Development

Verdande is a field in the Norwegian Sea, 10 kilometres north of the Norne field. The water depth is 380 metres. Verdande was discovered in 2017, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in June 2023. The development concept includes a subsea template with three production wells tied-back to the Norne floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO).

Reservoir

The reservoir contains oil and gas in sandstone of Early Cretaceous age in the Lange Formation. It is at a depth of about 3000 metres and has good quality.

Recovery strategy

The field will be produced by pressure depletion.

Transport

The gas will be exported via the Åsgard Transport System (ÅTS) to the terminal at Kårstø. Oil and condensate will be offloaded from the Norne FPSO to shuttle tankers.

Status

The field is under development, and the production is planned to start in 2025.
