The shutdown of the Tyra field due to renovation lasted 4.5 years, but in March the field began to produce gas again. However, it was a quiet start-up and the goal at the time was to achieve full production by July at the latest.
However, that ambition had to be postponed later due to technical problems, so that the expectation was to reach full production before the end of the year.
Now TotalEnergies, which is the operator of the Tyra field, is announcing another delay. This time, however, it is a minor one of just under a month. So now the expectation is to reach full production before the end of January. The reason for the latest delay is operational challenges and weather-dependent activities.
- Our teams are working hard to increase production as the wells come back into operation. As a result, we have secured additional gas supplies to Denmark from the start of the winter season. However, due to minor operational disruptions and the harsh conditions in the North Sea, which are affecting weather-dependent activities, we now expect to deliver full production in the second half of January, says Ole Hansen, CEO of TotalEnergies EP Denmark, in a press release.
During this start-up process, gas flow from the Tyra wells and the surrounding satellites is being re-established. Gas flow from three out of six fields has already been re-established. Currently, gas from the Harald, Tyra Øst and Sydøst wells is being exported via the Tyra hub to Denmark and the Netherlands. Gas flow from the Valdemar, Tyra Vest and Roar satellites will be restored in the coming weeks, provided that weather conditions are safe.
When the Tyra facility is fully operational, 5.7 million cubic meters of gas will be produced per day.
