We have granted Statoil consent to use a replacement pipeline between Heidrun and subsea structure E on the Heidrun field.

The replacement of the Heidrun P-E pipeline is part of a project to develop and extend the life of Heidrun Nordflanken by 20 years.

Heidrun

Heidrun is a field on Haltenbanken in the Norwegian Sea, 30 kilometres northeast of the Åsgard field. The water depth is 350 metres. Heidrun was discovered in 1985, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 1991. The field has been developed with a floating concrete tension-leg platform, installed over a subsea template with 56 well slots. Production started in 1995. The PDO for the Heidrun northern flank was approved in 2000. The northern part of the field is developed with subsea facilities.

The new pipeline will be installed in May/June 2018 and anticipated start-up is between July and September 2018.
