Lundin is on track to start up tohe Edward Grieg field this month after Norway's Petroleum Safety have the firm the green light for start-up and operation.
The Edvard Grieg field is 35km of the Grane and Balder fields in 110m water depth.
The development consists of a platform with a steel jacket and a separate jack-up rig for drilling and completion.
Start-up has remained on track for Q4 this year, despite a delay to the topsides modules installation earlier this year, but Lundin did revise down its full year production guidance as a result of the delay and a revised production forecast on the Bynhild subsea tieback.
In August, Lundin reported that it had drilled its latest successful appraisal well on the 185.8 MMboe gross reserves field to help delineate the southeastern part of the field to optimize drainage.
The field is in Block 16/1 in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea. It was discovered in 2007, and Lundin holds 50% interest and is operator with partners OMV (20%), Wintershall (15%), and Statoil (15%). The reservoir is at 1900m depth below the seabed. The facilities were built by Kvaener at Verdal (jacket) and Stord (topsides) will comprise 11 oil production wells and four water injection wells. The field lifetime is expected to be about 30 years.
Oil will be exported to the Grane oil pipeline with gas exported via the SAGE pipeline to the UK.
