The Dunlin oilfield is situated 195 km northeast of Lerwick , Shetland , Scotland , in block number 211 23a and 211 24a. It was originally operated by Royal Dutch Shell Shell but was recently sold and is now operated by Fairfield Energy although Amec have a duty holdership contract on the Dunlin Alpha oil platform and AKER solutions have the engineering and upgrade project contract. It was discovered in July 1973 at a water depth of 151 metres 495 ft . Estimated recovery is 363 million barrels of oil. The oil reservoir is located at a depth of 9,000 feet 2,740 metres . Production Production started in August 1978 from the Dunlin Alpha platform. This platform is a concrete gravity platform of the Condeep type. It has four legs and storage capacity for 838,200 barrels of oil. The total sub structure weight is 225,000 long ton s 229,000 tonnes and it is designed to carry a topsides weight of 15,635 long tons 15,886 tonnes . The topsides facilities included capability to drill, produce meter and pump oil. It also has capability to re inject water to maintain reservoir pressure. Peak production was 115,000 barrels per day in 1979. Oil production is by pipeline to Cormorant oilfield Cormorant Alpha and then by Brent System pipeline to Sullom Voe , Shetland .

It is the Monotypic taxon only member of the genus Limicola some have proposed that it should be placed in the genus Erolia with the stint sandpipers Citation needed date February 2007 , but more recent research Thomas et al. , 2004 suggests that it is should rather go into the genus Philomachus with the Ruff bird ruff and possibly the Sharp tailed Sandpiper it certainly is a fairly unusual calidrid . Description Broad billed Sandpipers are small waders, slightly smaller than the Dunlin, but with a longer straighter beak bill , and shorter legs. The breeding adult has patterned dark grey upperparts and white underparts with blackish markings on the breast. It has a pale crown stripe and supercilia. In the boreal winter, they are pale grey above and white below, like a winter Dunlin, but retaining the head pattern. Juveniles have backs, similar to young Dunlin, but the white flanks and belly and brown streaked breast are distinctive. Distribution and habitat The Broad billed Sandpiper is strongly bird migration migratory , spending the non breeding season from easternmost Africa , through south and south east Asia to Australasia . It is highly gregarious, and will form flocks with other calidrid waders, particularly Dunlin s.

Chessel Bay Local Nature Reserve LNR , designated by the City Council in 1989, is located here. It comprises a narrow strip of woodland, a parallel strip of shingle and saltmarsh and a substantial area of mudflats. At low tide the mudflats are exposed attracting wading birds and wildfowl curlew, oystercatchers and dunlin can be seen throughout the year. In winter, the site is also used as a stop over for other migrating birds such as brent geese. At low tide, mudflats are exposed, and these attract feeding estuary birds. The mudflats are also nationally and internationally important being part of the Lee on Solent to Itchen estuary Site of Special Scientific Interest SSSI and part of the Southampton Water and Solent Marshes Special Protection Area SPA .

Reeds have also been planted around the largest pool.
