The ORLEN Group has commenced production from the Tommeliten A field on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
It will provide the group with an additional 0.5 billion cubic metres of natural gas annually, to be delivered to Poland via the Baltic Pipe pipeline.
The production startd nearly six months ahead of the scheduled date, means that gas from Tommeliten A will contribute to Poland's energy security already this heating season.
“Tommeliten A stands as one of the ORLEN Group’s largest investment projects on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, not only due to the size of its resources but also because we are the largest interest holder in the field.
“The production start will result in a surge by an additional 0.5 billion cubic metres annually in the ORLEN Group’s gas output, bringing us closer to the strategic goal of doubling production in Norway to 6 billion cubic metres a year.
“The increase in production on the Norwegian Continental Shelf is one of the ORLEN Group's priorities in order to ensure uninterrupted supplies of energy needed by the Polish economy.
"Thanks to excellent collaboration of our Norwegian company with the other interest holders, we were able to accelerate the production start by nearly six months. This is a great success, showcasing the Group's competence in upstream projects and reinforcing Poland's energy security,” said Daniel Obajtek, ORLEN’s CEO and president of the management board.
