Development turning discoveries into production
Norway is a core region for Wintershall Dea. That is why we are committed to developing new oil and gas fields on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
Wintershall Dea has extensive experience in constructing offshore fields and turning discoveries into production. As a centre of operation for subsea development and production, Wintershall Dea in Norway is building more fields – including the Dvalin North discovery – that will use existing infrastructure and offshore platforms to sustainably produce hydrocarbons on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. As an engaged, reliable partner, Wintershall Dea also invests in joint ventures and uses its experience as a developer to help build fields operated by our partners.
Askeladd
Support Barents production
Askeladd is a subsea LNG development which will increase plateau production at the onshore Melkøya processing plant in Hammerfest. Askeladd is part of the development plan for the Snøhvit feld, and comprises Askeladd Nord, Gamma and Vest, which will export to shore using two subsea templates tied back via the existing Snøhvit subsea facilities. Equinor is the operator.
Irpa
A deepsea tieback
Irpa is a subsea gas field connected via an 80km pipeline to the Aasta Hansteen platform in the Norwegian Sea. Located west of Aasta Hansteen at a water depth of 1350 metres, it is the deepest tie-back field in Norway and one of the longest. The sub-zero temperatures mean the pipeline must be highly insulated to prevent freezing. With reserves of 125 million boe, the field is designed to extend the lifetime of Aasta Hansteen, as well as unlocking more economic volumes. The field lies around 340 km west of Bodø in northern Norway.
Solveig Phase 2
A promising tieback
Solveig Phase 2 is the latest development of the Solveig field, which ties back to the Edvard Grieg platform in the North Sea. The new field is located some 15 km south of Edvard Grieg.
