Development

Hyme is a field in the southern part of the Norwegian Sea, 19 kilometres northeast of the Njord field. The water depth is 250 metres. Hyme was discovered in 2009, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 2011. The field is developed with a subsea template including one production well and one water injection well. Hyme is connected to the Njord A facility. Production started in 2013.

Reservoir

Hyme produces oil and gas from sandstone of Early and Middle Jurassic age in the Tilje and Ile Formations. The reservoir lies at a depth of 2,150 metres and has good quality.

Recovery strategy

The field is produced with pressure support from seawater injection. The production well is equipped with gas lift.

Transport

The well stream is transported to the Njord field and processed on the Njord A platform. The Njord facilities are used for both oil and gas export.

Status

Production from Hyme stopped temporarily in 2016 when the Njord A facility was shut down and towed to land for reinforcement and modifications. Hyme resumed production again in April 2023.
