Aker BP begins oil production from Tyrving field offshore Norway
(WO) – Oil production has started from the Tyrving field in the Alvheim area offshore Norway. Tyrving is operated by Aker BP, with Petoro and PGNiG Upstream Norway as partners.
The Tyrving development leverages the planned extended lifetime for the Alvheim field and will increase production while reducing both unit costs and CO2 emissions per barrel.
The Tyrving development consists of three wells and two new subsea installations (manifolds), tied back to existing infrastructure at East Kameleon and further to the Alvheim FPSO.
Recoverable resources in Tyrving are estimated at approximately 25 MMboe. Tyrving will operate with exceptionally low emissions, estimated at just 0.3 kg of CO2 per barrel.
