据世界石油网站9月12日奥斯陆报道,挪威石油理事会已经同意Equinor公司使用Tordis和Vigdis油田的设施,使用年限超过最初批准的34年。Tordis已获得许可,将运营至2036年12月31日,Vigdis将运营至2040年12月31日。
“在原有生命周期内使用Tordis和Vigdis设施将有助于增加挪威货架的价值创造,这是良好的资源管理,”北海开发与运营部副主任Arvid?sthus说。
Equinor是这些油田的运营商,它们都位于北海北部Tampen地区的生产许可证089中。Statfjord、Snorre和Gullfaks距离最近。
Tordis采用与Gullfaks C设施相连的中央海底歧管开发而成。七个独立的卫星井和两个海底模板连接到歧管。Vigdis是与Snorre A设施相连的7个海底模板和两口卫星井开发的。
Tordis公司自1994年开始生产,并于2007年安装了海底多相泵,以提高油田采收率。Vigdis公司于1997年投产,计划于2020年在该油田安装海底多相泵。
目前这两个油田的授权方分别是Equinor、Petoro、埃克森美孚、Idemitsu Petroleum和DEA Norge。

Norway grants Tordis and Vigdis fields a 34-year extension
The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate has granted Equinor consent to use the facilities on the Tordis and Vigdis fields for a total of 34 years beyond their originally-approved lifetime. Tordis has secured consent to operate until December 31, 2036 and Vigdis until December 31, 2040.
“Utilisation of the facilities on Tordis and Vigdis beyond the original lifetime will contribute to increase value creation on the Norwegian shelf, and that’s good resource management,” says Arvid ?sthus, assistant director, development and operations, Northern North Sea.
Equinor is the operator of the fields, both of which are located in production licence 089 in the Tampen area in the northern part of the North Sea. Statfjord, Snorre and Gullfaks are the closest neighbours .
Tordis is developed with a central subsea manifold tied to the Gullfaks C facility. Seven separate satellite wells and two subsea templates are connected to the manifold. Vigdis is developed with seven subsea templates and two satellite wells which are tied to the Snorre A facility.
Tordis has produced since 1994, and a subsea multiphase pump was installed in 2007 to increase recovery from the field. Vigdis started producing in 1997, and the plan is to also install a subsea multiphase pump on this field in 2020.
Current licensees on both fields are Equinor, Petoro, ExxonMobil, Idemitsu Petroleum and DEA Norge.
