Production start-up on Edvard Greig gets the go ahead

World Pipelines,
Production start-up is scheduled in accordance with the Plan for Development and Operation (PDO). Development costs have increased slightly, but the increase is within the uncertainty range of plus/minus 20 per cent in the PDO investment projections.
Edvard Grieg is located on the Utsira High, about 35 kilometres south of the Grane and Balder fields. The field is developed with a stand-alone processing platform on a steel-jacket structure. The oil will be transported via pipeline (EGOP) to the Grane oil pipeline and on to the Sture Terminal north of Bergen. The gas will be transported via a separate pipeline (UHGP), which is tied-in to the transport system on the UK side (SAGE).
The NPD recently granted start-up consents for the EGOP and UHGP transport systems.
When development plans for Edvard Grieg and the neighbouring field Ivar Aasen were made, it was decided that the development solutions for these fields should be coordinated. Oil and gas from Ivar Aasen will be processed on Edvard Grieg, then routed via the same transport systems. Production start-up on Ivar Aasen is scheduled for late 2016.
Edvard Grieg will supply Ivar Aasen with power. The licensees in production licence 338 are cooperating with other licensees on the Utsira High regarding a coordinated solution for power from land.

When the tanks are full, the liquefied carbon dioxide will be loaded onto a dedicated carrier from Royal Wagenborg and shipped to the INEOS Nini platform in the Danish North Sea. From there, it will be safely injected via pipeline into subsurface reservoirs approximately 1800 m beneath the seabed for permanent storage.
