Byggve Gas Field
Skirne deposit

Byggve deposit
The Byggve field is located 16 km (9.9 mi) east of the Heimdal gas field and was discovered in 1991. and consists of Middle Jurassic sandstones of the Brent Group. Byggve deposit lies 2,900 metres (9,500 ft) deep.
Production
Production at Skirne and Byggve started in 2004. Expected project duration is 6 years and produce 140 million cubic feet per day (4.0×10 m/d) of gas and 7,000 barrels per day (1,100 m/d) of condensate.
The fields are interconnected through two single-well tie-backs and transported to treatment facilities at Heimdal Gas Center, from which the processed gas is then exported to the United Kingdom through the Vesterled pipeline.
Total investment including the Vale satellite has been nearly 4 billion NOK which also included modifications on Heimdal, drilling operations, subsea templates and pipelines.
