Reactivation project will help power millions of homes.
While the United Kingdom continues to be fixated in their ‘net-zero’ lunacy, Norway is set to revive three gas fields in the North Sea.
Norwegians go ‘drill, baby, drill’, reopening the fields for the first time in three decades, as Norway tries to meet growing export demand from Germany and the UK.
Norway is reopening gas fields in the North Sea after almost 30 years.
The Norwegian’s will be selling us this gas.
We could drill for gas, in the same sea.

The Telegraph reported:
“Steinar Våge, the European president of ConocoPhillips, the hydrocarbon company behind the reactivation, said the three fields would produce about 19 billion cubic meters of gas. That is equivalent to powering up to three million homes in the UK.
‘By utilizing existing infrastructure, we can produce substantial resources at low cost, and strengthen gas exports to Europe’, he said.”
Norway approves the re-development of three North Sea oil-and-gas fields that were closed ~30 years ago.
After redeveloping, the fields will pump gas and light oil. The gas will be sent to Germany and the light oil to (irony of the ironies) the UK. https://t.co/Kdnv7RgxGP

“Norway’s push to ramp up oil and gas exploration represents a marked difference to what is happening in the UK, where about 180 of its 280 fields are set to close by 2030. In the last 12 months, Britain spent £20bn buying oil and gas from Norway and that reliance is only set to grow further.”
‘Norway are still continuing to exploit their reserves, what are we doing? We’re importing gas from Norway!’

“The three gasfields to be reactivated – Albuskjell, Vest Ekofisk and Tommeliten Gamma – lie off southern Norway, near the giant Ekofisk reserve. They were shut down in 1998, but new technology means the estimated 19 billion cubic metres of gas they are thought to hold has now become accessible. They are scheduled to reopen in 2028 and operate for up to 20 years.”
On Tuesday, the #Norwegian Govt announced new exploration acreage under the APA (Awards in Predefined Areas) scheme to further develop our petroleum sector.
