Oil production has started at the Tyrving field even as the government appeals a court ruling that questioned the environmental impact assessment of the project.
Norwegian oil and gas firm Aker BP on Tuesday announced the start of oil production from the Tyrving development, while the Norwegian government is testifying at an appeals court this week to overturn a lower court ruling that Norway failed to consider the environmental impact of the project when it approved it.
The Norwegian government appealed the ruling and is due to present its argument at the Borgarting Court of Appeal in hearings beginning on Wednesday. Aker BP is not party to the lawsuit, but its chief executive Karl Johnny Hersvik is expected to testify in court for the government. The company could suffer setbacks if the lower court ruling is upheld. An appeals court judgment, however, could be months or years away.
