Production Ensuring Europe‘s energy supply

The Edvard Grieg field is located in the Utsira High area of the North Sea, around 180 kilometres west of Stavanger. The field, discovered in 2007, came on-stream in November 2015. The oil field has a stand-alone platform, including processing and living quarters on a steel jacket construction. The platform was designed as a regional hub to receive and process hydrocarbons from current and future developments and discoveries in the area. It has already lived up to its design principles becoming the host platform for the Solveig tie-back field.

The Skarv field was discovered in 1998 and is located just south of the polar circle, 210 kilometres off the coast of Sandnessjøen. The field is served by a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel which receives the hydrocarbons from Skarv and several surrounding fields and developments including Gråsel, Idun and Ærfugl.  As a major producer and a hub for new field development and exploration activity, Skarv is one of Wintershall Dea's most important assets in Norway.

Snorre is an oil field in the Tampen region of the northern North Sea. Wintershall Dea has an 8.57% stake in the field. The Snorre field consists of several large fault blocks. The reservoir consists of sandstone from the Statfjord and Lunde formations in the Early Jurassic stratum and the Triassic strata. The reservoir is at a depth of between 2,000 and 2,700 metres. In December 2020 the Snorre Expansion Project came on stream, adding almost 200 million barrels of recoverable oil reserves to the field. Today Snorre takes a proportion of its energy from Hywind Tampen, the largest offshore windfarm in the world. Hywind Tampen is designed to provide up to 35% of Snorre's energy needs.

Snøhvit is a liquified natural gas (LNG) field in the Barents Sea and is located 140 kilometres to the northwest of the town of Hammerfest. It is the first offshore development project in the Barents Sea and has no surface installations on the field itself.

The subsea gas wells are connected via pipelines to the plant on the island of Melkøya, just off Hammerfest. The depth of the water there is between 310 and 340 metres. In addition to Snøhvit, the field also includes several discoveries and reservoirs in the Askeladd and Albatross structures. Since Snøhvit captures and stores a large proportion of its CO2, emissions, the field is already a pioneer in decarbonisation. With the ongoing electrification of the Melkøya plant, the field and plant are involved in one of the largest CO2 reduction projects ever seen in Norway.
