About the field
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
- Development
- Gungne is a field in the Sleipner area in the central part of the North Sea. The water depth is 85 metres. Gungne was discovered in 1982, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 1995. The field has been developed by three wells drilled from the Sleipner A installation. The production started in 1996. A PDO exemption was granted for the Skagerrak and Hod Formations in 2000, and for a well to the Gamma High structure in 2007.
- Reservoir
- Gungne produces gas and condensate mainly from sandstone in the Triassic Skagerrak Formation, with some contribution from Middle Jurassic sandstone in the Hugin Formation and Paleogene sandstone in Ty Formation. The Skagerrak Formation has generally poorer reservoir quality than the Hugin and Ty Formations. The reservoirs are at a depth of 2800 metres.
- Recovery strategy
- The field is produced by pressure depletion.
- Transport
- The well stream from Gungne is processed at the Sleipner A facility. Sales gas is exported from Sleipner A via Gassled (Area D) to the market. Unstable condensate is transported in a pipeline to the Kårstø terminal.
- Status
- Gungne is in its late tail production phase. Only one well is currently on production, and there is no production from the well on the Gamma High structure.
