HOUSTON, Aug. 15 -- Total SA's Dutch unit Total E&P Nederland has brought on stream L4G natural gas field off the Netherlands in the Dutch section of the North Sea, reported field partner Lundin Netherlands BV, the Dutch unit of Swedish oil firm Lundin Petroleum AB.
The single L4G subsea development well has a production potential of about 1 million cu m/day of gas, Lundin said.
A new deck extension has been built on the L4A receiving platform to accommodate L4G gas flow. From there, gas production will be exported to the Uithuizen terminal in Groningen province via existing facilities.
The field's entire gas output has already been sold to Gasunie Trade & Supply BV, a gas-trading venture of the Dutch state, Royal Dutch Shell PLC, and ExxonMobil Corp.
The L4G project is combined with the installation of a pipeline between the K6GT and the K6C platforms. This reengineering of the gas flows from the K6-L7 area permits an optimization of the gas production.
Total E&P Nederland, operator, holds a 55.66% interest in the field. Its partners are Energie Beheer Nederland BV 40% and Lundin 4.34%.
