The giant Forties field is situated on UK Block 21/10, which is in the northern part of the British sector of the North Sea. It lies at water depth of 106m and is 180 km from Aberdeen city. It was discovered in 1970. Forties was just the second oil field to be discovered in the UK North Sea.

Forties oil field is jointly owned by Apache North Sea Limited, Esso Exploration & Production UK Limited and Shell UK Limited. Apache North Sea Limited is the operator of the field with 97.14% interest. The field was initially owned by BP. But in 2003, it was acquired by Apache North Sea Limited at a price of $683 million. For Apache it costed $1.3 billion after including the Malaysian Government’s take.

Forties produces single product crude oil. It is a high quality product with API of 37 ° and is sweet due to low sulfur content. Apache North Sea Limited estimated the recoverable reserves of the field to be 2.82 billion barrels.

It has produced 2.63 billion barrels of crude oil till 2009, with around 23 million barrels being produced in the year 2009. Because of the redevelopment plans of Apache North Sea Limited the field is estimated to produce till 2025.

The peak production was around 184 million barrels in 1979, when the field supplied 25% of the UK's oil demand.
