Original Development By Statoil
The field was produced by Statoil from February 1996 until it was closed down in 2001. The field was produced using the jackup rig Maersk Giant equipped with oil producing facilities. The produced oil was transferred to the tanker Polysaga. Polysaga had a storage capacity of up to 160,000 cu meters of oil. It was moored and loaded by the subsea turret loading system (STL). The oil from Polysaga was offloaded to a shuttle tanker and transported to the Statoil Mongstad terminal near Bergen for final processing and fiscal metering. Mongstad had to beef up its desalters in order to be able to handle the Yme crude. The field was abandoned in a time of low oil prices after having produced 56 million barrels (8.9×106 m3) of oil (15% recovery of original oil in place).
