Key highlights
- Recoverable resources about 27.6 million barrels of oil equivalent, predominantly gas, exported via Gina Krog and Sleipner A.
- Equinor delivered a subsea tie‑back in three years with NOK 4.5 billion investment, extending Gina Krog's economic life from 2029 to 2036.
- Field emits roughly 3 kg CO2 per barrel oil equivalent, supported by Gina Krog electrification and reuse of mature subsea technology.
Production start
The Eirin field has started producing gas and is exporting via the Gina Krog platform with onward shipment through Sleipner A to European markets.
Resources and history
Expected recoverable resources are about 27.6 million barrels of oil equivalent, predominantly gas; the discovery was made in 1978, later abandoned for lack of profitability and reassessed in 2023.
Development and economics
Developed as a subsea tie‑back to Gina Krog, the project was delivered in three years with total investments of about NOK 4.5 billion and extends Gina Krog's economic life from 2029 to 2036.
Emissions and technology
Gina Krog’s electrification in 2023 and reuse of mature subsea technology yield low field emissions of roughly 3 kg CO2 per barrel oil equivalent; the development reported strong safety performance.
