The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) has granted consent for start-up of the Breidablikk field in the North Sea. Production is expected to start in October.
Breidablikk is an oil field situated ten kilometres northeast of the Grane field, west of Haugesund. Equinor is the operator, while Vår , ConocoPhillips and Petoro are licensees.
The field is a subsea development with four subsea templates, each with six well slots.
Breidablikk contains around 30 million standard cubic metres of recoverable oil (approx. 190 million barrels of oil). Total investments are around NOK 19 billion.
