Intro

Johan Sverdrup P2 is a fixed steel processing platform installed in 2022 as part of the Phase 2 development of the Johan Sverdrup field in the Norwegian North Sea, Block 16/2. The platform expands oil processing capacity and supports plateau production. It is bridge-linked to the existing Johan Sverdrup complex and receives power from shore.

Field

The Johan Sverdrup oil field lies on the Utsira High in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea. Discovered in 2010, it produces oil from Upper Jurassic sandstone reservoirs, mainly the Draupne Formation. It is one of the largest oil discoveries on the Norwegian continental shelf and is developed in multiple phases using fixed platforms.

Facilities

The P2 platform provides additional oil processing capacity to sustain long-term plateau production. Facilities include inlet separation, oil stabilization, produced water handling, and associated utilities integrated with the wider field infrastructure. Fluids from production wells routed through the field’s wellhead platforms are processed across the complex, with P2 relieving capacity constraints on earlier installations. Treated oil is exported via subsea pipelines to the Mongstad terminal. Produced water is treated and reinjected or discharged according to field design. The platform operates with power supplied from shore, eliminating routine offshore power generation and significantly reducing emissions. Utilities include electrical distribution, control and automation systems, fire and gas detection, deluge systems, and safety shutdown interfaces. P2 is bridge-linked to other Johan Sverdrup platforms, enabling shared utilities, personnel movement, and integrated operations. The fixed steel jacket and topsides are designed for long-term, high-throughput oil processing under stable operating conditions.
