Endeavour reports first gas from Njord Field

Endeavour International Corporation says that production has commenced from the Njord gas export project in the Norwegian Sea. The completion will add approximately 900 barrels of oil equivalent to the company’s daily production and is incremental to oil production from the field which will continue.

Endeavour holds a 2.5 percent working interest in the field which has produced oil since 1997. The gas export project has been underway since early 2005 and involved the drilling of new production wells and the construction of a 25-mile pipeline and processing facility. StatoilHydro is operator of the field.
