		Dating from the beginning of the period of Viking expansion, the Oseberg ship was found in 1904 in a burial mound located on a farm of the same name at Slagen, about 70 miles south of Oslo.
		Although the Oseberg ship is estimated to have been about fifteen to twenty years old when it was buried, the ship probably served more as a chieftain's private vessel rather than as a warship.
		Despite a long-standing belief that the Oseberg mound was the burial place of Queen Åsa, grandmother of Harald Comely-Hair, the evidence is only conjectural.

	Encyclopedia: Oseberg oil field
		Oseberg is an oil field in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea.
		The North Sea is a sea of the Atlantic Ocean, located between the coasts of Norway and Denmark in the east, the coast of the British Isles in the west, and the German, Dutch, Belgian and French coasts in the south.
		Oseberg Øst is an oil field and has been developed with a facility with a steel jacket with accommodation, drilling equipment and first stage separation of oil, water and gas.

		To improve her seaworthiness, Oseberg's sides were heightened by two strakes, lines of planking running the length of the ship, and she was fitted with a slightly smaller sail, which increased her hull speed and stability.
		Oseberg's seams had to be caulked, cameras had to be rigged to Gaia's mast to record her transatlantic voyage, and all three ships needed a touch of varnish.
		Oseberg is a copy of the most ornate Viking ship found to date, an early-ninth-century vessel excavated near Tonsberg in 1904.

		Ships similar to the Oseberg, called "karvi," were used mainly by chief-tains for cruising along the coast and in the fjords that punctuate the coastline of Norway.
		The Oseberg probably was built about 800 A.D. Half a century later it was dragged ashore, a large wooden burial chamber was erected on its stern and an elderly woman and her young servant were laid to rest within the chamber.
		Unlike the Oseberg, which probably was used for fair weather coastal sailing before becoming a burial vessel, the Gokstad may have been used on the open sea since it is of superior construction.

		Once destined for decommissioning by 2006, Norway's veteran Oseberg development is on track to see its producing life extended to 2024 - and potentially to 2032 - with operator Norsk Hydro having more than doubled base reserves by employing technologies including horizontal wells and advanced completions in concert with an exploration-led field expansion plan.
		Oseberg East joined the flow through the OFC in 1999 and Oseberg South was connected up less than a year later.
		In 2000, gas platform Oseberg D started up to export dry gas from OFC to Heimdal, and, in 2002, the Tune gas condensate field to the west was added to the mix.

		The construction of the first wing of the museum, the "Oseberg Wing", was funded by state allocations in 1926-1927.
		The fourth wing, which houses the various burial objects from Oseberg, Gokstad, Tune and Borre, was first completed in 1957, financed by the University of Oslo.
		The find and excavation of the Oseberg mound was directly responsible for Norway as early as in 1904 establishing a law prohibiting the export of antiquities.

	The Textiles of the Oseberg Ship
		The textiles in the Oseberg find show clearly that everything was planned down to the minute details, and every stage in the preparation was decisive, not the least the quality of the wool which would be used.
		In the Oseberg material there is a fragment of this type which has 30 threads per cm in one and 14 in the other system.
		In the Oseberg find this type of fabric is now completely destroyed, but it is clear that they must once have comprised a large part of it.

	Incorporation of fault seal attributes into hydrocarbon migration modelling of Oseberg-Syd, Viking Graben
		The model area is generally shallower than the hydrocarbon generation window and hydrocarbons are sourced mainly from kitchen areas to the west and the south; hydrocarbons are injected into the model at points determined from regional migration studies.
		The Oseberg Syd model output, in terms of migration pathways and hydrocarbon distributions, is highly sensitive to the input threshold pressure relationship as illustrated in Fig.
		Within the Oseberg Syd area the known hydrocarbon distribution can be reasonably well matched but uncharged fault bounded blocks where hydrocarbons are known to exist point to errors in the seismic mapping, inadequacies in the geological definition of the model (e.g.

		No one even knows the name of the queen, but the Oseberg boat stirred one of the archeological sensations of the 20th century two decades before the discovery of the tomb of Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamen in the Valley of the Kings.

		Nothing is known of the Oseberg queen apart from the spectacular grave, which contained equipment ranging from carved wooden sledges to buckets made of yew wood that were probably plundered in a raid on Ireland or Britain.
		Christensen said the elder Oseberg woman was probably a queen, because the grave contained two pairs of shoes that would fit her feet, which were swollen by arthritis.

		When we compare our material with the material from the graves in Birka, it is reasonable to suppose that our fragments, enriched with embroidery or combined with silk or wool fabric of different qualities, are pieces of a tunic-like garment similar to the tunic identified in the Birka costume[7].
		In the Oseberg material there are a number of silk strips that once were attached to another fabric, which we unfortunately no longer know.
		In the Oseberg material there are no oval brooches, almost obligatory in Birka and which make up the typical set of jewellery for the apron dress, which was the most common female garment during the Viking age.

		There was no surviving linen (presumably what the sails and tents were made of) in either Oseberg or Gokstad, and the rest of the textiles were too damaged to reconstruct except for short sections of borði ("tapestry").

		One is based only on the difference in tank pressure between the start and stop of a release of vapour while the other also allows for the time element during a vapour release.
		To find out why the two voyages for the transportation of Oseberg crude vary so much with regard of vapour emission further analyses of additional variables has to be undertaken.
