In the Norwegian Sea, Equinor has commissioned the second phase of its subsea compression system in the \u00c5sgard field. This technology increases the pressure in the pipelines connecting the wells to the \u00c5sgard B platform, resulting in increased natural gas recovery<\/strong> from producing reservoirs. <\/p>\n\n

Up to 90 % gas recovery at Midgard and Mikkel<\/h2>\n\n

Thanks to this new phase, the Midgard and Mikkel fields are expected to reach a recovery rate of 90%. This is equivalent to the extraction of an additional 306 million barrels of oil equivalent. <\/p>\n\n

The compressor station is located at 270 meters depth and has two compressor modules operating in parallel, with a spare train located in Kristiansund to maintain operational continuity.<\/p>\n\n

Modular technology for efficiency<\/h2>\n\n

Since its entry into operation in 2015, the system has maintained close to 100 % uptime, generating around NOK 175 billion in value. <\/p>\n\n

The infrastructure, developed by OneSubsea and Everllence and installed by TechnipFMC, uses a modular design that facilitates future upgrades with reusable components.<\/p>\n\n

Collaboration to maximize reservoir potential<\/h2>\n\n

Equinor is leading the project in partnership with Petoro, V\u00e5r Energi, TotalEnergies and Repsol Norge, who share the \u00c5sgard and Mikkel licenses. The joint objective is to maximize gas recovery in mature fields by applying advanced technology and efficient operational strategies on the \n Norwegian continental shelf<\/a>\n<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

With a surface area of 3,300 m\u00b2 and a weight of 5,100 tons, the \u00c5sgard Subsea Compression Station \n \u00c5sgard Subsea Compression<\/a>\n<\/strong> (\u00c5SC) is the largest processing facility on the seabed. Its modular “Lego”-style architecture allows for rapid interventions when required, consolidating Norway as a world reference in \n advanced gas recovery<\/a>\n<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n
