Verdande is a field in the Norwegian Sea, 10 kilometres north of the Norne field. The water depth is 380 metres. Verdande was discovered in 2017, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in June 2023. The development concept includes a subsea template with three production wells tied-back to the Norne floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO).

The field is under development, and the production is planned to start in 2025.
