Narrative:

The flight was to proceed from eddf to bgr, with a re- dispatch point over 50 degrees north, 50 degrees west. Our combined efforts were focused primarily on the critical fuel situation, so none of us managed to catch a seemingly innocuous error on our dispatch release. We had been incorrectly released for 180 mins ETOPS when 120 mins would have been more appropriate. We were within 120 min range at all times during the flight, and I only managed to notice something amiss when the captain displayed the single etp on the alternate route in the FMS, there should have been 2 etp's. By that time, we were past 30 degrees west and it was a moot point.
