The Brae field is a Scottish oil field. Three accumulations total about 70 million tonnes of oil liquids and a further 22 cubic kilometres of gas. The main platforms currently produce from underlying reserves, with regular infill drilling to identify and exploit undrained pockets in the Brae stratigraphy. A number of sub-sea tieback fields in the area produce through facilities on the platforms, extending their viability into the future.
