• Production start: planned for 2028
• Partners: Equinor Energy AS (40%), DNO Norge AS (20%) and Sval Energi AS* (10%)
• Type: Gas and Condensate
• Estimated Reserves: The estimated recoverable resources are expected to be some 45 million barrels of oil equivalents

Description

• The development concept for the Berling field is a 4-slot subsea production template tied back via a 24-kilometer pipeline to the Equinor-operated Åsgard B platform
• The rich gas will be processed on Åsgard B and transported via the Åsgard Transport System for further processing at Kårstø gas processing plant.
• The condensate will be transferred to Åsgard and co-mingled with other Åsgard production for storage and export by shuttle tankers to the market
• The field was previously known as Hades/Iris

Contractors

• Aker Solutions:
  • FEED
  • EPCIC: engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning of subsea tie backs

History

• 2018 - Iris and Hades were discovered
• 2022 - PDO was submitted
• 2023 - Final Investment decision made

Geology

• Hades a gas/condensate column totalling about 35 metres in the Lange formation. 15 metres of this constitutes the reservoir, which consists of sandstone with moderate to good reservoir properties.
• Iris - the well encountered a gas/condensate column totalling about 95 metres in the Garn formation. 85 metres of this constitutes the reservoir, which consists of sandstone with variable reservoir quality from moderate to very good.
