The Gjøa field (PL 153) was discovered in 1989, and a PDO was delivered and approved by the Norwegian authorities in 2007. The field is developed with five subsea templates tied to the Gjøa Semi-Submersible for processing and export. Production started in 2010. Oil is exported by pipeline to Mongstad and gas by pipeline to St. Fergus in the UK. The Gjøa P1 segment is located in the northern part of the Gjøa field. License partners include Neptune Energy Norge (30% and operator), Petoro AS (30%), Wintershall Norge AS (20%) OKEA (12%) and DEA Norge AS (8%).

The Duva field (PL 636) is located 6 kilometers northeast of the Gjøa field (12 kilometers from the Gjøa platform). The shortest distance to shore is 35 km. The discovery was made in production license 636 in August 2016 by drilling well 36 / 7-4. License partners include Neptune Energy Norge (30% and operator), Idemitsu Petroleum Norge AS (30%), Pandion Energy AS (20%) and Wellesley Petroleum AS (20%).

Both fields will be developed as fast-track subsea tiebacks to the Neptune operated Gjøa facilities. In April, TechnipFMC was awarded a contract covering the subsea equipment from the wellheads to the riser hang-off at Gjøa, including subsea templates, xmas trees, manifolds, production and gas lift pipelines, umbilicals, subsea structures and control systems) plus installation activities.

The engineering and fabrication works have commenced, and the first template will be installed in the third quarter of 2019 on the Duva field. The majority of the installation scope will be in 2020 with first oil targeted for in the fourth quarter of 2020.
