Aker BP ASA (Aker BP) has submitted the Plans for Development and Operations ("PDOs") for the Valhall Flank West, Ærfugl (formerly Snadd) and Skogul (formerly Storklakken) fields to the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy.
Valhall Flank East
This development represents an extension on the western Flank of the Valhall field. It will be developed from a new Normally Unmanned Installation and will be tied back to the Valhall field centre. The platform will be fully electrified and operated remotely from Valhall. Recoverable reserves are estimated at 60mmboe to be drained using six producers with first oil planned for Q4 2019.
Field partners are AkerBP (35.95%) and Hess Norge (64.05%). Aker is in the process of acquiring Hess Norge and has entered into an agreement to farm-down 10% to Pandion Energy.
Ærfugl (formerly Snadd)
This is a gas condensate field near the AkerBP operated Skarv FPSO. The PDO covers the full-field development and includes the resources in both the Ærfugl and Snadd Outer fields which are planned to be developed in two phases.
The first phase includes three new production wells in the southern part of the field tied into the Skarv FPSO with production planned to commence in late 2020. The second phase continues to be worked up and will target the northern part of the field - it is also planned to be tied into the Skarv FPSO with an estimated startup of 2023. The full field development targets 275mmboe.
Partners in Ærfugl are AkerBP (23.8% operator), Statoil (36.2%), DEA (28.1%) and PGNiG (11.9%).
Partners in Snadd Outer are: AkerBP (30% operator), Statoil (30%), DEA (25%) and PGNiG (15%).
Skogul (formerly Storklakken)
Skogul is located 30km north of Alvheim FPSO, and will be developed as a subsea tieback to Alvheim via Vilje. Recoverable reserves are estimated at 10mmboe. The Skogul production well is the 35th well in the Alvheim area and represents the partners' efforts in extending life and recovery in the area. Production is planned for Q1 2020.
Field partners are AkerBP (65% operator) and PGNiG (35%).
