Faroe – investment in Southern Gas Basin productionSchooner and Ketch
8
Faroe is 60% owner and Operator of the Schooner and Ketch gas fields
Faroe is doing things differently to extract more value from these assets
So far we have invested in several initiatives to increase profitability,
including:
logistics sharing with Eni, including larger helicopter with greater payload
modernising maintenance methods to increase profitability
In addition further well potential is under consideration with scope to
significantly lengthen the productive and profitable lives of both fields
Continuing to modernise & improve operations to increase profitability
Butch (Norway) – development plannedExcellent value creation opportunity
Butch oil field (Faroe 15%), operated by Centrica
Southern North Sea, 66m water depth
Close to infrastructure - Ula and Gyda
Excellent quality reservoir, light oil
Development project – planning work ongoing
Project passed concept selection in H2 2015
Selected concept:
Subsea tie-back to Ula via Oselvar
Two production wells and one water injection well
Expected on stream in 2019 - plateau production of approx. 35,000 boepd gross
Front End Engineering and Design project on track
Subsea and drilling costs major part of capex – to benefit from reduced market rates
FDP submission currently planned for end 2016
9Exciting material sub-sea oil field development will benefit from significantly lower capex
Greater Njord Area (Norway)Strategic position
Prolific area with yet to be produced reserves in region of 300mmboe
Njord, Hyme and Snilehorn
Njord & Hyme producing in excess of forecast – declining due to drill stop
Facility needs lifetime extension - tow-to-shore in summer 2016
Njord Future project – FDP early 2017
Njord, Hyme and Snilehorn 2P Reserves in excess of 200 mmboe (gross)*
Pil, Bue and Boomerang – 2014 and 2015 discoveries
Pil gross columns ca 135m oil & 91m gas - flowed at stable rate 6,710 bopd of 37 degree API oil, 56/64” choke
Bue and Boomerang added further volumes
Pil project feasibility confirmed for subsea tie-back and leased FPSO stand alone solutions – project now maturing towards concept selection
Potential for significant further resource additions through exploration
Significant infrastructure in the area
Draugen and Njord – large field developments
Åsgard transportation – gas trunk line to European gas market
Draugen – Shell operated Njord – Statoil operated
