Development

Hugin Satellites is a field in the Yggdrasil area in the central North Sea, 20 kilometres east of the Frigg field. The water depth is 120 metres. Hugin Satellites consists of the discoveries Rind and Langfjellet as well as the shut-down Frøy field. These three deposits, together with Frigg Gamma Delta, were included in the plan for development and operation (PDO) for Hugin, which was approved in 2023. In 2026, Hugin Satellites was separated and established as a separate field. The development concept includes a normally unmanned facility at Frøy, Hugin B, as well as subsea templates tied back to Hugin A at the Hugin field.

Reservoir

The reservoirs contain oil and gas in sandstone of Middle Jurassic age in the Hugin Formation and in the Upper Triassic Statfjord Group at a depth of 3500 metres. The reservoirs are geologically complex and have varying reservoir and fluid properties.

Recovery strategy

The field will be produced by pressure support by water injection.

Transport

The gas will be exported through a pipeline from Hugin A to Statpipe and the Kårstø terminal. The oil will be exported through pipeline from Hugin A to the Grane oil pipeline and further to the Sture terminal.

Status

The field is under development. The development of Hugin Satellites is coordinated with the development of the Hugin, Fulla and Munin fields in the Yggdrasil area. The production is planned to start in 2027.
