據海上能源4月11日消息,挪威運營商Aker BP及其合作伙伴Pandion Energy已從位于挪威近海北海南部的Hod B開始生產。
2020年6月,挪威議會通過了石油稅收制度的臨時改革的第二天,Hod B的第一批鋼材在Verdal的Aker Solutions廠房里被切割。現在,不到兩年后,Aker BP周一通知,生產已經開始。
Aker BP首席執行官Karl Johnny Hersvik表示:“Hod B在不到兩年后就開始生產,這是個好消息!這表明,2020年春季,當石油行業因大規模疫情和油價大幅下跌而陷入癱瘓時,臨時性稅收改革是如何成熟起來的,并產生了真正的影響。Aker BP和Pandion Energy立即回應了政客們的期望,即在全國范圍內為供應行業創造活力。”
隨著Hod B的快速批準,該項目已經經歷了一個艱巨的時期:在Verdal切割第一塊鋼材14個月后,該平臺按照計劃安裝在海上。
作為提醒,現為Aker Solutions的Kvaerner于2020年6月獲得了一份為該平臺交付上部結構和鋼制下部結構的合同。在第一次鋼材切割之后僅一年零兩個月,下部于2021年7月安裝,上部安裝于同年8月。
Hersvik補充說:“有許多人可以慶祝Hod油田二氧化碳排放量幾乎為零的盈利生產的開始。通過像Hod B這樣的項目,我們正在為公司、合作伙伴、聯盟伙伴、所有者和整個挪威社會創造價值。我們還在為維持挪威世界領先的供應商行業作出貢獻。”
據Aker BP稱,在投產前的一段時間內,Subsea 7在Hod項目中進行了多次海底活動,例如氣舉管道、生產流水線和臍帶管的安裝和連接。Maersk Invincible自升式鉆井平臺已經鉆了六口生產井,并且在Valhall油田中心進行了改造工作。
共有五個聯盟為Hod項目作出了貢獻。聯盟從頭到尾都集成在項目中,通過這樣做,Aker BP將聯盟模式提升到了一個新的水平。
Hod B是一個通常無人操作的井口平臺,從Valhall現場中心進行遠程操作。得益于海岸電力,Hod油田的二氧化碳排放量將接近于零。
Aker BP和合作伙伴Pandion Energy預計Hod將生產4000萬桶石油。
Valhall資產經理Ole Johan Molvig表示:“Hod為實現Valhall從該地區生產總計20億桶石油的目標作出了重要貢獻。”

Aker BP brings online North Sea project less than two years after first steel
Norwegian operator Aker BP and its partner Pandion Energy have?started production?from the Hod B in the southern North Sea offshore Norway.
The first steel for Hod B was cut in Aker Solutions’ yard in Verdal, the day after the Norwegian Parliament adopted temporary changes in the petroleum tax regime in June 2020. Now, less than two years later, the production has started, Aker BP informed on Monday.
Karl Johnny Hersvik, CEO of Aker BP, said: “Production start-up from Hod B less than two years after, is great news! It demonstrates how the temporary tax changes, matured in the spring of 2020 when the industry was paralyzed by a pandemic and a sharp fall in oil prices, has had a real impact. Aker BP and Pandion Energy responded immediately to the politicians’ expectation of creating activity for the supplier industry across the country.”
In line with the rapid sanctioning of Hod B, the project has been delivered through a demanding period: 14 months after the first steel was cut in Verdal, the platform was installed offshore – in accordance with the plan.
As a reminder, Kvaerner, now Aker Solutions, secured a contract to deliver the topside and steel substructure for the platform in June 2020. The jacket was installed in July 2021 and the topside in August of the same year, just one year and two months after the first steel cut.
Hersvik added: “There are many who can celebrate the start of profitable production with almost zero CO2 emissions from the Hod field. Through projects like Hod B, we are creating value both for the company, partners, alliance partners, owners and the Norwegian society at large. We are also contributing to sustain a world-leading supplier industry in Norway.”
According to Aker BP, in the period leading up to production start-up, Subsea 7 has conducted several subsea campaigns in the Hod project, such as the installation and connection of the gas lift pipelines, production flowlines and umbilicals. The Maersk Invincible jack-up rig has drilled six production wells, and modification work has been carried out at the Valhall field centre.
A total of five alliances have contributed to the Hod project. The alliances have been integrated from start to finish in the project and by doing this, Aker BP has taken the alliance model to a new level.
Hod B is a normally unmanned wellhead platform, remotely operated from the Valhall field centre. Production from the Hod field will have close to zero CO2 emissions thanks to power from shore.
Aker BP and partner Pandion Energy expect Hod to produce 40 million barrels of oil.
“Hod is an important contribution towards achieving the Valhall ambition of producing a total of two billion barrels from the area,” said Valhall Asset Manager, Ole Johan Molvig.
