LONDON — The Deepsea Yantai semisubmersible has drilled all four development wells for the Neptune Energy-operated Fenja oil and gas field in the Norwegian Sea.
Production should start during first-quarter 2023, building to a peak of about 28,000 boe/d.
The two oil producers, one water injector and one gas injector are connected to two subsea templates tied back to the Equinor-operated Njord A platform via a production pipeline, water and gas injection pipelines and an umbilical.
Toward the end of field life, the gas injector will be converted to a gas producer.
Earlier this summer, Equinor’s contractor pulled in the Fenja risers and dynamic umbilical to the Njord A, which had returned to the Njord Field following upgrades in western Norway.
Final tie-in activities should finish shortly, and all Fenja’s subsea facilities are ready.
The electrically trace-heated subsea production pipe-in-pipe solution, developed by TechnipFMC/Neptune to transport oil from Fenja to the Njord A platform, is the world’s longest at 37 km.
Fenja is 36 km southwest of Njord A in 325 m water depth.
