Gina Krog is developed with a seabed production facility and a storage ship for oil. |
Gina Krog is about 30km northwest of Sleipner. The discovery will be developed to the Sleipner field.
The field has been developed with a production facility resting on the seabed and an oil storage ship, in water depths of 110-120m. The oil will be exported via buoy loaders, and the rich gas will be sent to the Sleipner A platform for final processing.
Gas for gas injection will be imported from Zeepipe 2A (Gassled). The field will be tied in to a joint solution with power supply from shore for the Utsira High.
The recoverable reserves for Gina Krog are 16.8 MMcm, 11.8 Bcm of gas and 3.2 million tonne of NGL. Investment costs are expected to reach some US$3.7 billion (NOK 30.9 billion), which is well within the range of uncertainty listed in the plan for development and operation (PDO).
Statoil is the operator in production licenses 029 B, 029 C, 048 and 303, where Gina Krog lies with 58.7% stake. Parnters include Total E&P Norge (15%), KUFPEC Norway (15%), PNGiG Upstream Norway (8%), and Aker BP (3.3%)
