STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Total E&P has brought the L4G gas field, offshore Netherlands onsteam, according to an announcement from field partner Lundin Petroleum AB.

L4G currently consists of a single subsea development well, which has a production potential of about 1 MM cu m of gas, an equivalent of 6,500 b/d of oil.

A new deck extension has been built on the L4A receiving platform to accommodate the L4G gas flow. From there, the gas production will be exported to the Uithuizen terminal in the province of Groningen via existing facilities.

The L4G project is combined with the installation of a new pipeline between the K6GT and the K6C platforms. This re-engineering of the gas flows from the K6-L7 area permits an optimization of the gas production, according to Lundin.

Total E&P Nederland holds a 55.66% interest in the field and is the operator. Its partners are Energie Beheer Nederland B.V. (40%) and Lundin Petroleum (4.34%).
