The water depth is 100 metres. The field comprises two separate main structures, Gamma and Beta, which are 12 kilometres apart. Yme was discovered in 1987. Production started in 1996 but ceased in 2001 because operation of the field was no longer regarded as profitable. Yme was the first field on the Norwegian continental shelf to be considered for redevelopment after being shut down. Production started again in October 2021. Reservoir The reservoir contains oil in two separate main structures, Gamma and Beta. The structures comprise six deposits. The reservoirs are in sandstone of Middle Jurassic age in the Sandnes Formation, at a depth of 3,150 metres. They are heterogeneous and have variable reservoir properties. Status Production started again in October 2021. Yme has overcome the start-up challenges from previous years; however, production in 2024 has been lower than anticipated, mostly due to the delay of infill drilling.
