Wintershall Dea and partners submitted an updated plan for development and operation (PDO) to the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy for second phase development of Maria field in the Norwegian Sea. This project is expected to add 22 MMboe to total field reserves and extend the field life to 2040.
The $400-million Maria Phase 2 project involves installation of a new six-slot template in the southern part of the field. The template will accommodate two producing wells and one water injector for pressure support. The three spare slots will be available for future development of the field.
Maria field, on Haltenbanken 200 km off the coast of Norway and 25 km east of Kristin field, was discovered in 2010. The original PDO was approved in 2015, and production began in 2017.
The field is developed as a subsea tie-back with two templates. There are five producers and two water injectors on the field. Gas for gas lift is supplied from Åsgard B via Tyrihans field. Water injection is supplied from Heidrun. Production goes to the Kristin platform. Processed oil is sent to Åsgard field for storage and export. Gas is exported via the Åsgard transport system to Kårstø.
Wintershall Dea is operator of Maria field (50%) with partners Petoro AS (30%) and Sval Energi AS (20%).
