Wintershall submits PDO for Nova field
Wintershall (35%), together with partners Capricorn (20%), Spirit Energy (20%), Edison (15%) and DEA (10%), has submitted a plan for development and operation (PDO) for its operated North Sea Nova field (formerly named Skarfjell) to the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy. The news comes on the back of the successful development of Wintershall’s Maria field, which the company brought into production in December 2017. This is the first PDO on the Norwegian Continental Shelf to be submitted in 2018.
Principally located in production license PL 418, Nova will be developed as a subsea tie-back connecting two templates to the nearby Gjøa platform for processing and export. Gjøa will also provide lift gas to the field and water injection for pressure support. Power for the Nova field comes via the Gjøa platform from shore.
Recoverable reserves are estimated around 80mn boe, of which the majority is oil. Start-up is planned in 2021.
