The so-called Previously Produced Fields project involves the joint redevelopment of the Albuskjell, Vest Ekofisk, and Tommeliten Gamma fields, with recoverable gas condensate resources estimated at 90 to 120m barrels of oil equivalent.
The three fields were shut in before end-of-life in 1998 due to the decommissioning of infrastructure and limited processing capacity at Ekofisk.
The joint development concept includes 11 wells and four new subsea templates. All the wells will be tied back to the Ekofisk Complex via a shared multiphase pipeline, with first gas scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2028.
PS: Ekofisk was the first producing oilfield in Norway (1971)
The infrastructure on the Ekofisk Complex has been renewed or upgraded several times and is expected to be in operation for many years yet:
