    Development
    Bestla is a field in the northern North Sea, 13 kilometres south of the Brage field. The water depth is 120 metres. Bestla was discovered in 2016, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in November 2024. The development concept includes a subsea template with two wells tied-back to the Brage platform.
    26.11.2024
    Reservoir
    The reservoir contains oil with a gas cap in sandstone of Late Jurassic age in the Sognefjord Formation. It is at a depth of 2150 metres and has varying reservoir properties.
    26.11.2024
    Recovery strategy
    The field will be produced by natural aquifer drive combined with the expansion of the gas cap, in addition to gas lift in the wells.
    26.11.2024
    Transport
    The well stream will be routed by pipeline to the Brage facility for processing and further transport.
    26.11.2024
    Status
    The field is under development, and the production is planned to start in 2027.
