Summary Information

  • Operator: Eni
  • Country: Norway
  • Location:
  • Production start: 2012
  • Partners: Var Energi (20%) with Statoil (50%) and Ineos (30%)
  • Type: Gas And Condensate
  • Estimated Reserves: estimated reserves of 74.7 million barrels of oil equivalent
  • Production Volume: 20,000 boe/d

Description

  • The field is located in the Norwegian Sea about 30 km southwest of the Norne FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) vessel at a water depth of 365 metres.
  • The wellstream is sent to the Norne vessel for processing.
  • The gas is then be transported to Åsgard Transport and further to Kårstø for export.
  • It consists of two formations, Lysing and Lange, that both contain gas and condensate. The Marulk base case comprises production from the Lysing formation only, which is estimated to have recoverable reserves of approximately 70 million barrels of oil equivalent (BOE).

Contractors
