OSLO, Norway – Spirit Energy has clearance from both the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) and Norway’s Petroleum Safety Authority to start operations at the Oda field in the southern Norwegian North Sea.
These could begin in February or March.
Oda was discovered in 2011 in 65 m (213 ft) water depth; theplan for development and operation was approved in May 2017. Development includes two production wells tied-back to the Aker BP-operated Ula complex, 10 km (6.2 mi) to the west, and one injection well for pressure support.
Produced gas will be sold to the Ula licensees for use as injection gas for alternating water and gas injection on the Ula field.
Oil will be exported through Ula’s existing export pipeline via the Ekofisk field to the Teesside terminal in northeast England.
Seawater used for water injection for pressure support on Oda will be imported from the Ula platform.
The NPD estimates total investments for the development at NOK5.5 billion ($641 million), and reserves at 32.7 MMboe, mainly oil.
