    Development
    Volund is a field in the North Sea, 10 kilometres south of the Alvheim field. The water depth is 120 metres. Volund was discovered in 1994, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 2007. The field was developed with a subsea template including four horizontal subsea production wells and one injection well tied to the Alvheim production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO). The production started in 2009. An additional subsea template was installed subsequently.
    14.12.2023
    Reservoir
    Volund produces oil from Paleocene sandstone in the Hermod Formation. The deposit is a unique injectite trap. The sand was remobilised in the early Eocene and injected into the overlying Balder Formation. The reservoir is at a depth of 2000 metres and has excellent quality.
    09.12.2023
    Recovery strategy
    The field is produced with significant pressure support from the aquifer and with injection of produced water delivered from the Alvheim FPSO.
    28.02.2023
    Transport
    The well stream is routed by pipeline to the Alvheim FPSO. The oil is offloaded to shuttle tankers, and the associated gas is transported to the Scottish Area Gas Evacuation (SAGE) pipeline system and further to St Fergus in the UK.
    28.02.2023
    Status
    The recoverable volume estimates are significantly higher than in the PDO, partly because of additional wells drilled on the field. However, the production from Volund is declining due to increasing water cut.
