Norway as an Oil Producer The field lay directly north of the boundary to Denmark, at the southernmost point of the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The country's oil output expanded beyond the expectations of earlier prognoses, mainly because better understanding of the reservoirs was obtained and technological breakthroughs facilitated their exploitation. However, it would be natural to reach agreements to cooperate on the exploitation of oil and gas which lies on both sides of the boundary, as Norway and the UK did in connection with the StatfJord, Frigg and Murchison fields in the North Sea. home.nc.rr.com /wwalk/EngineeringWonders/norwayoil.html   (1927 words)

Country page   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) Oil was discovered in 1969 in the Ekofisk field, which remains by far the biggest field in the area. Statfjord, which extends into UK waters, has produced over 3.5 Bn Bbls in Norway since 1979 from 3 concrete gravity structures although the field is declining rapidly. The field also has a laterally extensive shallow oil reservoir with excellent properties and is the highest oil producer in the region, at 385,000 Bbls per day in 2004, although this is probably near its peak. www.energyfiles.com /europefsu/westerneurope/countries/norway.htm   (1682 words)

Fields in production (Field Information)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) Oil in the field is heavy and complicated to recover. Oil is piped to a tie-in with the Ula pipeline and on via the Ekofisk Centre to Teesside, while gas goes through a dedicated pipeline to the Ekofisk Centre for sale to the Ekofisk group. Oil and gas are separated and metered on the Hod platform, and piped as a two-phase flow for final processing on Valhall. www.scandoil.com /moxie_field/norway/production/index.shtml   (3075 words)

The NPD's fact-pages. Field STATFJORD ØST. Statfjord Øst is an oil field located around 7 km northeast of the Statfjord field in 150 – 190 metres of water. The field has been developed with three well templates that are tied back to Statfjord C. Two of the templates are for production and one for water injection. The Statfjord Øst reservoir consists of Mid-Jurassic sandstones in the upper and lower parts of the Brent group. www.npd.no /engelsk/cwi/pbl/en/field/all/43672.Htm   (151 words)

Norwegian Petroleum and European Integration - 1993 The sale of oil to Israel in 1982, the British rejection of the Sleipner Agreement (a gas contract) in 1984, and the "oil-option policy" (favoring oil over gas production), which was inspired by Norway's inability to sell high-priced gas on the Continent, were all influenced by political and strategic thinking. In the field of natural gas, the single internal market is not necessarily introduced as a dramatic shift from one set of rules to another at the end of 1992. In the field of energy, the country may have a say in these dynamic processes also as a non-member, even though its voice would, probably, be louder if she had a member's seat at the table. www.kaldor.no /energy/brent9205.htm   (8055 words)

OilOnline - The Original Online Source for the Oil Industry All going according to plan, the Statfjord late life (SFLL) project will generate 'a decade of extra output', with volumes of around 32bcm of gas, 25 million barrels of oil and 60 million barrels of condensate calculated to be in the offing, a resource corresponding to a 'medium-sized discovery' on the Norwegian continental shelf. To extend the field's life by another 10-15 years, crude flow will have to be replaced by gas, with major modification work carried out on the field's trio of production platforms to accommodate the switch, and extensive drilling to target new gas targets while squeezing out the last oil pocketed about the field. Statfjord A is already equipped for lowpressure gas production, and its adaptations and well programme will both be 'limited', but B and C will need 'substantial upgrading' before handling large volumes of gas. www.oilonline.com /News/features/oe/20050610.Silver_S.18253.asp   (2023 words)

The NPD's fact-pages. Field SYGNA. Sygna is an oil field that straddles the boundary between production licences 037 and 089 between the Snorre and Statfjord fields. The field has been developed with a subsea template, with four well slots, that is tied back to Statfjord C. Three production wells have been drilled at Sygna.

Norway as an oil producer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) Oil from both this platform and the Statfjord B and C platforms is loaded out in the field. The first oil pipeline to the Norwegian mainland was laid between Oseberg and Stura in Øygarden municipality, a little north of Bergen.

energyme.com :: Statoil: More oil from better sand control More oil than planned will flow from the three platforms on Statoil's Statfjord field in the North Sea this year, thanks to an improved system for monitoring sand intrusion in the wells. While a field continues to produce on plateau, the answer to this problem is to close down wells which are producing sand. Statfjord B adopted the full-scale sand management strategy in April, with the C platform following in mid-July and installation of detectors on Statfjord A scheduled for completion in late August. www.energyme.com /energy/2004/pr_04_0670.htm   (362 words)

A Production-Based Sequence Stratigraphic Framework is the Key for Optimal Oil Recovery on Mature Fields: Examples from ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) This presentation shows, through established work processes and case examples from the Statfjord Field of offshore Norway, the value of establishing and actively using a high resolution stratigraphic framework on mature fields. The targeting remaining oil process (TRO process) on the Statfjord Field has proven to be a valuable method for identifying and maturing remaining pockets of oil. The mature stage of the Statfjord Field is such that the completion strategy is best established by interaction between the production engineer's PI and fluid-flow estimates, the reservoir engineer's understanding of the production history, and the geologist's representation of the high resolution stratigraphic framework and interwell architecture. aapg.confex.com /aapg/cal2005/techprogram/A96329.htm   (342 words)

Gemini No.4 December 1996 A combined cycle power plant, producing 300 MW of electricity net, and a CO sequestering plant are located on the Condeep platform at Statfjord A. This is one of the first large platforms to go out of production on the Norwegian continental shelf. The power from this plant supplies the three main Norwegian oil fields Statfjord, Gullfaks and Snorre by AC cable.
