Fram H-North, which is located in the Troll area, is projected to hold around 10 million barrels of recoverable oil equivalent.

Situated in the Grane area, Svalin C is estimated to have more than 30 million barrels of oil equivalent.

Statoil senior vice president for operations West Kjetil Hove said: "Fram H-North and Svalin C are contributing new and important production for Statoil and its partners on the Norwegian shelf.

"These projects also expand our possibilities for developing good solutions for oil and gas production from the areas in which they are located."

The plan for development and operation (PDO) for Svalin C was approved by the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy in November 2012.

Svalin C houses a subsea facility with two wells, around 6km southwest of the Grane platform.

Fram H-North is exempted from having to submit a PDO in line with the ministry’s guidelines.

The partners made the investment decision for Fram H-North in the summer of 2012.

Fram H-North is a standard subsea template that can house four wells. It is linked by about 5km of pipeline and umbilicals to the existing subsea template on Fram West A2.
