About the field
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
- Development
- Verdande is a field in the Norwegian Sea, 10 kilometres north of the Norne field. The water depth is 380 metres. Verdande was discovered in 2017, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 2023. The development concept includes a subsea template with three production wells tied-back to the Norne floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO).
- Reservoir
- The reservoir contains oil and gas in sandstone of Early Cretaceous age in the Lange Formation. It is at a depth of about 3000 metres and has good quality.
- Recovery strategy
- The field is produced by pressure depletion.
- Transport
- The gas is exported via the Åsgard Transport System (ÅTS) to the terminal at Kårstø. Oil and condensate is offloaded from the Norne FPSO to shuttle tankers.
- Status
- The production started in December 2025.
