Gina Krog is located about 30 kilometres northwest of Sleipner, and came on stream in June 2017.

We commenced production from the Gina Krog oil and gas field in the North Sea on June 30, 2017. The Gina Krog platform is tied in to Sleipner A and uses processing capacity on the platform and existing pipelines for sending the gas to the marked in Europe.

Gina Krog (previously Dagny), originally a minor gas discovery just north of Sleipner, is a field that has been considered for development on a number of occasions since it was first discovered in 1974. Gina Krog is a global project with substantial Norwegian deliveries. For example, the the living quarters have been built at Stord, more than half of the equipment packages come from Norway, and all drilling and well services are performed by Norwegian suppliers.

The field will be operated from Equinor’s Stavanger offices, while helicopter and base services will be run from Sola and Dusavika.

When oil and gas were proven in the neighbouring structure Gina Krog Øst (previously Dagny) in 2007, the Gina Krog landscape was reviewed again. Further delineation during the period 2008 to 2011 determined contact between Gina Krog and Gina Krog Øst and confirmed substantial volumes of oil under the entire structure.

The development of Gina Krog illustrates the importance of exploring and developing in mature areas with established infrastructure. It will be among our larger new developments with an estimated 225 million barrels of oil and gas, and help extend the lifetime and exploit available capacity on nearby Sleipner for many years to come.

Gas was proven in the Gina Krog (previously Dagny) discovery as far back as in the 1970s, just north of the Sleipner Vest field in the central part of the North Sea. In 2007, gas, condensate and oil were discovered in the Ermintrude prospect. Appraisal wells drilled on Gina Krog from 2008 to 2011 proved an oil column under the gas.

The Gina Krog partners submitted a Plan for Development and Operation (PDO) in December 2012. An impact assessment was submitted for consultation in October 2012.

Gina Krog is developed with a platform resting on the seabed, while the wells are drilled by a mobile jack-up drilling rig. The liquid is transported by tanker, and the gas via the Sleipner field.

The Dagny field was renamed Gina Krog in March 2013.

DEVELOPMENT

Gina Krog is a field on the Utsira High in the central part of the North Sea, just north of the Sleipner Vest field. The water depth is 120 metres. Gina Krog was discovered in 1978, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 2013. The field is developed with a fixed platform with living quarters and processing facilities. Production started in 2017.

RESERVOIR

Gina Krog produces oil and gas from sandstone of Middle Jurassic age in the Hugin Formation. The reservoir is complex and compartmentalised with poor to moderate quality, and lies at a depth of 3,700 metres.

RECOVERY

The field is produced by gas injection. Gas is imported from Zeepipe 2A for gas injection and gas lift in the wells.

TRANSPORT

Wet gas is exported by pipeline to the Sleipner A facility and stabilised. Sales gas is exported from Sleipner A via Gassled (Area D) to the market, while unstable condensate is exported to the Kårstø terminal. Oil is transported to a floating storage and offloading vessel (Randgrid FSO), and then offloaded to shuttle tankers for further transport.

STATUS

The field is producing according to the plan. Maturation of new well targets is ongoing and drilling is expected to start in 2022. The facility will be supplied with power from shore starting in 2022, as part of the electrification of the Utsira High area. To reduce cost the Randgrid FSO will be replaced by a oil export pipeline between Gina Krog and Sleipner A platform in 2024.
