PRODUCTION FROM THE FIELD

Development

Hanz is a field in the North Sea, 12 kilometres north of the Ivar Aasen field. The water depth is 115 metres. Hanz was discovered in 1997 and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved as a part of the PDO for Ivar Aasen in 2013. Hanz is developed with subsea templates tied-back to Ivar Aasen.

Reservoir

The reservoir contains oil with a minor gas cap. It is in the Draupne Formation of Late Jurassic age at a depth of 2350 metres. It is in presumably deep marine sandstone with good reservoir properties.

Recovery strategy

The field is produced by pressure support from a crossflow water injector between the Heimdal aquifer and the reservoir in the Draupne Formation.

Transport

After initial processing on the Ivar Aasen field, the well stream is transported to the Edvard Grieg field for final processing and export.

Status

The field started production in April 2024.
