Poland's Energy Security Gets a Boost as ORLEN Starts Three Norwegian Sea Gas Fields

Poland's energy security is set to receive a significant boost as ORLEN Upstream Norway commences production from three Norwegian Sea gas fields.

The company, along with its license partners, has started natural gas production from the Idun Nord field and is preparing to bring the Alve Nord and Ørn fields into production over the coming weeks. The three developments are expected to provide ORLEN with more than 4 billion cubic meters of natural gas, supporting Poland's energy security and diversifying regional supply sources.

The integrated development was completed ahead of schedule, reducing costs through shared infrastructure, procurement efficiencies, and coordinated logistics. Production is expected to have a carbon intensity of approximately 4.5 kg of CO2 per barrel of oil equivalent (boe).

ORLEN expects production from the Skarv area to increase from 3.3 million boe to approximately 9 million boe in 2027.
