TotalEnergies curtails production at Tyra II
- Tyra II production curtailment is a result of an electrical breaker failure.
- Tyra hub is now expected to produce about half of previous first-quarter 2025 guided output
TotalEnergies curtailed production from the Tyra Redevelopment project (Tyra II) and has reduced quarterly production guidance following an equipment issue.
The Tyra hub, which produced 15,100 boe/d in February, is now expected to produce 8,000 – 10,000 boe/d during first-quarter 2025 compared with previous guidance of 17,000–20,000 boe/d, according to a Mar. 10 press release from partner BlueNord ASA.
The production curtailment is a result of a breaker failure in the electrical high-voltage system, temporarily cutting parts of the power supply. Based on the expected delivery time for the necessary replacement parts, full operational capacity is expected to be reached within the next 4 weeks. Gas export will continue in the interim period from Harald field (OGJ Online, Oct. 29, 2024).
Tyra II is in the Danish North Sea, 225 km west of the coast of Esbjerg. It is the central hub for Danish natural gas production in the North Sea and processes gas from Tyra field, surrounding satellites, and Dan field. Gas from the Tyra hub is delivered to Europe through two export pipelines to Nybro in Denmark and Den Helder in the Netherlands (OGJ Online, May 6, 2024).
TotalEnergies operates Tyra field on behalf of Danish Underground Consortium, a partnership between TotalEnergies (43.2%), BlueNord (36.8%) and Nordsøfonden (20%).
