Tor
The Tor field lies in the Norwegian North Sea and was initially on stream from 1978 to 2015. A new PDO for the redevelopment of the field was approved in 2019, and the field is now developed with a subsea solution based on two seabed templates and a tieback to Ekofisk for processing and export. Production started again in 2020.
