Skarv Satellite Project
Aker BP (operator) and partners have made investment decisions for three separate developments in the Skarv area. The plans for development and operations were submitted to the Minister of Petroleum and Energy at 16 December
The development projects, coordinated by the Skarv Satellite Project (SSP), consist of the gas and condensate discoveries Alve Nord, Idun Nord and Ørn. Each of the developments comprises of a 4-slot template and two wells, subsea tied back to the Skarv FPSO, located in the northern part of the Norwegian Sea.
The development of the three discoveries is coordinated by one project team, to reduce costs through common infrastructure and pull synergies across the deliveries. The Skarv Satellites Project enables future growth by strengthening current infrastructure, increases the flexibility and prolongs estimated production period for Skarv FPSO.
The total resources to be unlocked by the project is estimated to approximately million barrels of oil equivalents (mmboe), predominantly gas.
The total investment cost is estimated at approximately NOK 16,6 billion gross and first gas is planned in the th

SKARV
Development
Skarv is a field in the northern part of the Norwegian Sea, 35 kilometres southwest of the Norne field. The water depth is metres. Skarv was discovered in , and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in The plan also included the development of the Idun deposit. The production started in The field has been developed further with the development of the Ærfugl and Gråsel deposits, which came into production in and , respectively. The development concept includes five subsea templates tied-back to a production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO).Reservoir
Skarv produces gas and oil from Lower and Middle Jurassic sandstone in the Tilje, Ile and Garn Formations. The Garn Formation has good reservoir quality, while the Tilje Formation has relatively poor quality. The reservoirs are divided into several fault segments and are at depths of metres. The reservoir in Ærfugl contains gas and condensate in sandstone of Late Cretaceous age in the Lysing Formation. It is at a depth of metres and has good quality. The Gråsel reservoir contains gas and oil in sandstone of Late Cretaceous age in the Lange Formation.Recovery strategy

Skarv
Skarv is a field in the nordlig part of the Norwegian Sea. The field has been developed with a floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO) and has one of the world&#;s largest offshore gas processing plants on this type of facility. The ambition for the Skarv area estend to and beyond.
Skarv was discovered in , and the program for development and operation (PDO) was approved in Production start-up occured on New Year&#;s Eve in Several deposits and fields are connected to the Skarv FPSO, including Skarv, Idun, Ærfugl and Gråsel.
The start-up for Ærfugl phase 1 in and phase 2 in contributed significantly to the increase of production from Skarv to over thousand barrels per day. In addition, production from Ærfugl contributed to reducing CO2-emissions per barrel produced from Skarv FPSO bygd ca 30 per cent from , and extended the lifetime of Skarv.
