About the field
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
- Development
- Øst Frigg is a field in the central part of the North Sea, four kilometres east of the Frigg field. The water depth is 100 metres. Øst Frigg was discovered in 1973, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 1984. The field was developed with two subsea templates and a central manifold station tied to the Frigg field. The production started in 1988.
- Reservoir
- Øst Frigg produced gas from sandstone of Eocene age in the Frigg Formation. The reservoir is at a depth of 1900 metres and has excellent quality. The field contains two separate structures, which are part of the same pressure system as the Frigg field. Appraisal drilling in 2025 confirmed the presence of oil in the Frigg Formation.
- Recovery strategy
- The field was produced by pressure depletion.
- Transport
- Gas was transported in a pipeline from the manifold to the Frigg field (TCP2) for processing, and further via pipeline the Shell-Esso Gas and Liquids (SEGAL) terminal at St Fergus in the UK.
- Status
- Øst Frigg was shut down in 1997, and the subsea templates were removed in 2001. The field is being redeveloped as part of Hugin in the Yggdrasil area.
