Okea – consent for manned underwater operations at Bestla

The Norwegian Ocean Industry Authority (Havtil) has granted Okea consent to carry out manned underwater operations at the Bestla field.

Bestla is a field in the northern North Sea, 13 kilometres south of the Brage field. The water depth is 120 metres. Bestla was discovered in 2016, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in November 2024. The development concept includes a subsea template with two wells tied-back to the Brage platform.

The field is under development, and the production is planned to start in 2027. Source: norskpetroleum.no
