Skirne which also includes the Byggve deposit
Skirne deposit
The Skirne field was discovered in 1990.[3] and consists of Middle Jurassic sandstones of the Brent Group. Skirne deposit lies 2,370 metres (7,780 ft) deep.[1]
Byggve deposit
The Byggve field is located 16 km (9.9 mi) east of the Heimdal gas field[3] and was discovered in 1991.[3] and consists of Middle Jurassic sandstones of the Brent Group. Byggve deposit lies 2,900 metres (9,500 ft) deep.[1]
Production
Production at Skirne and Byggve started in 2004. Expected project duration is 6 years[3] and produce 140 million cubic feet per day (4.0×106 m3/d) of gas and 7,000 barrels per day (1,100 m3/d) of condensate.[5]
The fields are interconnected through two single-well tie-backs and transported to treatment facilities at Heimdal Gas Center, from which the processed gas is then exported to the United Kingdom through the Vesterled pipeline.[4]
Total investment including the Vale satellite has been nearly 4 billion NOK which also included modifications on Heimdal, drilling operations, subsea templates and pipelines.[4]
