Symra field offshore Norway begins production ahead of schedule

DNO, which maintains a 12.3 per cent stake in the host platform, highlighted that Symra is the first project on the Norwegian Continental Shelf to produce from a Zechstein carbonate reservoir.

“Symra propels us along the path to our ambitious North Sea 2030 production target,” said Executive Chairman Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani. He further claimed that the firm is on a “credible growth trajectory” compared to other oil producers in the region.

Production in the North Sea for the company averaged 15,200 barrels of oil equivalent per day (2,417 cubic metres) during 2024.

This volume rose to 81,100 barrels (12,894 cubic metres) on a pro-forma basis in 2025 following the inclusion of assets acquired throughout that year.
