LONDON--North Sea-focused Faroe Petroleum PLC (FPM.LN) said
Wednesday that its partners in the Oda field, previously called the
Butch field have submitted a project development plan to the
Norwegian government for approval.
The 15% Faroe-owned Oda field was discovered in 2011, in the
Norwegian North Sea, in shallow water about 13 kilometers east of
the 20% Faroe-owned producing Ula field.
The development plan proposes two production wells and one water
injection well at the field that will tie back to the Ula
platform.
Oil will be transported through the Norpipe system to the
Teesside Terminal in the U.K., while the gas will be sold at the
platform to Ula for re-injection into the Ula reservoir to improve
recovery.
Production from the Oselvar operations will cease to allow Oda
production to commence and the Oselvar owners will be compensated
accordingly.
The Oda field is 40%-owned and operated by Centrica PLC
(CNA.LN), 30%-owned by Suncor Energy Inc. (SU), and 15%-owned by
Aker BP ASA (AKERBP.OS). The project is forecast to cost 5.4
billion Norwegian kroner ($522 million) to develop and is scheduled
to start in 2019.
Faroe's shares were up 0.35% at 17.5 pence, resulting in a
market capitalization of 261 million pounds, or $325 million.
