The field is located in the Halten Bank of Norwegian Sea about 200km from mid-Norway and 50km south of Statoil's Heidrun field. The water depth is in the range of 240-300m. It is a major development in the Halten Bank area which serves as the production hub for that area.
Statoil acts as the operator of the field with 34.57% equity share. The field produces Asgard Blend crude oil which is light (48.9deg API), low sulphur (0.12% mass) crude oil.
The field comprises the Midgard, Smorbukk and Smorbukk South deposits, which were discovered in the years 1981, 1984 and 1985 respectively. Midgard is a gas and condensate field and located in blocks 6507/11 and 6407/2. The other two deposits containing oil, gas and condensate are located in block 6506/11. These three deposits were unitized into one production license in the year 1995.
The field contains approximately 735 million barrels of oil-in place and 8.2 (trillion cubic feet) tcf of gas-in place reserves. The estimated recoverable reserves as of 31/12/2009 are 710 million barrels of oil and 6.6 tcf of gas. The field life of Asgard is expected to be around 26 years with complete abandonment during 2024. The field is expected to generate $44.8 billion in revenues (undiscounted)
