The field is located in the Halten Bank of Norwegian Sea about 200km from mid-Norway and 50km south of Statoil's Heidrun field. The water depth is in the range of 240-300m. It is a major development in the Halten Bank area which serves as the production hub for that area.

Statoil acts as the operator of the field with 34.57% equity share. The field produces Asgard Blend crude oil which is light (48.9° API), low sulphur (0.12% mass) crude oil.

The field comprises the Midgard, Smorbukk and Smorbukk South deposits, which were discovered in the years 1981, 1984 and 1985 respectively. Midgard is a gas and condensate field and located in blocks 6507/11 and 6407/2. The other two deposits containing oil, gas and condensate are located in block 6506/11. These three deposits were unitized into one production license in the year 1995.

The field contains approximately 735 million barrels of oil-in place and 8.2 (trillion cubic feet) tcf of gas-in place reserves. The estimated recoverable reserves as of 31/12/2009 are 710 million barrels of oil and 6.6 tcf of gas. The field life of Asgard is expected to be around 26 years with complete abandonment during 2024. The field is expected to generate $44.8 billion in revenues (undiscounted) during its remaining life (starting 1/1/2010) and is expected to yield an IRR of around 16.03%.
Scope

• The report provides detailed information on oil and gas production, infrastructure, reserves, geology, operator and equity partners and the latest fiscal terms applicable to the asset and provides its fair value (Remaining Net Present Value) based on remaining reserves, forecast production, capital and operational costs, fiscal regime and commodity prices.
• The report also provides additional valuation parameters like Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Profitability Index (PI), Pay Back (discounted and undiscounted), Entitlement Production (EP) and Working Interest (WI) to enhance your decision making process.
• This report provides detailed sensitivity analysis of the remaining NPV with changes in the commodity prices, discount rate, production and key fiscal terms.
• Detailed cash flows over the life of the asset are included in the report. These cash flows cover a wide range of calculations related to various payments to the government/licensing authority.
• Interactive Excel models can be used to derive custom valuations, sensitivities and cash flows based on the specific inputs by the user in the model. These custom inputs vary from production data, cost information, price information and fiscal terms information.
