Description
Description TypeTextDate updatedDevelopmentOrmen Lange is a field in the southern part of the Norwegian Sea, 120 kilometres west-northwest of the Nyhamna processing plant. The water depth varies from 800 to more than 1,100 metres. Ormen Lange was discovered in 1997, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 2004. Deep water and seabed conditions made the development very challenging and triggered development of new technology. The field has been developed in several phases. The development comprises four 8-slot subsea templates with a total of 24 production wells. Production started in 2007 from two subsea templates in the central part of the field. In 2009 and 2011, two additional templates were installed in the southern and northern parts of the field, respectively. An amended PDO for subsea gas compression was approved in 2022.28.02.2023ReservoirOrmen Lange produces very dry gas and small amounts of condensate from Paleocene sandstone in the Egga Formation. The reservoir lies at a depth of 2,700-2,900 metres below sea level and has excellent quality.28.02.2023Recovery strategyThe field is produced by pressure depletion.28.02.2023TransportThe well stream is transported in two multiphase pipelines to the Nyhamna terminal for processing and is exported in the Langeled pipeline via Sleipner to Easington in the UK.28.02.2023StatusOrmen Lange production is declining, and reservoir monitoring is a key focus. Work is ongoing to increase recovery from the field. Land-based gas compression at the Nyhamna terminal started operation in 2017. Subsea gas compression is currently being installed.28.02.2023 -
