Development

Rev is a field close to the UK border in the southern part of the Norwegian sector in the North Sea, four kilometres south of the Varg field. The water depth is 90-110 metres. Rev was discovered in 2001, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 2007. The field is developed with a subsea template including three production wells connected to the Armada field on the UK continental shelf. The production started in 2009.

Reservoir

Rev produces gas and some condensate from intra-Heather sandstone of Late Jurassic age. The reservoir is a simple structure divided into two segments. It surrounds a salt structure at 3000 metres depth. The reservoir quality is good. Measurements show that the reservoir is in pressure communication with the Varg field.

Recovery strategy

The field is produced by pressure depletion.

Transport

The well stream is routed through a 10-kilometre pipeline to the Armada field in the UK sector and further to the Teesside terminal for final processing. The condensate is sold as stabilised crude oil.

Status

The estimated volumes have been reduced since the PDO. The field has been producing with very short production periods and long pressure build-up periods since 2013. Changes in the cyclical production frequency have provided longer production forecast from Rev.
