The Brynhild project is progressing at a slower pace than anticipated due to commissioning issues related to the FPSO operated by Shell on the Pierce Field in the UK sector. The upstream portion of the Brynhild project operated by Lundin Petroleum is progressing satisfactorily but the production start-up is now expected late in the third quarter of 2014.

The Brynhild field offshore Norway is a subsea tie-back to the Pierce field, operated by Shell (Enterprise Oil Ltd), in the UK sector. The production facility for the Pierce and Brynhild production is the Haewene Brim FPSO owned and operated by Bluewater owned Pierce Production Company Limited.
