Okea is currently working on plans to power Draugen from shore for a long period, possibly converting the platform into a hub in the Haltenbanken area.Ī portion of the gas produced from the field will be utilised as fuel at Draugen while the remaining will be exported through the Asgard Transport pipeline. The project will be the first tie-back to the Draugen platform and will add more than 4,000boe/d to the production.Īn energy-efficient semi-submersible drilling rig will be utilised for the development work. The Hasselmus gas field will be developed with a single subsea well tied back to the Okea-operated Draugen production platform. The well encountered a gas column of 16m and an oil column of 6.8m in high-quality sands at a depth of 1,700m. Hasselmus was discovered by the drilling of a single well, 6407/9-9 T2, on the Hasselmus structure by the previous operator Norske Shell in 1999. It will allow the project partners to reinitiate the export of associated gas, including natural gas liquids (NGL) that are currently injected into the Draugen reservoir. The project is expected to recover approximately 10.6 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe) as fuel and export gas. ![]() It is situated near the shore and tidal channel deposits. The gas in the Hasselmus reservoir is of good quality and entrapped in sandstone of the Early Jurassic period in the Ror and Ile formations. The discovery comprises both gas and oil, but only gas is currently being evaluated for development. Hasselmus gas discovery lies in the production licence (PL) 093 on the western edge of the Trondelag platform in the Norwegian Sea. The Hasselmus field is estimated to have gross plateau gas production of more than 4,400 barrels of oil equivalent (boe) a day. A/S Norske Shell continues to be the technical service provider of the Nyhamna Gas Processing Plant and partner in the Norwegian full-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) project Northern Lights and CCS test facility at Mongstad, the release said.The submission of the plan for development and operation (PDO) of the field to the regulatory authority is expected in 2021 while the first production from the field is anticipated in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2023. Its commitments include serving as operator of Ormen Lange and Knarr fields and as partner in Troll, Valemon and Kvitebjørn. Shell said it remains committed to Norway. RELATED: Shell, Nephin Energy Holdings Complete $1.3 Billion Ireland Asset Sales Deal 30 its exit from Ireland’s upstream sector, with the closure of an up to $1.3 billion deal with Canada Pension Plan Investment Board subsidiary Nephin Energy Holdings Ltd.

The fields represented about 14% of A/S Norske Shell’s total production in 2017. 30.Ĭompletion of the deal marks Shell’s exit from its 44.56% operated interest in the Draugen Field and 12% non-operated interest in the Gjøa Field.
