STAVANGER, Norway  Noreco has issued production/development updates for four hubs in the Danish North Sea in its latest results statement.

The company has interests in all four as a member of the Dansk Undergrunds Consortium, headed by TotalEnergies.

At the Dan hub, production has been strong with high uptime after five wells were brought back online.

Output from the Gorm has risen following scale squeeze operations late last year.

Halfdan also has experienced high uptime after the completion of workovers at year-end 2021, although production was impacted in May by a planned extended compressor wash. The focus remains on ensuring stable water injection into all four water-injected fields and improving operational efficiency to 90%, through limiting unplanned shortfalls and optimizing the schedule for planned shortfalls.

As for the Tyra redevelopment project, the TEG process module is due to depart McDermott’s yard in Indonesia in the current quarter, concluding the project’s fabrication phase. Noreco expects first gas from Tyra II in second-quarter 2023.

This is the largest project to date on the Danish Continental Shelf, designed to develop a further 200 MMboe-plus of resources and extend the field’s life by 25 years.

It also should reduce the field’s opex to below $13/bbl and cut emissions by 30%. The resumption of production should make Denmark self-sufficient in gas with the capability to export surplus volumes to the EU, Noreco added.
