Equinor has started production at the Halten East development in the Norwegian Sea, two years following approval from Norwegian authorities.
Halten East is a tie-in development in the Kristin-Åsgard area in the Norwegian Sea. Equinor (operator, 69.5%), Vår Energi (24.6%) and Petoro (5.9%) are partners in the project. The development consists of six gas discoveries and flexibility for three prospects to use existing infrastructure and processing capacity at Åsgard B.
The reservoirs of Halten East contain gas and condensate. The recoverable reserves are estimated to be around 100 MMboe from the discoveries. The gas will be sent to Kårstø from Åsgard B, from where it will be exported to Europe via pipeline.
The estimated payback time for the project is one year.
“Piped gas from Norway is in high demand and important for energy security. In a challenging cost and inflation environment, the project has been delivered both on time and within our cost estimate,” says Geir Tungesvik, executive vice president for projects, drilling and procurement in Equinor.
