PRODUCTION FROM THE FIELD

Development

Fram H-Nord is a field just north of the Fram field in the northern part of the North Sea. The water depth is 360 metres. Fram H-Nord was discovered in 2007, and the authorities granted an exemption from the plan for development and operation (PDO) requirement in 2013. The field is developed with a two-branch multilateral (MLT) well from a 4-slot template. Production started in 2014. The Byrding field is also drilled from the Fram H-Nord template.

Reservoir

Fram H-Nord produces oil and gas from turbiditic sandstone of Late Jurassic age in the Heather Formation. The reservoir lies at a depth of 2,950 metres and has good quality.

Recovery strategy

The field is produced by pressure depletion.

Transport

The well stream is routed through a template on Fram Vest and further to the Troll C facility for processing. The oil is transported further by the Troll Oil Pipeline II to the Mongstad terminal, and the gas is exported via the Troll A platform to the Kollsnes terminal.

Status

Fram H-Nord has produced below expectations and has been shut-in for a while because of severe problems with the well stream (slugging). Slugging is manageable at present, and production started again in August 2022.
