AbstractThe small Yme oil field offshore Norway was discovered in 1987,but the Plan for Development and Operation (PDO) was first submitted in 1993 due to the field's marginal character, The recoverable oil reserves as basis for the PDO were only 3,4 milL Sm3. With the field located far from infmtructure, the development decision required a dedicated effort from the license owners.
