About the field
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
- Development
- Morvin is a field in the Norwegian Sea, 15 kilometres west of the Åsgard field. The water depth is 360 metres. Morvin was discovered in 2001, and the plan for development and production (PDO) was approved in 2008. The field is developed with two 4-slot subsea templates, tied to the Åsgard B facility. The production started in 2010.
- Reservoir
- Morvin produces gas and oil from Jurassic sandstone in the Tilje, Tofte, Ile, Garn and Spekk Formations. The reservoirs are in a rotated and tilted fault block at depths of 4500-4700 metres. They have high pressure and high temperature (HPHT).
- Recovery strategy
- The field is produced by pressure depletion.
- Transport
- The well stream from Morvin is transported by a heated, 20-kilometre pipeline to the Åsgard B facility for processing. The condensate is separated from the gas and stabilised before being shipped together with condensate from the Åsgard field. The condensate is sold as oil. The rich gas is transported via the Åsgard Transport System (ÅTS) to the Kårstø terminal for separation of the natural gas liquids (NGL). The dry gas is transported from Kårstø to continental Europe via the Europipe II pipeline.
- Status
- Drilling of new wells on Morvin is technically and economically challenging. The focus is therefore to ensure continued production from the existing wells, for example by conducting well interventions.
