Njord Field, Norway, Commercial Asset Valuation and Forecast to 2016

http://www.reportsandreports.com/market-reports/njord-field-norway-commercial-asset-valuation-and-forecast-to-2/

Njord is an oil and gas field located in blocks 6407/7 and 6407/10 in the Haltenbanken area of the Norwegian continental of Norway. Njord was discovered in late 1986 by the exploratory well 6407/7-1S in the East Flank and was subsequently appraised by well 6407/7-2 in the Central Area, 6407/7-4 in the East Flank, and 6407/7-3 and 6407/7-5 in the Northern Area within a time frame of 1986-1991. Njord came onstream in 1997. StatoilHydro ASA is the operator of the field. The other equity partners are E.ON Ruhrgas AG (30%), ExxonMobil Corporation (20%), GDF Suez (20%), Petoro A/S (7.5%) and VNG Norge AS (2.5%).

Njord reservoir contains light crude oil with an average specific gravity of around 46.6° API and low sulphur content (0.05%).The sea depth in the area is 330 meters. Njord infrastructure comprises of Njord A, which is a semi-submersible floating steel platform with drilling, accommodation and production facilities and Njord B which is a storage vessel. The facility is located over subsea completed wells connected through flexible risers. The PDO for Njord gas export was approved in January 2005.

Njord produced 4,673.51 thousand barrels of crude oil during 2009. The owners of the field are planning to increase the production by making developments during 2012 and 2013. Njord achieved peak production of 24,664.52 thousand barrels of oil in 2000. The Njord project is based on a subsea solution with Njord Semi Submersible topside solution. Total capital expenditure estimated for the entire life of asset is NOK 13.8 billion.

The field life of Njord is expected to be around 19-20 years with complete abandonment during 2016. The field is expected to generate $5.36 billion in revenues (undiscounted) during its remaining life (starting January 1, 2010) and is expected to yield an IRR of around 8.37%

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.
