HOUSTON, Mar. 7�Dansk Undergrunds Consortium has submitted a 4.2 billion Danish kroner ($520 million) plan for further development of Halfdan field off Denmark.
A.P. Møller company Mærsk Olie og Gas AS, Royal Dutch/Shell Group, and Texaco Inc. are partners in the DUC.
The planned Phase 3 development includes drilling of 11 wells with 3,000-5,000 m horizontal sections for production of oil and 11 related water injection wells. Also, the central platform will be extended with a facility for processing and compression of gas and a facility for processing of produced water.
In addition, an accommodation platform and a flaring platform, to be bridge-connected to the central platform, will be installed.
A.P. Møller expects overall production from the field to increase to 100,000 b/d in 2005. It did not reveal current production. Halfdan was discovered in 1999.
