Statoil: Lack of sufficient gas discoveries halt Snohvit expansion plans
“The license has not determined whether LNG or a pipeline solution is the best concept for a potential capacity increase at a future date,” said Statoil, the project’s operator. Statoil noted that Snohvit license partners have “devoted considerable resources to finding solutions that could make a capacity expansion profitable.” These have included thorough studies for either a second LNG train or a dew-point facility and pipeline—the latter solution studied in collaboration with Gassco.
“The possibility of producing increased reserves in existing trains has been an alternative throughout the process, in addition to the two concepts for capacity increase. With new gas discoveries increased capacity may again be considered,” Statil said.
Project partners are operator Statoil 36.79%, Petoro 30%, Total E&P Norge 18.4%, GDF Suez E&P Norge 12%, and RWE Dea Norge 2.81%.
