Production from Snøhvit
The Snøhvit conventional gas field recovered 29.08% of its total recoverable reserves, with peak production expected in 2025. The peak production will approximately 14.60 thousand bpd of crude oil and condensate, 366.00 Mmcfd of natural gas, 9.59 thousand bpd of natural gas liquids and 600 Mmcfd of liquid natural gas. Based on economic assumptions, production will continue until the field reaches its economic limit in 2064. The field currently accounts for approximately 3% of the country’s daily output.
Remaining recoverable reserves
The field is expected to recover 1,269.80 Mmboe, comprised of 83.01 Mmbbl of crude oil & condensate, 1,768.35 bcf of natural gas reserves, 4,975.45 bcf of liquid natural gas reserves and 62.82 Mmbbl of natural gas liquid reserves. Snøhvit conventional gas field reserves accounts 0.43% of total remaining reserves of producing conventional gas fields globally.
