During a capacity test at Johan Sverdrup, the field reached a record-high production level of 755000 barrels of oil per day. This equals six to seven percent of the daily European oil consumption. “This process capacity test at Johan Sverdrup confirms technically very robust facilities and was safely performed with no unwanted incidents.
