PRODUCTION FROM THE FIELD

Development

Fram H-Nord is a field just north of the Fram field in the northern part of the North Sea. The water depth is 360 metres. Fram H-Nord was discovered in 2007, and the authorities granted an exemption from the plan for development and operation (PDO) requirement in 2013. The field is developed with a two-branch multilateral (MLT) well from a 4-slot template. The production started in 2014. The Byrding field is also drilled from the Fram H-Nord template.

Reservoir

Fram H-Nord produces oil and gas from turbiditic sandstone of Late Jurassic age in the Heather Formation. The reservoir is at a depth of 2950 metres and has good quality.

Recovery strategy

The field is produced by pressure depletion. The well is equipped with gas lift.

Transport

The well stream is routed through a template on Fram Vest and further to the Troll C facility for processing. The oil is transported further by the Troll Oil Pipeline II to the Mongstad terminal, and the gas is exported via the Troll A platform to the Kollsnes terminal.

Status

Fram H-Nord has produced below expectations and had been shut-in for a period because of severe problems with the well stream (slugging). The production started again in 2022. Continuous gas lift is required to keep the well on stream.
