Houston, November 9 - Neftegaz.RU. US major ConocoPhillips has submitted the $1.5 billion development plan of the Tommeliten Alpha field in the North Sea to the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy and the UK Oil & Gas Authority.
Tommeliten Alpha is a gas & condensate field located at a water depth of 75 m, approximately 25 km south-west of the Ekofisk field in the southern part of the Norwegian North Sea.
