The field is tied back to the Alvheim floating production storage and offloading vessel’s (FPSO) existing infrastructure through a 28km pipeline.
The company also completed installation of the Nymo-built Boa extension manifold on the seafloor as part of the oil recovery project.
Boa is a part of the IOR-project on Alvheim and production is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2016.
The Bøyla field is developed with a subsea installation consisting of two horizontal production wells and one water injection well.
