The reservoir contains oil with a gas cap in sandstone of Late Jurassic age in the Sognefjord Formation. It is at a depth of 2150 metres and has varying reservoir properties.Recovery strategy
The field will be produced by natural aquifer drive combined with the expansion of the gas cap, in addition to gas lift in the wells.Transport
The well stream will be routed by pipeline to the Brage facility for processing and further transport.Status
The field is under development, and the production is planned to start in 2027.ACCRUED INVESTMENTS IN NOMINAL NOK
