摘要

London-The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate has approved plans by US upstream company ConocoPhillips to start up a new water injection facility intended to prolong the life of the mainstay Ekofisk field in the North Sea, it said Thursday. The seabed facility known as Ekofisk VC, with four injection wells, will start operating in late-2018 and will boost oil output by 17 million barrels over the life of the field, ConocoPhillips said in emailed comments.
