Due to an electric fault in the high voltage drive motor for one of the gas export compressors, the Alvheim FPSO will be running at reduced production for a period of approximately four weeks while the motor is being replaced.
Currently, production is optimized within the capacity of the other gas export compressor. It is estimated that Det norske’s average 2015 production will be reduced from about 62,000 boe/d to about 59000 – 60000 boe/d due to this operational interruption. The situation does not impact the reserves of the fields connected to the Alvheim FPSO or Det norske’s expected production for 2016.
Det norske oljeselskap is the operator of the Alvheim FPSO with 65% working interest.
