For the development of the Dvalin high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) gas field in the Norwegian Sea, a completion scheme using standalone screens is planned.

Sharp reductions in operating expenses has rekindled growth and exploration in the UK North Sea, but this fragile recovery will require a continued luck in exploration drilling and a focus on holding the line on costs, which are still high.
