is operated by Aker BP, with Petoro and PGNiG Upstream Norway as partners.

The Tyrving development leverages the planned extended lifetime for the Alvheim
field and will increase production while reducing both unit costs and CO2
emissions per barrel.

The Tyrving development consists of three wells and two new subsea installations
(manifolds), tied back to existing infrastructure at East Kameleon and further
to the Alvheim FPSO.

Recoverable resources in Tyrving are estimated at approximately 25 million
barrels of oil equivalent. Tyrving will operate with exceptionally low
emissions, estimated at just 0.3 kg of CO2 per barrel.
