About the field
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
- Development
- Urd is a field in the Norwegian Sea, five kilometres northeast of the Norne field. The water depth is 380 metres. Urd was discovered in 2000, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 2004. The field has three deposits: Svale, Svale North and Stær. The Urd field has been developed with subsea templates tied-back to the Norne production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO). The production started in 2005 from Svale, from Stær in 2006 and from Svale North in 2016.
- Reservoir
- Urd produces oil from Lower to Middle Jurassic sandstone in the Åre, Tilje and Ile Formations. The field is structurally complex and segmented. The reservoirs are at depths of 1800-2300 metres and have moderate to good quality.
- Recovery strategy
- The field is produced by water injection and gas lift.
- Transport
- The well stream is processed on the Norne FPSO, and the oil is offloaded to shuttle tankers together with oil from the Norne field. The gas is sent from Norne to Åsgard, and then exported via the Åsgard Transport System (ÅTS) to the Kårstø terminal.
- Status
- Challenges for Urd are poor pressure support, increasing water cut, problems with the well stream (slugging and sand production) and failure of subsea/well equipment. A sidetrack of an existing producer was drilled in 2023.
