Troll Field Sets Norwegian Production Record

The Troll field in the North Sea has set a historic production record, delivering 42.5 billion standard cubic meters of natural gas in 2024.

This is the highest annual production ever for the field and an increase of almost 10% from the previous record from 2022 (38.8 billion standard cubic meters).

Troll A and the processing plant at Kollsnes have been electrified since the start-up in 1996. Gas on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS) is locally sourced and has the industry's lowest emissions from production and transport.

This year's record is the result of high regularity, a year without turnarounds, as well as upgrades that have increased efficiency. Riser replacement on Troll B has also played an important role in maximizing production.

Since coming on stream in 1996, the Troll A platform has been the main contributor to natural gas production on the NCS. In 2021, production was expanded to also include the gas cap in the western part of the reservoir, facilitated by a major subsea development.

This expansion has been instrumental in increasing production, even
