With an estimated operational life of 15 years, the Tyrving field comprises two petroleum deposits, Trell and Trine, as well as the prospect Trell Nord. As per estimates, the Tyrving field holds recoverable resources of around 25 million barrels of oil equivalent.
With an expected development cost in the region of $700m (NKr6bn), the project is due to be commissioned in Q1 2025.
The Tyrving project will leverage the planned extended lifetime for the Alvheim field, resulting in increased production, and reducing unit costs and CO₂ emissions.
The development will involve the tieback of three wells to existing infrastructure and two new subsea installations on the East Kameleon, and further onto the Alvheim floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit.
