Faroe Petroleum has sold its ten percent interest in the undeveloped West of Shetland Glenlivet gas field to Total E&P UK Limited.

The consideration for the sale of the Glenlivet interest is £10 million, with an effective date of 1 January 2014, of which a proportion is deferred until the submission of the field development plan and certain production targets being achieved.

This 2009 West of Shetland gas discovery is situated in the Faroe Shetland Basin in water depths of around 500 metres, approximately 35 kilometres north east of the Laggan gas field and 19 kilometres north of the Edradour gas discovery. Glenlivet is planned to be developed in conjunction with the Edradour field as part of the wider West of Shetlands Laggan and Tormore gas development, sanctioned in 2010 and operated by Total E&P UK Limited.
