"Snorre has the largest remaining reserves of Statoil’s fields on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS). A number of extensive modifications have been carried out in recent years to make the installations more robust for increased production and an extended lifetime up until the year 2040,” said Torstein Hole, senior vice president, Operations West in Exploration and Production Norway. “We are the NCS field carrying out most modifications in 2009-10. Total capital expenditure for Snorre in 2009 and 2010 amounts to NOK 5 billion, of which health, safety and environmental measures account for over 50 per cent,” said Hole. He adds that 2010 will be another year with a high level of activity on Snorre. In the summer of 2010 the flotel “Safe Scandinavia” will arrive at Snorre A.
