Equinor has been granted consent by the Petroleum Safety Authority Norway for life extensions for the Heimdal infrastructure, associated pipelines, and wells, until Jan. 1, 2024.
Heimdal field, in the central part of the North Sea in water depth of 120 m, was discovered in 1972. The plan for development and operation was approved in 1981. The field was developed with an integrated drilling, production, and accommodation facility with a steel jacket (HMP1). Production started in 1985.
Heimdal is now mainly used as a gas processing center for other tied-in fields.
