Partner operated fields 

Partner-operated fields represent a significant proportion of StatoilHydro's oil and gas portfolio. The portfolio ranges from development projects to mature fields, and their complexity requires detailed knowledge of the areas involved.
StatoilHydro has an 11.78% interest in the Enoch field operated by Talisman. The field is a subsea development tied back to Brae A in the British sector. Production started in May 2007.

Ekofisk is the oldest field complex in operation on the Norwegian continental shelf. The operator is ConocoPhillips. It consists of the fields Ekofisk, Eldfisk and Embla (StatoilHydro's interest 7.604%) plus Tor (StatoilHydro's interest 6.639%). Ekofisk has been upgraded with several new platforms over the years, the latest was 2/4-M installed in 2005. Several new projects are being studied: a new Ekofisk Hotel and fields centre, a new Ekofisk South drilling platform and redevelopment of Eldfisk. Final decisions are expected to be taken during the next few years. These new platforms are expected to extend the field life beyond the current licence period, which ends in 2028.

Ormen Lange, a deepwater gas field in the Norwegian Sea, is the second largest gas field on the NCS. StatoilHydro has an interest of 28.92%. StatoilHydro was the operator for the development phase and Norske Shell became the operator for the production phase that began at the end of 2007. StatoilHydro continues to execute approved, but not yet completed, parts of the subsea development. Ormen Lange extends across three production licences. The selected development is an extensive seabed development at depths ranging from 850 to 1,100 metres. The well stream is transported to an onshore processing and export plant at Nyhamna. Sales gas is transported through a dry gas pipeline, Langeled, via Sleipner to Easington in the UK.

StatoilHydro has a 14.82% interest in the ExxonMobil-operated field Ringhorne East. The unitised field started production in March 2006. Three production wells have been drilled from the Ringhorne facility. Oil is transported via Ringhorne to Balder for offshore loading. Gas is exported via Jotun into Statpipe. A fourth production well is planned.

Sigyn, operated by ExxonMobil, is a gas and condensate field located 12 kilometres south-east of the Sleipner A installation. The gas is exported from Sleipner A and the condensate is delivered to Kårstø. Our interest is 60%. The development consists of three production wells on one subsea template, with two pipelines and one umbilical connecting it to the Sleipner A platform.

StatoilHydro has a 10% interest in the Skirne gas and condensate field, which is operated by Total. The field has two subsea templates. The well stream is transported to Heimdal for processing. From there, gas is transported in Vesterled or Statpipe. The condensate is transported to Brae/Forties in the UK sector.
