据全球能源新闻网8月24日报道，Wintershall Dea已开始其与合作伙伴Petoro和Sval Energi在挪威海运营的Dvalin气田的生产，为欧洲市场提供了大量新天然气。

该气田有助于巩固挪威作为欧洲最大天然气供应国的地位：Dvalin计划生产足够为200多万户家庭供暖的能源。随着欧洲继续寻找可预测的长期天然气供应，天然气产量增加。Wintershall Dea首席运营官Dawn Summers表示，“我们意识到，在冬季的几个月里，欧洲对天然气的需求将上升，欧洲大陆将期待挪威成为首选供应商。我们一直在努力确保Dvalin的安全投产，并对该气田将为欧洲能源安全形成的重大贡献感到满意”。

自2020年底以来，在测量到井流中汞含量高后，该气田已被关闭。从那时起，在挪威中部的Nyhamna和Tjeldbergodden的陆上加工设施中安装了除汞装置。

Dvalin气田的预计寿命到2038年，包括目前正在开发的Dvalin North气田。

位于Heidrun西北约15公里处的Dvalin，采用单一海底模板和四口生产井进行开发。该气田是Wintershall Dea继Maria、Nova和Vega之后在挪威运营的第四个海底气田。

WINTERSHALL DEA FLOWS FIRST COMMERCIAL GAS FROM DVALIN

Wintershall Dea has started production from the operated Dvalin gas field in the Norwegian Sea together with the partners Petoro and Sval Energi, providing significant new gas volumes to the European market.

The field helps underpin Norway’s position as Europe’s largest gas supplier: On plateau, Dvalin is planned to produce enough energy to heat more than 2 million homes. The additional volumes come as Europe continues to search for predictable long-term supplies of natural gas. “We are aware that in the winter months European demand for gas will rise, and the continent will be looking to Norway to be the supplier of choice. We have worked hard to ensure Dvalin will be onstream safely, and are satisfied that the field will make a significant contribution to European energy security,” said Dawn Summers, Wintershall Dea Chief Operating Officer.

The field has been shut-in since late 2020 after measurements of high levels of mercury in the well stream. Since then, mercury removal units have been installed at the onshore processing facilities at Nyhamna and Tjeldbergodden in mid-Norway.

The Dvalin field has an estimated lifetime until 2038 including the Dvalin North field, which is currently being developed.

Located some 15 kilometres northwest of Heidrun, Dvalin has been developed using a single subsea template with four production wells. The field now joins Maria, Nova and Vega as Wintershall Dea’s fourth operated subsea field in Norway.
