Aker BP has received consent to use the accommodation facility Haven at the Valhall field in the Norwegian North Sea.

The approval was granted by the Norwegian Ocean Industry Authority for the use of the unit as a living quarters facility at the field. Macro Offshore Management received an acknowledgment of compliance for the mobile accommodation unit Macro Haven in October 2024.

The jack-up facility was delivered in 2010 by Drydocks World and Graha Shipyard in Indonesia. Its deployment comes as Valhall moves into a new stage that is expected to support 40 more years of production.

Valhall has been producing since 1982. Aker BP aims to recover another 1 billion barrels from the field, matching the volume produced since start-up. The plan includes projects such as the Valhall PWP-Fenris development.

The Valhall PWP-Fenris project entered the construction stage in September 2023. Total investment in the development is estimated at $6.6 billion, and production is expected to begin in Q3 2027.
