Equinor and its partners have started production at the Utgard gas and condensate field in the North Sea along the Norwegian-U.K. border, the company said Sept. 17.

Daily production at plateau will be about 43,000 barrels of oil equivalent. Utgard’s recoverable resources are estimated at about 40 million barrels of oil equivalent.

The field will be remote-operated from the Norwegian Sleipner Field, where Equinor said the well stream will be processed before dry gas is transported via the Gassled pipeline system to market. Liquids are sent via an existing pipeline to Kårstø and onto Europe.

Sleipner’s facility will also be used by Utgard for CO2 purification and storage, according to Equinor.

“By reusing the existing infrastructure, we can, with relatively low investments, realize smaller discoveries that would not otherwise have been profitable enough to develop,” Arne Sigve Nylund, executive vice president for development and production Norway for Equinor, said in the release. At the same time, we are adding valuable volumes to Sleipner.”

Equinor is the field operator. Partners are Poland’s Lotos and the Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Co., a subsidiary of the Kuwait Petroleum Corp.
