The following projects are being developed on the NCS to give existing installations a new lease of life or exploit new opportunities.
Oseberg Low Pressure involves the installation of two new production manifolds for low-pressure wells with tie-in to second stage separators. Production is planned to start in late 2009.
The Snorre Redevelopment project is defined as an IOR project and will contribute to achieving the Snorre Unit and Vigdis overall oil recovery ambition. The project includes a water injection pipeline from Statfjord C to the Vigdis field.
The Statfjord Late Life project will convert Statfjord into a mainly gas-producing field by changing the drainage strategy. Export of gas to the UK through a new pipeline connected to the existing pipelines to Flags and St. Fergus commenced in late 2007. The total investments in the project are estimated to be NOK 19.6 billion.
Troll Field projects includes the Troll B Gas Injection project and the Troll A P12 Pipeline Project. The main goal for these projects is IOR from Troll B and to enable the Troll field to maintain an average gas export capacity of 120 million standard cubic metres per day and a long-term gas export capacity of 30 giga standard cubic metres per year.
The Troll B Gas Injection project includes two gas injectors in the Troll West Gas Province south. Start up is planned in 2011.
The Troll A P12 project includes a new 62.5 kilometres 36 inch pipeline between Troll A and Kollsnes, modifications on Troll A and an interface with the Kollsnes plant. The pipeline is planned to start in late 2011.
The Troll C - O2 Template, which will be located north-west of the Troll C platform, is defined as an IOR project. The O2 Template will be tied back to the existing O1 Template, which is tied back to Troll C. Drilling is expected to start in late 2009 and production is planned to start in 2010.
A new low-pressure compressor module on Troll C will be installed to increase capacity, and thereby production and recovery from Troll West. Production is planned to start in 2010.
Tune South is a single satellite well tied back via the Tune Main template to the Oseberg Field Centre. Tie-in and production start up are planned for mid-2009.
