Tommeliten Alpha discovery is located in Block 1/9-1.
The reservoir contains gas and condensate in chalk in the Paleocene Ekofisk Formation and Upper Cretaceous Tor Formation.
The Tommeliten Alpha was discovered by the exploratory well 1/9-1 in 1977.
Another wildcat well, 1/9-1 R, was spud in 1987 to prove the presence of gas and condensate in the field.
The resource potential for the Tommeliten Alpha field is estimated to be in the range of 80-180 million barrels of oil equivalent, mainly comprising gas condensate.
ConocoPhillips operates the field with a 28.3% working interest.
The other partners in the field are
- Polish PGNiG (42.4%)
- French TotalEnergies (20.2%)
- Italy’s Eni’s Vaar Energi (9.1%)
The production start-up is scheduled for 2024.
