该油田与诺恩FPSO相连。Verdande油田拥有3600万桶石油储量，有助于将诺恩的生产延长至2030年以后。

“我非常自豪，在与我们的许可合作伙伴和供应商的紧密合作下，我们按计划完成了Verdande项目，距离双方做出投资决定不到三年。像这样快速且经济高效的油田开发——通过巧妙利用现有基础设施实现小型油气发现——对于进一步开发挪威大陆架至关重要，”Equinor项目开发高级副总裁Trond Bokn表示。

Verdande 项目的投资额略高于 60 亿挪威克朗，该项目对挪威供应商行业产生了重大的连锁反应。

挪威大陆架正在发生变化，目前开发的许多油田都是规模较小的海底油田，通过现有基础设施进行连接。这种方式既降低了成本，也减少了对环境的影响。

“迄今为止，我们已将六个海底油田与诺恩FPSO（浮式生产储卸油船）连接起来，包括9月份投产的安德瓦雷油田，以及现在的韦尔丹德油田。韦尔丹德油田有助于延长诺恩油田的使用寿命，提升其价值创造和连锁效应。诺恩油田的运营与900多名全职员工息息相关。通过开发现有油田周围的小型新发现，我们最大限度地提高了资源回收率，并延长了现有基础设施的使用寿命。这既是良好的资源管理，也是良好的社会经济效益。”Equinor公司勘探与生产北部高级副总裁格雷特·B·哈兰德表示。

Verdande油田主要为油田，伴生少量天然气。它包括Cape Vulture和Alve Nord East两个油藏，分别于2017年和2020年得到证实。该油田采用三口井进行开发，井口呈模板式分布，并通过管道与Norne油田相连。

The field is tied back to the Norne FPSO. With reserves of 36 million bbls of oil, Verdande helps extend Norne’s production beyond 2030.

“I am proud that, in close collaboration with our licence partners and suppliers, we have delivered the Verdande project on schedule, less than three years after the partnership made the investment decision. Fast and cost-efficient field developments like this – where smaller discoveries are realised through smart use of existing infrastructure – are key to further developing the Norwegian continental shelf,” says Trond Bokn, senior vice president for project development at Equinor.

Investments in Verdande amount to just over NOK 6 billion, and the project has generated significant ripple effects for the Norwegian supplier industry.

The Norwegian continental shelf is changing, and many of the fields being developed are smaller subsea fields tied back to existing infrastructure. This approach reduces both costs and environmental footprint.

“So far, we have tied six subsea fields back to the Norne FPSO, including Andvare, which started up in September, and now Verdande. Verdande helps extend the lifetime, value creation and ripple effects from Norne operations. More than 900 full-time equivalents are linked to Norne operations. By developing smaller discoveries around established fields, we maximise resource recovery and extend the lifetime of existing infrastructure. This is good resource management and good socioeconomics,” says Grete B. Haaland, senior vice president for Exploration and Production North at Equinor.

Verdande is primarily an oil field with some associated gas. It comprises the Cape Vulture and Alve Nord East discoveries, proven in 2017 and 2020 respectively. The field has been developed with three wells in a template tied back to the Norne field via a pipeline.
