		It had been contemplated to shoot a short land/transiton zone seismic survey to directly tie the onshore and offshore seismic datasets leading to a better definition of the prospect, but the costs of such a survey are porbably prohibitive and could better be applied to the cost of an exploratory well.

		The Committee reported to the Council in December, 1985 on the various rail and pipeline options which were being considered by British Petroleum and Dorset County Council for the export of oil from the Wytch Farm field, where a tenfold increase in output is planned by the end of the decade.
		On the basis of the information available at that stage, the Committee had objected to the pipeline to Southampton Water option and had grave misgivings about the rail option but did not entirely rule it out at that stage.
		British Petroleum therefore submitted to the Department of Energy an application under the Pipelines Act 1962 for the construction of a pipeline from Wytch Farm to Southampton Water at Fawley.

	Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Limitations on water handling capacity at Wytch Farm mean high water-cuts from horizontal wells could lead to loss of oil production.
		To avoid this, a pilot study has been undertaken on a single horizontal well, to investigate the potential for a water shut-off treatment and estimate the associated risk.
		In addition, techniques have been developed which can be used generally to evaluate the potential benefit of water shut-off treatments.
