SANDNES, Norway – Production through the Neptune Energy-operated Gjøa platform in the Norwegian North Sea increased by 2 MMboe last year, totalling 42 MMboe.
Gas represented 76% of that total, all sent through the FLAGS pipeline across the North Sea to the St. Fergus gas terminal on the Scottish east coast.
Much of the increase was due to start-ups of the Gjøa P1 infill development in February and the Duva field tieback in August.
In addition, production from the Wintershall Dea-operated subsea tieback, and the Gjøa field itself, was higher than expected. Reserves on the Gjøa field have now risen by an estimated 38% since the plan for development and production was approved in 2007.
This year Neptune expects to bring onstream a fourth tie-in to the Gjøa facilities, Wintershall Dea’s Nova field. It also plans to drill two exploration wells in the area and to mature other nearby discoveries and exploration opportunities for potential ties, helping the Gjøa hub to continue operations through 2040.
