The Petroleum Safety Authority of Norway (PSA) has granted consent to ExxonMobil to use Island Frontier and Island Wellserver for light well intervention at the Sigyn field, offshore Norway.
The Sigyn field is in production license 072, where ExxonMobil E&P Norway is the operator. The field contains gas, condensate and light oil. Production on the field began in 2002.
Sigyn has been developed using a subsea well template. The well stream is transported to the Sleipner A facility 12km northwest of the well template. The field is 222km west of Stavanger and the water depth in the area in 70m.
ExxonMobil has received consent to use the two mobile drilling facilities for undertaking light well intervention at Sigyn. The activities are scheduled to start in August and last to the end of 2016. It is provisionally uncertain as to which facility will be used for the well intervention, since this depends on optimizing the work schedules for the two facilities.
The period may also be extended into 2017 if the availability of the facilities so dictates.
The two facilities are owned by Island Offshore, whose head offices are in Ulsteinvik.
Island Frontier was built in 2004 at the Søviknes yard. It is registered in Norway and classified by DNV GL.
Island Wellserver was built in 2008 at the Aker Langsten yard. It is registered in Norway and classified by DNV GL.
