TotalEnergies will make repairs to equipment on the Tyra offshore gas installation hub (Tyra II) that will impact the timing of the ramp-up to maximum technical capacity.
The intermediate pressure (IP) gas compressor temporarily impacted the commissioning of the redevelopment project during the ramp-up and testing period. An investigation confirms that the technical issue relates to the transformer delivering power to the IP gas compressor.
TotalEnergies expects to restart gas export from Tyra II in July and for exported volumes to increase through this year's third quarter, with full technical capacity expected to be reached in fourth-quarter 2024.
Tyra II is in the Danish North Sea, 225 km west of the coast of Esbjerg. It is the central hub for Danish natural gas production in the North Sea and processes gas from Tyra field, surrounding satellites, and Dan field. Gas from the Tyra hub is delivered to Europe through two export pipelines to Nybro in Denmark and Den Helder in the Netherlands. Tyra II will decrease field opex and emissions intensity, and at the same time extend its field life by 25 years, only constrained by the 2042 license expiry (OGJ Online, Apr. 9, 2024).
TotalEnergies operates Tyra field on behalf of Danish Underground Consortium, a partnership between TotalEnergies (43.2%), BlueNord (36.8%) and Nordsøfonden (20%).
