The Petroleum Safety Authority Norway (PSA) has now given Wintershall the consent to use the mobile drilling facilities Island Frontier and Island Wellserver for intervention work on the wells in the Vega field.
Vega lies due north of the Fram field in the northern part of the North Sea. Water depth is 370 metres. The field consists of three separate gas and condensate occurrences: 35/8-1, 35/8-2 Vega and 35/11-2 Vega Sør.
A combined PDO for Vega and Vega Sør was approved by the authorities in June 2007. The field has been developed using three subsea templates tied back to the Gjøa field processing facility.
