The Norwegian Ocean Industry Authority (Havtil) has given OKEA consent to extend the lifetime of the Draugen facility.
Draguen is part of production licenses 093, 158 and 176 where OKEA is the operator. The consent for Draugen facilities were previously valid until 9 March 2024, but this has now been extended to 31 December 2040.
The consent includes the use of the facilities on the Draugen field for operation, production and well intervention.
Draugen
Draugen is a field in the southern part of the Norwegian Sea. The water depth in the area is 250 metres. Draugen was discovered in 1984, and the plan for development and production (PDO) was approved in 1988. The field has been developed with a concrete fixed facility and integrated topside, and has both platform and subsea wells. Stabilised oil is stored in tanks at the base of the facility. Two pipelines connect the facility to a floating loading-buoy. Production started in 1993.
