據離岸工程6月26日報道，西班牙雷普索爾石油公司已獲得挪威監管機構的同意，延長其位于北海的Rev油田的運營期限至2023年底。

該油田是生產許可證038C的一部分，雷普索爾是其運營商，位于北海挪威區南部英國邊境附近，距離Varg油田南部4公里。

此生產許可證此前的有效期至2021年4月1日，現在已延長至2023年12月31日。在此基礎上，雷普索爾已向挪威石油安全局（Petroleum Safety Authority Norway）申請同意延長油田使用壽命。PSA上周五表示：“我們現在已經同意雷普索爾在Rev的運營期限延長至2023年12月31日。”。

Rev油田于2001年發現，于2009年開始開采，但隨后已減少到該油田在適當的儲層壓力下間歇生產的程度。

該氣田是使用海底模板開發的，有三口天然氣生產井與英國大陸架的Armada氣田相連。挪威石油公司表示，該油田于2012年開始的負壓開發，導致2013年停止了正常生產。

然而，油氣井生產周期很短、壓力恢復周期長是可能的。據挪威石油公司網站顯示，預計循環生產將持續到退役。

Repsol to Extend Rev Field Life to 2023 End

Spanish oil company Repsol has received consent from the Norwegian regulators for life extension of the Rev field in the North Sea.

The field, part of production license 038 C, for which Repsol Norge is the operator is located near the UK border in the southern part of the Norwegian sector in the North Sea, four kilometers south of the Varg field.

This production license was previously valid until April 1, 2021, but has now been extended to December 31, 2023.

"On this basis, Repsol has applied to the PSA for consent to extend the life of the field. We have now given Repsol consent to use the facilities at Rev until 31 December 2023," The Petroleum Safety Authority Norway said Friday.

The Rev field, discovered in 2001, and roduction from Rev started in 2009, but it has then decreased to the point where the field produces intermittently at times of appropriate reservoir pressure.

The field has been developed using a subsea template with three gas production wells tied to the Armada field on the UK continental shelf.

According to norskpetroleum.no, negative pressure development starting from 2012 resulted in cessation of regular production in 2013.

It has, however, been possible to produce the wells with very short production periods and long pressure build-up periods. It is expected that cyclic production will continue until decommissioning begins, information at norskpetroleum.no website shows.
