Equinor has been granted a ten-year lifetime extension for the Troll B facility in the North Sea, after demonstrating through a series of seismic surveys that the field has substantial resources still to be exploited.
Equinor has been granted a ten-year lifetime extension for the Troll B facility in the North Sea, after demonstrating through a series of seismic surveys that the field has substantial resources still to be exploited.
Overall, nine seismic surveys have been carried out on the Troll field, with the last one was completed last summer. All previous surveys have contributed to identifying new well targets. The licensees expect the results from processing the data from the latest seismic survey will yield additional well targets. These can be drilled from the subsea templates tied to Troll B.
‘Extended operation of Troll B secures a foundation for good resource management of significant oil and gas resources from the gigantic Troll field,’ said Arvid Østhus, assistant director development and operations, North Sea in the NPD.
