Johan Castberg

The field's massive FPSO is anchored in place and on schedule for first oil prior to year-end.

The massive vessel moved from Aker Solutions quayside to begin sea trials ahead of deployment in the Barents Sea prior to year-end.

Program will focus on finding more resources around Goliat and Johan Castberg through 2026.

The rigs will work in the Norwegian Sea and on the Johan Castberg field.

Johan Castberg is the biggest oil field to ever be discovered in the Barents Sea, but a constellation of satellite fields are likely needed to keep the development afloat.

The Barents Sea is the gift that keeps on giving for Equnior which has made its 10th sizeable discovery within the same license area.

Vessel will have Aker-made modules installed in Norway where final outfitting and commissioning will take place.

More time and money are needed for Johan Castberg and others, while government looks to boost hydrogen research.

New find will likely be tied into future Johan Castberg infrastructure.

The technology will provide Equinor a continual feed of updated reservoir information from its Johan Castberg and Johan Sverdrup fields with the aim of improving well placement, production, injection, and—ultimately—recovery.
