About the field
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
- Development
- Fenja is a field in the Norwegian Sea, 35 kilometres southwest of the Njord field. The water depth is 325 metres. The field also includes the discovery 6406/12-3 A (Bue). Fenja was discovered in 2014, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 2018. The field is developed with two subsea templates with a total of six wells, tied-back to the Njord A facility. The production started in April 2023.
- Reservoir
- The reservoirs contain oil and gas in sandstone of Late Jurassic age in the Melke Formation, and oil in Upper Jurassic sandstone in the Rogn Formation. They are in a fan system at a depth of 3200-3500 metres and have variable reservoir properties.
- Recovery strategy
- The field is produced by pressure support from water and gas injection. Produced gas is reinjected into the reservoir. The reinjected gas will be produced at the end of the oil production period.
- Transport
- The well stream is routed by pipeline to the Njord A facility for processing. The oil is stored at the Njord B facility and transferred to shuttle tankers. The gas is exported via Åsgard Transport System (ÅTS).
- Status
- The production has been lower than planned due to the field’s overall lower potential, increasing water cut and a rising gas-oil ratio. The discovery 6406/11-1 S (Vidsyn) was drilled in 2025. Work is ongoing to evaluate further appraisal of prospects in the vicinity and to establish a development project.
