The Norwegian and UK authorities have now approved the Plan for Development and Operation (PDO) of Tommeliten A, a gas condensate field in the Greater Ekofisk Area. Planned production start-up is in 2024.  

The Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy and the UK North Sea Transition Authority have approved the development of the Tommeliten A Field. Tommeliten A is a subsea development comprising of two subsea templates, which can accommodate up to 12 production wells. The field facilities will be tied back to the Ekofisk Complex, where a new processing module will be installed. The new subsea templates will be located approx. 25 kilometers southwest of the Ekofisk Complex.  

Resource potential for the Tommeliten A field is estimated to be in the range of 80-180 million barrels oil equivalent, mainly comprising gas condensate. The field development will unlock production of new resources in the area and further strengthen the Ekofisk legacy and future. Total capital investments are estimated to be approximately 13 billion Norwegian kroner.
