TotalEnergies has announced the restart of production from the Tyra hub in the Danish North Sea, estimated to produce 5.7 million cubic meters of gas and 22,000 barrels of condensate per day.
The Tyra hub is a partnership between TotalEnergies (43.2%), BlueNord (36.8%) and Nordsøfonden (20%).
“We are pleased to restart the Tyra hub, one of the most technologically advanced offshore gas installations in the world. The success of this major redevelopment project owes a lot to the commitment of our teams, our partners and our contractors,” said Nicolas Terraz President, Exploration & Production at TotalEnergies.
“The new Tyra leverages state-of-the-art digital solutions and technological innovations to produce more efficiently and with 30% lower greenhouse gas emissions than the former facilities,” Terraz added.
The resumption of gas production from Tyra improves Europe’s security of supply, Terraz noted.
The gas from the Tyra hub is delivered to Europe through two export pipelines to Nybro in Denmark and Den Helder in the Netherlands.
The Tyra field was discovered in 1968 by Maersk Oil and is located 225 kilometers west of the coast of Esbjerg. In September 2019, gas production was suspended to enable the redevelopment of Tyra. The project involved the decommissioning of the previous facilities and the installation of 8 new platform topsides, 2 jackets, 6 bridges, and reusing and recycling 98.5% of the materials recovered from the retired installations.
