Aker BP has commenced production at the Skarv Satellite Project in the Norwegian Sea, bringing the Alve Nord, Idun Nord and Ørn fields online one year ahead of the initial schedule.
The developments hold nearly 120 million barrels of oil equivalent (mboe) in recoverable resources. In addition, they aim to improve flexibility and prolong operational life for the infrastructure surrounding the Skarv field.
The Alve Nord, Idun Nord and Ørn fields are located near the existing Skarv field in the northern Norwegian Sea. They have each been developed as separate subsea projects, linked together through the Skarv Satellite Project.
Each development incorporates a subsea template and two wells, all tied back to the Skarv floating production, storage and offloading facility.
Aker BP indicated that efficient use of existing infrastructure has kept the carbon dioxide (CO₂) intensity of production at around 4.5kg per barrel of oil equivalent (boe).
