2021年6月向石油和能源部提交KEG的开发和运营计划（PDO）时，目标是在2024年第一季度启动生产。Aker BP 首席执行官 Karl Johnny Hersvik 表示：“KEG 项目的执行是我们通过联盟模式所能实现的目标的一个极好的例子，我们与供应商作为一个团队，朝着共同的目标和共同的激励措施努力。”

“KEG 的成功投产也代表了阿尔夫海姆 (Alvheim) 历史的新篇章，该公司是挪威大陆架最具成本效益的石油和天然气生产商之一，其资源基础自投产以来已成倍增长， ”赫斯维克补充道。

除了比预计提前几个月开始 KEG 生产外，该项目已按照 80 亿挪威克朗的原始预算交付。“这确实是一个团队项目，联盟合作伙伴和战略供应商安全高效地交付产品，并不断寻求改进，”KEG 项目经理 Ronny 脜sbase 说道。KEG的开发就像一场真正的海底马拉松，油藏中总共钻了四口多分支井约42公里。钻井成本占该项目投资的主要部分。“KEG 的钻井性能是世界一流的。这对于“低预算、提前”交付的安全和成功做出了重大贡献。脜sbase 指出，该项目中其他交付线的交付也非常好。

KEG 开发项目包括许可证号为 203 的两个油田 Kobra East 和 Gekko。该油田的开发采用了与 Alvheim 油田 (Alvheim FPSO) 生产船相连的海底装置，该油田位于北海中部的挪威部分，靠近英国边境。KEG PDO 的可采储量估计约为 4000 万桶油当量。随着 KEG 投产，每桶二氧化碳排放量将显着减少，Alvheim FPSO 的石油产量将大幅增加。

“KEG 项目大大增加了 Alvheim FPSO 的现有产能，并将使用寿命延长至 2040 年。正在进行的 Tyrving 项目预计将于 2025 年投产，将进一步增加 FPSO 的产量，” Alvheim 总监 Ine Dolve 说道。“此次合作还看到了在该地区现有基础设施中增加更多发现的巨大机会，”多尔夫补充道。自 2008 年阿尔夫海姆投产以来，该地区已生产了近 6 亿桶油当量。

When submitting the plan for development and operation (PDO) for KEG to the ministry of petroleum and energy in June 2021, the target was start-up of production in the 1Q24. “The KEG project execution is a fantastic example of what we can achieve with the alliance model, working as one team with our suppliers towards a common goal and with shared incentives,” says Aker BP CEO, Karl Johnny Hersvik.

“The successful start-up of production from KEG also represents a new chapter in Alvheim’s proud history of being among the most cost-efficient oil and gas producers on the Norwegian shelf with a resource base that has multiplied since start-up,” Hersvik adds.

In addition to starting up the production from KEG several months earlier than estimated, the project has been delivered under the original budget of NOK eight billion. “This has really been a one team project where alliance partners and strategic suppliers have delivered safely and efficiently and with a continuous search for improvements,” says KEG project manager, Ronny Åsbø. The KEG development has involved a real marathon under the seabed, as about 42 km from a total of four multi-branch wells in the reservoir have been drilled. Drilling costs make up a major part of the investments in the project. “The drilling performance at KEG has been world class. This has contributed significantly to the safely and successful ‘below budget and ahead of schedule’ deliveries. There have as well been very good deliveries from the other delivery lines in the project” Åsbø points out.

The KEG development comprises the two discoveries Kobra East and Gekko in licence 203. The field has been developed with subsea installations connected to the production vessel on the Alvheim field (Alvheim FPSO), which is located in the Norwegian part of the central North Sea near the UK border. Recoverable reserves in KEG PDO are estimated at around 40 million boe. With KEG in production, CO2 emissions per barrel will be significantly reduced and oil production from the Alvheim FPSO substantially increased.

“The KEG project adds important volumes to the existing production capacity at Alvheim FPSO and will enable extended lifetime up to 2040. The ongoing Tyrving project, which is estimated to come on stream in 2025, will add further production to the FPSO,” says Alvheim Director, Ine Dolve. “The partnership also sees great opportunities for adding further discoveries to the existing infrastructure in the area,” adds Dolve. Since the start-up of production from Alvheim in 2008, nearly 600 million boe have been produced from the area.
