TotalEnergies said that the restart of the idled Tyra natural
gas field, Denmark's largest, is expected in March.
The French oil and gas major, the field's operator, said that
though some operational uncertainties remain, preparations were
progressing as planned and operations could resume before the
current March 31 restart date.
The natural gas field was idled for redevelopment due to the
subsidence of the field's chalk reservoir after years of
production, TotalEnergies said.
The field was a key production area, responsible for more than
90% of the natural gas produced in Denmark's North Sea before its
redevelopment, the company said.
The redevelopment of the field included the decommissioning and
recycling of old platforms, TotalEnergies said, adding that work is
continuing to repower systems, unplug wells, re-establish
communications and to ensure safe working conditions.
TotalEnergies said tests indicate that the ramp-up to full
technical capacity from the moment the field is restarted is
expected to take four months.
