The Dvalin gas field in the Norwegian Sea, previously known as Zidane was discovered in 2010 by well 6507/7-14S. A gas-bearing reservoir with a thickness of 150 metres was encountered in the Garn and Ile formation. A second gas-bearing reservoir with a thickness of 140 metres was discovered in 2012 with a second exploration well 6507/7-15S (Dvalin West) in the Lange, Garn. Ile and Tilje Formation.
Dvalin is estimated to hold around 18 billion standard cubic meters of gas. Dvalin will be tied back to Heidrun and first gas is expected in 2020.
