About the field
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
- Development
- Nova is a field in the northern part of the North Sea, 20 kilometres southwest of the Gjøa field. The water depth is 370 metres. Nova was proven in 2012, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 2018. The development consists of two 4-slot subsea templates, one with three oil producers and one with three water injectors, tied-back to the Gjøa platform. The production started in 2022.
- Reservoir
- The reservoir contains oil with a gas cap in sandstone of Late Jurassic age in the Heather Formation of the Viking Group, at a depth of 2500 metres. The reservoir quality is good.
- Recovery strategy
- The field is produced by pressure support from water injection and with gas lift.
- Transport
- The well stream is routed to the Gjøa platform for processing and export. The oil is transported further through the Troll Oil Pipeline II to the Mongstad terminal, and the gas is exported via the Far North Liquids and Associated Gas System (FLAGS) pipeline to St Fergus in the UK.
- Status
- The production from Nova is in accordance with the reserved capacity at the Gjøa processing facility. The main focus is to optimise pressure support to the production wells.
