According to the company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lundin Petroleum, the Edvard Grieg field is the first standalone development project operated by Lundin on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).

Initially, the plan was approved by the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy in April.

The first production from the field will be approximately 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) forecast gross peak production.
