Background

Johan Sverdrup was discovered in 2010 by Lundin Petroleum.[8] The field lies in two different production licenses and consists of two different discoveries Avaldsnes and Aldous Major South. When it was revealed that these discoveries constituted one single field, it was renamed Johan Sverdrup.

The plan for development and operation (PDO) for the first stage of development was approved in 2010. The gross capital investment for Phase 1 was NOK 97 billion (11.2 billion USD).[8] It consisted of four-platform field hub; living quarters, process, drilling, and riser facilities. The drilling platform has 48 well slots.[8] Stabilised oil is exported from the field via an oil export pipeline to storage caverns at the Mongstad terminal.[9]

The gross capital investment for the full field is NOK 137–152 billion (15.8–17.6 billion USD).[8]

Johan Sverdrup officially started production on October 5, 2019.[10]

The field is expected to produce oil through 2059.[11]

Phase II

A PDO for Phase II was approved in May of 2019, it comprises of a process platform and five subsea templates. Development of Phase II is expected to be completed by 2022.[12]

Opposition

Une Bastholm, of the Green Party (MDG), called Johan Sverdrup oil field a betrayal of future generations because of economic risk and the extended use of fossil fuels.[10]
