Total has sold its remaining 15% interest in Gina Krog to partner KUFPEC for USD 317 million following an announcement from KUFPEC on 30 August 2017. The acquisition, which was reported by the NPD as complete on 5 December 2017 (effective from 30 November 2017), gives KUFPEC a further 34 MMboe and 9,000 boe/d (it already held 15% from a previous deal with Total in 2016). Gina Krog came onstream in June 2017 and a new exploration well will be drilled in late 2017. The deal also includes the transfer of Totalâs 15% interest in PL 813 which lies to the north of Gina Krog. Gina Krog, which is covered by PL 029 B, PL 029 C, PL 048 and PL 303, was developed using a fixed platform with 20 slots (for 11 producers and three injectors). Gas is piped to Sleipner East and oil is initially (until 30 September) being directly offshore loaded onto shuttle tankers through a flexible flowline and riser prior to the FSO being installed later in 2017. The platform will, in time, be powered from shore using the Utsira High area power solution (due in 2022). Investments totalled NOK 31 billion (USD 3.7 billion) and field life is expected to be 20 years. Operator Statoil will drill the new exploration well (15/6-14 S) as a sidetrack from development well 15/6-B2 in late December 2017. According to partner Aker BP, the well is targeting potential reserves of 8-21 MMboe and the prospect is named Central 3. Upon completion of the deal, both Gina Krog unitised field interests and interests in PL 813 are as follows: Statoil Petroleum ASA (58.7% + operator), KUFPEC Norway AS (30%), PGNiG Upstream Norway AS (8%) and Aker BP ASA (3.3%).
