Statoil commenced production of oil from the Morvin subsea field towards the Åsgard field in the Norwegian Sea 1 August 2010.

Located 20 kilometres west of the Åsgard B platform on the Halten Bank, Morvin is a subsea development with two templates and four production wells.

The well stream is led through a 20-kilometre long pipeline to the Åsgard B platform for processing.

The field will be an important contributor in the effort of maintaining production on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS) at the current level until 2020.

The initial production rate will be close to 26,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
