Aker BP ASA started oil production from the Solveig Phase 2 development in production license (PL) 359 in the North Sea.

Solveig field lies about 15 km south of the Edvard Grieg platform. The project is a subsea tieback to Edvard Grieg through existing infrastructure. It comprises three wells targeting both new and existing reservoir segments and will help extend plateau production from the field while making efficient use of available capacity on the Edvard Grieg platform.

Phase 2 added about 39 MMboe in recoverable resources to the field and is the fifth Aker BP-operated project sanctioned in 2022 that has come on stream.

TechnipFMC delivered the subsea systems and Moreld Apply performed modifications on the platform. Odfjell Drilling and Halliburton performed drilling operations through Aker BP’s drilling and wells alliance.

Aker BP is operator of (PL) 359 (65%) with partners OMV Norge AS (20%) and Harbour Energy Norge AS (15%).
