Mikkel Conventional Gas Field Profile

Location

The Mikkel Conventional Gas Field is situated in the eastern part of the Norwegian Sea, approximately 30 kilometres north of the Draugen field. It is located in blocks 6407/6P (PL 092) and 6407/5P (PL 121).

Water Depth

The field is in shallow water, with a depth of 220 metres (approximately 748 feet).

Operators and Ownership

The Mikkel field is operated by Equinor Energy AS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Equinor ASA. The field is owned by a consortium that includes Eni SpA, Equinor Energy AS, HitecVision, and Repsol SA.

Production History and Status

The Mikkel field has been in production and has recovered 88.91% of its total recoverable reserves as of the latest data. Peak production was achieved in 2007. Currently, the field accounts for approximately 1% of Norway's daily gas output.

Production Forecast

Initially, production was expected to continue until the field reaches its economic limit in 2044. However, more recent estimates suggest that the current expected production profile is estimated up to 2034, with the authorities anticipating an application for extended operation prior to this date.

Geographical and Technical Details

The field is a conventional gas field, meaning it does not involve the extraction of oil but focuses solely on natural gas. It is located in a relatively shallow water environment, which facilitates easier extraction and maintenance operations.

Operator Details

Equinor Energy AS, the operator of the Mikkel field, is headquartered in Stavanger, Norway. Equinor Energy is involved in oil and gas exploration, production, refining, and transportation. The company also engages in the production of wind power and supplies raw materials for various industries, including manufacturing of synthetic fabrics, plastics, asphalt, cosmetics, and medicines.
