About the field
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
- Development
- Symra is a field in the central North Sea, five kilometres northeast of the Ivar Aasen field. The field consists of several segments. The water depth is 110 metres. Symra was discovered in 2018, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 2023. The development concept includes a subsea template with four wells tied-back to the Ivar Aasen platform.
- Reservoir
- The reservoirs contain oil in the Zechstein Group of Permian age and in the underlying basement rocks. In addition, oil was proven in intra-Heather sandstone of Middle Jurassic age. The reservoirs are at a depth of 1800 metres and have varying properties.
- Recovery strategy
- The field is produced by pressure depletion. Pressure support by water injection will be considered.
- Transport
- The well stream is routed by pipeline via Ivar Aasen to the Edvard Grieg facility for final processing and further transport.
- Status
- The production started in April 2026.
