The Bøyla field is tied back to the Alvheim floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) unit’s existing infrastructure via a 28km pipeline.

The Bøyla field is estimated to contain gross reserves of 23 million barrels of oil equivalent and is expected to produce at a gross peak rate of around 20,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) after completion of the second production well.

Drilling operations on the second production well were suspended in late-2014.
