Description

  • Alve lies in production licence 159B, about 16 kilometres south-west of Norne. The field embraces the Garn, Not Ile and Tilje formations. The proven reserves lie in Garn and Not.
  • The quality of the reservoir at Alve is such that one well ensures good production. Expected maximum gas production is roughly four million cubic metres of gas per day.
  • Recoverable reserves are estimated to be 6,78 billion cubic metres of gas and 8.3 million barrels of condensate
  • Production is delivered from the Alve field to the FPSO on the Norne Oil Field
