Subsea 7’s FEED study for the NOA Fulla project would help in finalising the technical definition of the proposed development prior to making the final investment decision in late 2022.

The NOA Fulla field is located in the southern part of the Krafla, Fulla, and North of Alvheim (NOAKA) area situated between Oseberg and Alvheim in the North Sea.
