Update on Further development of Johan Sverdrup

15 Jun Update on Further development of Johan Sverdrup

London, (Oilandgaspress) – New volumes in the Johan Sverdrup area provide the basis for Johan Sverdrup phase 4. Equinor and the partnership are now maturing a new subsea development that will help maintain production and value creation from Norway’s largest oil-producing field. This also contributes to Europe’s energy security.

Recently completed appraisal wells in the Johan Sverdrup area have proven increased oil volumes. Discoveries made in the Tonjer wells and Geitungen will now form the basis for Johan Sverdrup phase 4.

The volumes from Tonjer west and east, and Geitungen are planned to be developed through a subsea development tied back to existing infrastructure on Johan Sverdrup. The resources will help maintain production from the field. Tonjer is located in the northernmost part of the Geitungen terrace in the Johan Sverdrup area. Oil has previously been discovered in the area, but the volumes and potential have been uncertain. The drilling of two appraisal wells and a sidetrack has now provided the basis for a more precise assessment of the resource base.

Preliminary estimates for Tonjer and Geitungen combined are between 20 and 30 million barrels of oil equivalent. Further analyses of subsurface data will form the basis for more precise resource estimates.
