Development

Berling is a field on the Halten Terrace in the Norwegian Sea, 20 kilometres west of the Åsgard field. Berling consists of two accumulations, Berling Garn and Berling Breiflabb. The water depth is 280 metres. Berling was discovered in 2018, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in June 2023. The development concept includes a subsea template with four slots tied-back to the Åsgard B facility.

Reservoir

Berling contains gas and condensate. The Berling Garn reservoir is in the Middle Jurassic Garn Formation. It is at a depth of 4100 metres and has high pressure and high temperature (HPHT). The reservoir is structurally complex and has varying reservoir quality. The Berling Breiflabb reservoir is in intra-Lange Formation turbidite sandstone of Late Cretaceous age at a depth of 3900 metres.

Recovery strategy

The field will be produced by pressure depletion.

Transport

The well stream will be transported by pipeline to Åsgard B for processing. Condensate will be transferred to Åsgard A and Åsgard C for storage and export by shuttle tankers to the market. The rich gas will be transported via the Åsgard Transport System (ÅTS) for further processing at the Kårstø terminal.

Status

The field is under development and the production is planned to start in 2028.
