- Previously known as the Hild Gas and Condensate Field
 
Summary Information
- Operator: Equinor
 - Country: Norway
 - Location: North Sea
 - Production start: 2021
 - Partners: Equinor - 51 %, Petoro - 30 %, Sval Energi - 19 %
 - Type: Gas And Condensate
 - Estimated Reserves:
- Oil: 5.8 million Sm3
 - Gas: 20.0 billion Sm3
 - NGL: 0.9 million tonnes
 - Condensate: 3.5 million Sm3
 
 - Production Volume:
 
Description
- A stand-alone development, in a water depth of 115 meters, accesses separate gas/condensate and oil reservoirs.
 - It includes the installation of an integrated wellhead, production and accommodation platform.
 - Processed gas will be exported to St Fergus Gas Processing Plants in the UK via a new link to the existing Frigg UK Gas Pipeline System (FUKA).
 - Liquids will be sent to a dedicated storage vessel where water is separated for reinjection, and oil will be exported via shuttle tankers
 
Contractors
- **Aker Solutions:** Engineering for several building blocks, including topside, jacket, an FSO (floating storage and offloading), turret and mooring, SURF (subsea umbilicals, risers, pipelines and flowlines) and transportation and installation
 - **Technip & Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI):** Engineering, procurement, fabrication, transportation, hook-up and commissioning of the topsides of a fixed production platform
 - **Kvaerner:** EPSC-contract (Engineering, Procurement, Supply and Construction) for delivery of a steel jacket
 - **Emtunga:** Living Quarter and Helideck
 - **GE:** Supply of four complete, variable frequency drive high-speed electric motor and centrifugal compressor packages
 - **KWSubsea:** Conceptual study to establish feasible pipeline design solutions for various development options
 
History
- 1978 - Hild Gas And Condensate Field discovered
 - 2011 - Aker Solutions awarded engineering contract
 - 2012 - Final investment decision
 - 2012 - Technip & Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) awarded topsides contract
 - 2013 - GE awarded compressor contract
 - 2018 - Equinor acquired Total's stake and became operator
 - 2021 - Production started
 - 2022 - Sval Energi acquired a 19% share
 
Geology
- The reservoir is structurally complex, and contains gas at high temperatures and pressure.
 - There are three reservoirs in Middle Jurassic sandstones in the Brent Group at a depth of 3 700–4 400 metres.
 - Oil has also been proven in a reservoir of Eocene age at approximately 1 750 metres.
