Harbour Energy has announced the safe start-up of gas production from its operated Dvalin North project in the Norwegian Sea, delivered ahead of schedule and under budget.
Dvalin North is a three well subsea tie back to existing infrastructure via Harbour’s operated Dvalin field, with production now under way from all three wells.
Michael Zechner, Managing Director of Harbour Energy in Norway, said: 'Dvalin North builds on our strong track record of delivering infrastructure-led projects on the Norwegian Continental Shelf and is the second of five projects in our Norway portfolio due online this year. The project adds new gas volumes that support reliable energy supply to Europe while also creating value in Norway.'
The development solution ensures good resource utilisation and even better use of the capacity at Heidrun.
