Aker BP has commenced oil production from its Solveig Phase 2 development in the Norwegian North Sea. The project, delivered on schedule and within budget, adds approximately 39 million barrels of oil equivalent in recoverable resources to the Solveig field. This subsea development, located 15 kilometers south of the Edvard Grieg platform, is tied back through existing infrastructure and comprises three wells. It aims to extend plateau production from the Solveig field and efficiently utilize capacity on the Edvard Grieg platform. Key suppliers, including TechnipFMC for subsea systems, Moreld Apply for platform modifications, and Odfjell Drilling and Halliburton for drilling operations, collaborated with Aker BP on this project. Aker BP operates Solveig and Edvard Grieg with a 65% working interest, alongside partners OMV===OMV Norge AS (20%) and Harbour Energy Norge AS (15%). This marks the fifth Aker BP-operated project sanctioned in 2022 to come on stream.
