Neptune Energy and partners started production from the Gjøa P1 development in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea.
Gjøa P1 has been developed via a new subsea template and tied back to existing infrastructure on Gjøa field (OGJ Online, Dec. 20, 2020). It is a two well development with one oil and one gas producer. The gas well came onstream on Feb. 22, and the oil well is planned to start up later this week.
The semisubmersible Gjøa production unit is electrified with hydropower from shore and has one of the lowest CO2 footprints per produced boe on the Norwegian Shelf.
Startup of Gjøa P1 increases total remaining developed reserves at Gjøa by 30%. Gjøa is now set to produce over 100 MMboe more than was estimated when production began in 2010.
Neptune Energy is operator in Gjøa (30%) with partners Petoro AS (30%), Wintershall Dea Norge AS (28%), and OKEA (12%).
