Johan Sverdrup is the third largest oil field on the Norwegian continental shelf, and a major supplier of energy to Europe. The entire field is now on stream, and accounts for roughly a third of Norway's oil production. It also has some of the lowest CO2 emissions of any oil field in the world.
The Norwegian Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Terje Aasland, officially opened Johan Sverdrup Phase 2 on 13 February, on board the P2 platform.
âJohan Sverdrup is a major contributor to secure energy supplies to Europe,â he said. âWith 90 percent Norwegian content, the project has helped secure many jobs nationwide, and the development has meant a lot to the supply industry in a difficult period,â he added.
The Johan Sverdrup phase 2 project consists of a new platform, five new subsea systems, 28 new wells, a new module for the existing riser platform, and facilities for power to the Utsira High. The project was delivered on time and on budget despite the corona epidemic.
