Blog: Follow Tyra to First Gas
The Tyra Redevelopment is now reaching the start-up phase – implying the very final sprint towards resuming Tyra’s production and delivering first gas supplies to Denmark. Follow here the Tyra Blog for updates on technical milestones towards first gas.
All hands are on deck to prepare the facilities for safe production restart. Visit here our REMIT* messages regarding Tyra that provide more information on timing of first gas and ramp-up.
After production restart, we will be gradually re-establishing the gas flow from Harald, Svend, Roar and Valdemar, and the wells from the Tyra field itself (Southeast, West and East). Once back at full capacity, Tyra II enables Denmark to become once again self-sufficient and net exporter of natural gas.
To bridge the time until first gas, watch here below the new Tyra movie that explains about the project and future gas flow from the Tyra hub to the consumers.

Denmark receives first gas supplies from Tyra production in Nybro
On 28 March 2024, the first gas supplies exported by the Tyra hub are reaching the onshore facilities in Nybro in Denmark wherefrom they will be distributed to the consumers.
In the next steps, the gas flow from Tyra wells and satellite fields will be gradually re-established. The Tyra hub will enable Denmark to become once again self-sufficient and net exporter of natural gas.

The Tyra hub restarts gas production
On 21 March 2024, the redeveloped Tyra hub that connects the surrounding fields in the North Sea, has started to re-build pressure inside the export pipeline connecting Tyra field to Nybro, first gas molecules are being added since production was suspended in 2019.
Read the full press release here and stay tuned for a further update once the gas has arrived in Nybro.
In the next steps of the start-up phase, the gas flow from Tyra wells and satellite fields will be gradually re-established, with an expected ramp-up to full technical capacity reached in four months.

Dan gas flows into Tyra facilities
On 16 March 2024, our teams reestablished the gas flow from the Dan field into the Tyra facilities. Visit our REMIT message including start-up timing here.
We are now entering the core of the start-up: while we flow the gas through the facilities, all last verifications are being performed before gas processing and export to shore can resume.
Tyra II represents the central hub for Danish natural gas production in the North Sea. It not only processes the gas from the Tyra field but also from the surrounding satellites and the Dan field. At the processing module called TEG, the gas goes through different steps to reach the required pressure to enable gas flow to the Danish market.
The flow of the Dan gas is the first one to be reestablished to the Tyra hub. The gas flow from the Tyra satellite fields and reservoirs will be gradually reestablished.
Stay tuned for more updates.

Methanol loading on Tyra has commenced
On 12 March 2024, the team successfully commenced the loading of Methanol at Tyra. Visit our REMIT message including start-up timing here.
After the verification that all emergency and safety systems are functional and compliant, the team has received the green light to start loading Methanol at the new facilities.
In specific, this was obtained via an Offshore Verification Statement (OVS) from the independent verifier for the methanol system, associated subsystems and safety systems confirming that the independent verifier has reviewed the design, fabrication and testing of these systems, as far as safety is concerned, and list any associated conditions. This OVS declaration forms part of the multi-step approval process towards first gas and further gas export, where additional accredited declarations will support the authority approvals.
Methanol, a colorless and flammable liquid, plays a crucial role in further ensuring the safety and integrity of our offshore operations.
Stay tuned for more updates.
