Aker BP has begun production at the Skarv Satellite Project in the Norwegian Sea, bringing the Alve Nord, Idun Nord, and Ørn fields online. The project, which utilizes subsea templates and wells tied back to the existing Skarv floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessel, was completed approximately one year ahead of its original schedule.

The development involves three separate subsea projects representing roughly 120 million barrels of oil equivalent in recoverable resources. CEO Karl Johnny Hersvik stated that this early delivery signifies the completion of Aker BP’s full portfolio of subsea tie-back projects that were sanctioned in 2022.
