Wintershall Dea公司8月23日宣布，其在挪威海运营的Dvalin气田已恢复生产。

由于生产流中汞含量过高，该油田自 2020 年以来一直处于关闭状态。挪威 Nyhamna 和 Tjeldbergodden 的陆上加工设施现已安装除汞装置。

“该团队努力克服该领域的技术挑战，”Wintershall Dea Norge 董事总经理 Michael Zechner 在新闻稿中表示。

Dvalin 生产至附近约 15 公里外的 Heidrun 平台。它采用单一海底模板，拥有四口生产井，目标可采储量为 113 MMboe，其中大部分为天然气。

Dvalin 油田水深 340 m 至 400 m，加上目前正在开发的 Dvalin North 油田的产量，预计到 2038 年都能生产。Dvalin North 的海底回接开发计划于 6 月获得批准。

Wintershall Dea 代表合作伙伴Petoro（持股 35%）和Sval Energi（持股 10%）经营 Dvalin 油田，持股 55%。

Wintershall Dea’s operated Dvalin gas field in the Norwegian Sea has resumed production, the company announced on Aug. 23.

The field had been shut-in since 2020 due to high levels of mercury in the production stream. Mercury removal units have now been installed at the onshore processing facilities at Nyhamna and Tjeldbergodden in Norway.

“The team has worked hard to overcome technical challenges in the field,” Michael Zechner, Wintershall Dea Norge managing director, said in a news release.

Dvalin produces to the nearby Heidrun platform about 15 km away. It features a single subsea template with four production wells and targets recoverable reserves of 113 MMboe, with the majority gas.

The Dvalin Field, in 340 m to 400 m water depth, is expected to produce through 2038 with the addition of production from the Dvalin North Field, which is currently being developed. The subsea tieback development plan for Dvalin North was approved in June.

Wintershall Dea operates the Dvalin Field with a 55% share on behalf of partners Petoro with 35% and Sval Energi with 10%.
