The Petroleum Safety Authority Norway (PSA) has granted ConocoPhillips consent to use the Rowan Norway mobile drilling facility for plugging and abandonment of wells at Ekofisk 2/4 B.
Ekofisk is an oil field lying in 70-75m of water in the southern North Sea. The field was produced to tankers until a concrete storage tank was installed in 1973. Since then, the field has been further developed with many facilities, including riser facilities for associated fields and export pipelines.
The operation is scheduled to start this month.
Rowan Norway is a jackup drilling facility built in 2011 at Keppel Fels in Singapore. It is registered in Panama and classified by DnV GL.
The PSA has now granted ConocoPhillips consent in accordance with the application.
