UPDATE:Talisman:Norway Yme Field To Peak At 41,000 B/D In '11

Dow Jones News
Talisman Energy (TLM) Friday said its Norwegian oil field Yme
will come online next summer and will reach its brief production
peak of 41,000 barrels a day in 2011.
The field's start up, originally due this autumn, has been
delayed by the construction of the production platform, as earlier
communicated by the company.
Yme's platform is being produced in Abu Dhabi and will need to
travel into the Suez canal past the Somali coast where pirates have
seized vessels. It will arrive in Norway during the winter when the
North Sea is at its most inhospitable, company spokesman Andreas
Middlethon told Dow Jones Newswires.
"The Yme production peak will be [reached] very fast, and does
not have a plateau lasting several years," Middlethon said. Any
associated gas production will be reinjected into the field.
Yme, which Talisman is returning to operations after a brief
period of abandonment due to low oil prices, is 70% owned by
Talisman. Det Norske Oljeselskap (DET.NOR), Lotos Exploration and
Production Norge and Wintershall Norge each own 10%. Only 15% of
the field's oil resources were produced by the former operator
Statoil between 1996-2001.
Talisman expects to produce around 42,000 barrels of oil
equivalents a day from all its Norway assets in 2009, rising to
45,000 barrels a day in 2010 with the contribution of Yme, although
that will be partially offset by declines at other fields,
Middlethon said.
The company currently has stakes in six producing Norwegian
fields, including Rev which started up in January 2009 and
Blane.
Talisman said it hopes to raise its medium-term oil output in
Norway from recent exploration successes, including at the Grevling
prospect where an appraisal well will be drilled in 2010. Longer
term, Talisman is targeting growth in the Barents Sea area.
