A field is one or several discoveries combined which the licensees have decided to develop, and for which the authorities have approved a plan for development and operation (PDO) or granted a PDO exemption.
Since production started in 1971, oil and gas have been produced from a total of 123 fields on the Norwegian shelf. At the end of 2023, 92 fields were in production: 67 in the North Sea, 23 in the Norwegian Sea and two in the Barents Sea. Four new field started production in 2023. A further fifteen new fields were under development at the end of the year.
Many of the producing fields are ageing, but some of them still have substantial remaining reserves. Moreover, the resource base in these fields increases when small discoveries in the area are tied into existing infrastructure.
Original and remaining reserves are given in million standard cubic metres of oil equivalents.
