The operator of the Danish Underground Consortium– including TotalEnergies EP Danmark (operator, 43.2%), BlueNord (36.8%), and Nordsøfonden (20%)– has actually verified the development made in commissioning activities associated with the Tyra II centers, highlighting that the complete technical capability might be reached in between November 5– 15, based on staying functional unpredictabilities.
Production ramp-up is anticipated to come after optimum technical capability, so that, the task can reach its plateau level. While the reboot of gas production from Tyra II and the export of the very first gas were commemorated previously this year, a functional event momentarily affected the commissioning of the centers throughout the ramp-up and screening duration.
As an outcome, the timeline for the commissioning and additional step-up of the export and production from the job was postponed and anticipated to extend into the 4th quarter of 2024. TotalEnergies likewise divulged a technical problem with the low-pressure (LP) compressor transformer.
The prepared repair work of the 2nd transformer advanced ahead of the timeline, therefore, the transformer was prepared earlier than expected for transport offshore to Tyra to be raised back onto the processing center followed by setup.
Upon striking the complete capability target, Tyra II is anticipated to provide 2.8 billion cubic meters of gas a year, which totals up to 80% of the forecasted Danish gas production. TotalEnergies sees the task as the main center for Danish gas production in the North Sea.
The Tyra II centers have actually been created to process gas from the Tyra field, which is stated to be Denmark’s biggest gas field, and the surrounding Harald, Svend, Roar, and Valdemar satellites together with the Dan field.
A couple of days back, TotalEnergies made a brand-new gas condensate discovery throughout drilling operations with the Shelf Drilling-owned jack-up rig at a well in the Harald East location, which will be exported through the Tyra centers.
