+++ Description

• Njord is an oil field located about 30 kilometres west of Draugen in the Norwegian Sea. The water depth in the area is 330 metres.
• The field has been developed with a semi-submersible drilling, accommodation and production facility and a storage vessel, Njord B.
• The facility is placed over subsea completed wells connected through flexible risers.
• The facility was originally only producing oil
• The [[[Hyme Oil Field]]] was developed as a subsea tie back
• The oil is off-loaded from the storage vessel to tankers for transport to the market. The gas is transported through Åsgard Transport to Kårstø.
