BP has opened its first-ever UK centre dedicated to training and development via life-size simulators, augmented reality and 3D visualization capability. Offshore-Technology's Heidi Vella was invited to the centre to experience the centre first-hand. In July, BP opened the doors to its shiny-new Upstream Learning Centre built on spare land at its International Centre for Business and Technology (ICBT) in Sunbury-on-Thames.
Forties Oilfield, located in the UK Licence Block 21/10, approximately 140 miles north-east of Aberdeen in the UK sector of the North Sea, was discovered by British Petroleum (BP) in October 1970. The platforms at the field include Forties Alpha, Forties Bravo, Forties Charlie, Forties Delta and Forties Echo.
