Aker BP has started production from Solveig Phase 2 on the Norwegian Continental Shelf after completing the development drilling programme.

The second phase of the Solveig discovery sits in the Norwegian Sea. The scope covered new subsea production wells that were drilled and then connected to existing host infrastructure as part of the expansion.

Work was carried out under Aker BP’s drilling and wells alliance model. The new wells were tied back into the current production system, enabling the Phase 2 start-up once drilling was finished.

Solveig Phase 2 supports Aker BP’s wider plan to add incremental output through near-field developments and subsea tie-backs that make use of existing offshore facilities on the NCS.
