About the field
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
- Development
- Duva is a field in the northern part of the North Sea, six kilometres northeast of the Gjøa field. The water depth is 350 metres. Duva was discovered in 2016, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 2019. Duva is developed with a 4-slot subsea template including three oil production wells and one gas production well tied-back to the Gjøa platform. The production started in 2021.
- Reservoir
- The reservoir contains oil and gas in turbiditic sandstone of Early Cretaceous age in the Agat Formation. It is at a depth of 2200 metres and has good quality.
- Recovery strategy
- The field is produced by pressure depletion and gas expansion in the gas cap, followed by gas blowdown.
- 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 has been higher than anticipated, due to additional processing capacity available at the Gjøa platform and better performance of the oil production wells. The oil production is on decline, and start of the gas blowdown phase will depend on the performance of the oil producers.
