Production at Siri restarted

2010.01.24 - Projects

The field has been shut down since 31 August 2009, after a routine inspection revealed cracks in a water buffer tank at the Siri platform. A temporary solution involving a metal frame that stabilizes the tank is now in place. With Siri back in production, the production from the satellite fields Nini and Cecilie can also be resumed. The recently completed Nini East development will also start production shortly.

A permanent repair of the damage is expected to be finalized in second half 2010.

Noreco owns 50% in Siri, 30% in Nini and 61% in Cecilie. Noreco`s share of production from these fields prior to the shutdown amounted to roughly 6,000 barrels per day. Furthermore, Nini East (30% Noreco) is expected to contribute with around 3,000 barrels per day to Noreco when the field reaches full production.
