CGG, TGS Win OBN Seismic Survey Work Offshore Norway
in the North Sea, will span an additional 1,201 square kilometer area under receivers (AUR) to increase the contiguous multi-client OBN coverage in the region to 3,278 square kilometers AUR, CGG said.The survey area covers a mature part of the North Sea that includes the Sleipner East, Sleipner West, Gina Krog, Volve, and Utgard fields, as well as surrounding infrastructure-led exploration (ILX) areas for potential tiebacks to existing infrastructure. Current production hubs in the area enable quick transport of produced hydrocarbons, including significant volumes of gas, to the European market
Equinor Sanctions Sleipner Field Electrification
the Sleipner field in the North Sea, offshore Norway.Equinor, with its partners Vår Energi, LOTOS and KUFPEC on Tuesday filed a revised plan for development and operation to the authorities.The solution for the Sleipner field center will entail laying a new power cable from Sleipner to the Gina Krog platform, which will be tied into the area solution for power from shore on the Utsira High. During periods when the power need is greater than the capacity in the area solution, Sleipner will use gas turbines, like they do today, to cover the power need.Anders Opedal, Equinor’s Executive

Johan Sverdrup Phase 2 Plan Approved
to start in November this year, Equinor said.The Johan Sverdrup field is powered from shore, placing it among the oil and gas fields with the lowest CO2 emissions in the world. In the second phase the field will also supply shore power to other fields on the Utsira High, including the Edvard Grieg, Gina Krog and Ivar Aasen fields.Johan Sverdrup Phase 2 (Image: Equinor
Efficient Cable Installation Slashes Emissions at Johan Sverdrup
in the autumn of 2018, the Johan Sverdrup field should be ready to be powered with electricity from shore.After the start-up of the second phase of the development in 2022, the Johan Sverdrup field will also enable power from shore to reach the remaining fields on the Utsira High – Edvard Grieg, Gina Krog and Ivar Aasen
