Marketable production in million standard cubic metres of oil equivalent (Sm³ o.e.), per month from the Norwegian Offshore Directorate, summed per year. Gas in billion Sm³ equals million Sm³ o.e. Figures up to and including August 2026. The conversion to barrels per day uses 1 Sm³ ≈ 6.29 barrels.
Reserves
The Norwegian Offshore Directorate's estimate as of 31 Dec 2025. Originally recoverable is everything the field is expected to produce; remaining is what is left.
| Product | Originally recoverable | Remaining | Unit |
