Equinor Begins Eirin Gas Production, Enhancing North Sea Exports to Europe
Equinor has commenced production from the Eirin field in the North Sea, adding new gas volumes for export to Europe. The project, completed in approximately three years, is expected to recover about 27.6 million barrels of oil equivalent, primarily gas. The development was accelerated due to the increased importance of Norwegian gas for European supply following geopolitical tensions. Eirin, discovered in 1978, was previously considered uneconomic but has now been developed as a subsea facility tied back to the Gina Krog platform, with gas exported through the Sleipner system.
