Green light for Lundin to use Rowan Viking in North Sea
LYSAKER, Norway -- Lundin Norway has received consent from the Petroleum Safety Authority Norway (PSA) to use Rowan Viking to drill production wells on the Edvard Grieg field.
Lundin Norway AS is the operator on the Edvard Grieg field in block 16/1 in the central North Sea, around 45 km south of the Grane and Balder fields and 180 km west of Stavanger. Water depth at the site is around 110 m.
The field has been developed using a fixed wellhead, accommodation and production facility.
The PSA has now given Lundin consent to use the Rowan Viking mobile drilling facility to drill 15 wells for production and water injection. Drilling will last until autumn 2017, with a break in summer 2015 while the seabed facilities are installed.
