    Development
    Vale is a field in the central part of the North Sea, 16 kilometres north of the Heimdal field. The water depth is 115 metres. Vale was discovered in 1991, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 2001. The field was developed with a subsea template including one horizontal production well with a single side track, tied-back to the Heimdal facility. The production started in 2002.
    09.12.2023
    Reservoir
    Vale produced gas and condensate from Middle Jurassic sandstone in the Brent Group. The reservoir is at a depth of 3700 metres and has low permeability.
    09.12.2023
    Recovery strategy
    The field was produced by pressure depletion.
    29.09.2023
    Transport
    The well stream from Vale was routed to Heimdal for processing and export. Gas was exported via Vesterled to St Fergus in the UK. Condensate was transported by pipeline to the Brae field in the UK sector and further to Cruden Bay.
    29.09.2023
    Status
    Vale was shut down in September 2023. Decommissioning of the subsea template must be completed by the end of 2028.
