Njord is an oil field located about 30 kilometres west of Draugen in the Norwegian Sea. The water depth in the area is 330 metres.
The field has been developed with a semi-submersible drilling, accommodation and production facility and a storage vessel, Njord B.
The facility is placed over subsea completed wells connected through flexible risers.
The facility was originally only producing oil
The Hyme Oil Field was developed as a subsea tie back
The Bauge field consists of two oil producers in a subsea template, in addition to pipelines and an umbilical connecting the wells to the Njord A platform.
The oil is off-loaded from the storage vessel to tankers for transport to the market. The gas is transported through Åsgard Transport to Kårstø.

The platform and FSO were brought ashore in 2016 after 19 years of production and were refurbished and upgraded.
10 new wells will be drilled at Njord from an upgraded drilling facility, new discoveries have been made at the outer edges of Njord, and more exploration will be carried out in the surrounding area.
In addition, the platform and FSO have been prepared to receive production from two new subsea fields, Bauge and Fenja, with a total of 110 million barrels of recoverable resources.
