Together with Sval Energi and Pandion Energy Norge, Wintershall Dea has begun production from the own-operated Nova oil field in the Norwegian North Sea. As Europe needs every additional barrel it can get, it comes on stream just in time. Wintershall Dea is now one of the largest subsea operators on the Norwegian Continental Shelf due to the completion of Nova.

“With the start-up of the major project Nova, Wintershall Dea is now operating three subsea production fields in Norway. We are expanding our subsea technology expertise and meanwhile three further tieback-developments, including Dvalin, are in the planning. As a subsea operator we are committed to making the most of the infrastructure that Norway has spent decades developing, as well as maintaining a low-carbon intensity portfolio while producing the energy that Europe needs,” said Hugo Dijkgraaf, Wintershall Dea Member of the Executive Board and Chief Technology Officer.
