Description
- The field formerly known as Alfa Sentral, is located 21 kilometres from the Sleipner Gas And Condensate Field.
- The Utgard development will include two wells in a standard subsea concept, with one drilling target on each side of the median line.
- Gas and condensate will be piped through a new pipeline to the Sleipner field for processing and further transportation to the market.
- The Utgard gas has a high CO2 content
- The Utgard wells are scheduled to come on stream at the end of 2019
- In the plateau phase the field will produce approximately some 7,000 Sm3 per day of oil equivalent.
- The gas will then be exported on to the Gassled pipeline system, while the unstable condensate will be transported to Kårstø for further processing and export.
Contractors
- Wood Group Kenny:
- FEED support for the pipeline system
- Detailed design scope of the subsea tie-back
- Aker Solutions: engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning (EPCIC) services for the Sleipner platform alterations
