Background
Nova was discovered in 2012 and was formerly known as Skarjell.[10] The field's plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 2018.[11] In October 2020, project operators commenced drilling the first of the total six development wells in the Nova field.[12]
Nova is being developed as a subsea tie-back to the Gjøa platform. Oil and gas is expected to be transported via a 65 km pipeline from Nova to the Gjøa gas field.[13]
The project was expected to come on stream in 2021.[14] However, according to project operator Wintershall Norge, "due to the impact of Covid-19 on the topside part of the project" it is now expected to come on stream in 2022.[15] As of February 2, 2021, the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate expects production to start at the field in "early 2022."
Once onstream, Nova is expected to produce for approximately nine years.[13]
