Aker BP started production at the Frosk field development in the Alvheim area of the North Sea
The field, an injectite sandstone reservoir in North Sea licenses PL340 and PL 869 about 25 km southwest of the Alvheim FPSO, will be developed via tieback to existing Bøyla and Alvheim subsea infrastructure. Production started only 18 months after the Plan for Development and Operation (PDO) was submitted (OGJ Online, Sept. 27, 2021).
Initial investment at Frosk was about $230 million. Recoverable reserves are estimated at about 10 MMboe.
Frosk is the first of three new subsea tie-back projects to the Alvheim FPSO, with Kobra East and Gekko planned to come onstream early 2024 and Tyrving expected onstream in 2025.
Aker BP is operator at Frosk (80%) with partner Vår Energi AS (20%).
