ConocoPhillips Skandinavia AS received approval from the UK and Norway authorities for development and operation of Tommeliten A gas and condensate field in the North Sea.

Tommeliten A is a subsea development that involves two subsea templates which can hold up to 12 production wells. The field infrastructure will be tied back to the ConocoPhillips-operated Ekofisk complex.

The project involves installation of a processing module at the Ekofisk complex to handle additional production from Tommeliten A field.

In November 2021, ConocoPhillips submitted a plan for the development and operation of the field (OGJ Online, Nov. 8, 2021). The field’s development will help maintain the gas supply from the Ekofisk area from the middle of this decade.

Total capital expenditure associated with the project is estimated at NOK 13 billion. The field is estimated to hold 80-180 MMboe, primarily comprising gas condensate. Production is expected to begin in 2024.
