Together with its licence partners Lundin Norway AS and Wintershall Norge ASA, RWE Dea Norge AS has submitted a plan for development and operation (PDO) for the Luno field to the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy.
The Luno field is an oil field located in the Norwegian
sector of the North Sea which incorporates both the Luno and
Tellus discoveries. First production from the Luno field in
PL338 is expected in late 2015 with a forecast gross peak
production of approximately 90,000 barrels of oil per day
(bopd).
Lundin (operator) has a 50 percent working interest in the
Luno field. Wintershall and RWE Dea hold a 30 percent and a
20 percent interest, respectively.
The Luno PDO comprises 15 wells drilled from a jack-up rig, a
processing platform on a jacket structure and export
pipelines tied back to existing infrastructure. Luno contains
186 million barrels of oil equivalents (MMboe) of gross
proved and probable reserves. The oil will be processed and
transported through a new pipeline to the Grane area and
further via the Grane oil pipeline to the Sture terminal for
sale. The facilities on the Luno platform will be prepared
for power from shore when capacity and technical solutions
are available in order to contribute to the development of a
long term electrification of the area.
Lundin has awarded the jacket construction to Kværner Verdal
shortly after the submittal of the PDO. "We are pleased that
Luno - one of the most important recent oil discoveries on
the Norwegian Continental shelf - goes further ahead", says
Hans-Joachim Polk, Managing Director of RWE Dea Norge.
