Neptune Energy welcomes start-up of the Nova field in Norway

Following Wintershall Dea’s announcement today of the start-up of the Nova field in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea, Neptune Energy’s Director of Operations in Norway, Martin Borthne, said: “As the operator of the Nova brownfield project involving all topside modifications, Neptune Energy thanks the Nova licence owners for selecting the Neptune Energy-operated Gjøa platform as their host and commends Wintershall Dea on the safe and successful start-up of the Nova field.

“It is the third subsea field to be tied back to the Gjøa platform, and will support UK and European energy security at a crucial time. Nova also adds valuable resources and prolongs the economic life of the installation and the other fields connected to Gjøa. Partly electrified with hydro power from shore, Gjøa is becoming the efficient, low-carbon hub it was designed to be.”
