The Johan Sverdrup field is expected to increase its daily production capacity up to 535,000 barrels of oil by mid-2021.
This is around 100,000 barrels more than the original basis at start-up in

This will be the third capacity increase since the field came on stream
The Johan Sverdrup field is powered from shore with very low CO2 emissions per barrel. In 2020 one barrel of oil produced at the field emitted below 0.2 kg CO2 - almost 100 times lower than the global average. Emissions during the field life are estimated at less than 0.7kg CO2 per produced barrel.
