What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Minister of Energy Terje Aasland officially opened the Skarv satellites on October 19, 2026. This marked the start of production from the Alve Nord, Idun Nord, and Ørn fields in the Norwegian Sea. These fields are tied into existing Skarv infrastructure, which processes gas and transports it via the Åsgard system. The project, which covers about 120 million barrels of oil equivalent, came online a year ahead of schedule.
