By GlobalDataThe company intends to explore, develop and produce hydrocarbons, primarily focused on oil, on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, in collaboration with licence partners and authorities.
Lundin Norway is operating and developing the Brynhild and Edvard Grieg fields and evaluating and maturing its major oil discovery, Johan Sverdrup.
The Brynhild field, which recently started production, was developed as a subsea tie-back to the Pierce field in the UK sector of the North Sea.
The Edvard Grieg field will be developed with a steel platform resting on the seabed, with production start-up expected later this year.
