Fram H-North is exempted from having to submit a PDO in line with the ministry’s guidelines.

The partners made the investment decision for Fram H-North in mid-2012.

Fram H-North is a standard subsea template that can house four wells and is linked by about 5km of pipeline and umbilicals to the existing subsea template on Fram West A2.

Statoil senior vice president for projects Anders Opedal said: "We have succeeded in delivering two new high-quality projects within budget.

"We set lofty goals as regards implementation time for the fast-track development projects and we were able to reduce the time by about 40% on average. Svalin C and Fram H-North contribute towards our goal."
