Description

Development Volve is a field in the central part of the North Sea, five 25.04.2019
kilometres north of the Sleipner Øst field. The water depth is 80
metres. Volve was discovered in 1993, and the plan for
development and operation (PDO) was approved in 2005. The
field was developed with a jack-up processing and drilling
facility. The vessel "Navion Saga" was used for storing stabilised
oil. Production started in 2008.
Reservoir Volve produced oil from sandstone of Middle Jurassic age in the 25.04.2019
Hugin Formation. The reservoir is at a depth of 2,700-3,100
metres. The western part of the structure is heavily faulted and
communication across the faults is uncertain.
Recovery The field was produced with water injection for pressure 16.03.2018
support.
Transport The oil was exported by tankers and the rich gas was 16.03.2018
transported to the Sleipner A facility for further export.
Status A decommissioning plan was submitted in 2014. The field was 25.04.2019
shut down in 2016, and the disposal process was completed in
2018.
