Norwegian state-owned energy giant Equinor has kicked off the next phase of its subsea compression quest in the Norwegian Sea to up the gas recovery ante at its asset off the coast of Norway.
Partners in the Åsgard license – encompassing Equinor (operator with 35,01%), Petoro (34,53%), Vår Energi (22,65%), and TotalEnergies EP Norge (7,81%) – and the Mikkel license – consisting of Equinor (operator with 43,97%), Vår Energi (48,38%), and Repsol Norge (7,65%) – have started phase 2 of Åsgard subsea compression in the Norwegian Sea to help maintain production from the field by increasing the pressure in pipelines between the wells and the Åsgard B platform.
