Duva oil and gas field

Duva is a field in the northern part of the North Sea, 6 km northeast of the Gjøa field.
Owners:

• PGNiG Upstream Norway AS (30%),
• Neptune Energy Norge AS (30%),
• Idemitsu Petroleum Norge AS (30%)
• Sval Energi AS (10%)

Duva was discovered in 2016, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 2019.
The plan for development and operation also permits the drilling of an additional oil production well.

The water depth is 350 metres. 3 production wells will be drilled in the field:

• 2 producing crude oil
• 1 producing natural gas.

With recoverable reserves of 88 million barrels of oil equivalent (BOE), the field is expected to produce around 30 000 boepd at its peak.

Duva will be developed with a 4-slot subsea template with 2 to 3 oil production wells and 1 gas production well tied-back to the Gjøa platform.

Recovery strategy: The field will be produced by pressure depletion and gas expansion in the gas cap.

Transport: The well stream will be routed to the Gjøa platform for processing and export. The oil will be transported further through the Troll Oil Pipeline II to the Mongstad terminal, and the gas will be exported via the Far North Liquids and Associated Gas System (FLAGS) pipeline to St Fergus in the UK.

Status: The field is under development, and production is scheduled to start in early 2021.
