The Norne field development overview
The Norne field is the largest discovery on the Norwegian continental shelf in more than a decade with recoverable oil reserves of 450 Million bbl. Reservoir drive mechanism will be a combination of gas and water reinjection. The largest monohull production ship in the world will be built to develop the field. To improve the project economics and company performance a clear objective was established to reduce investments costs by 25--30% and a time from find to first oil of 5--6 years. The paper will describe both the concept development chosen to achieve these goals and the method of working used to find a simple robust solution to meet uncertainties in project development, reservoir performance and regional potential while maintaining a fast track approach.
