About the field
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
- Development
- Mikkel is a field in the eastern part of the Norwegian Sea, 30 kilometres north of the Draugen field. The water depth is 220 metres. Mikkel was discovered in 1987, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 2001. The field is developed with two subsea templates tied-back to the Åsgard B facility. The production started in 2003.
- Reservoir
- Mikkel produces gas and condensate from Jurassic sandstone in the Garn, Ile and Tofte Formations. The field consists of six structures separated by faults, all with good reservoir quality. It has a 300-metre-thick gas/condensate column and a thin underlying oil zone. The reservoir depth is 2500 metres.
- Recovery strategy
- The field is produced by pressure depletion.
- Transport
- The well stream from Mikkel is combined with the well stream from the Midgard deposit and routed via the Åsgard Subsea Compressor to the Åsgard B facility for processing. The condensate is separated from the gas and stabilised before being shipped together with condensate from the Åsgard field. The condensate is sold as oil. The rich gas is transported via the Åsgard Transport System (ÅTS) to the Kårstø terminal for separation of the natural gas liquids (NGL). The dry gas is transported from Kårstø to continental Europe via the Europipe II pipeline.
- Status
- The production from Mikkel is governed by the reserved capacity on Åsgard B. No new wells have been drilled since 2020, and the field currently produces from four wells. A project for late life production is in its initial phase.
