Statfjord: Norway's Drive to Maximise Recovery Rates from Her Mature Fields
Statfjord: Norway’s drive to maximise recovery rates from her mature fields In the oil and gas industry today, 70 per cent of the world's oil reserves are located in mature fields – assets where production has reached its peak and has started to decline. As things stand that accounts for in excess of 63 million barrels-worth of oil production per day. Nowhere are the challenges presented by mature fields more acutely felt than on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS), where the majority of the 69 fields in production today are classified as mature. In 2001, production on the NCS reached a peak of 3.4 million barrels per day. As of January 2013, Norwegian assets were producing only 1.4 million barrels of oil per day – roughly a 5 per cent year-on-year decrease over a 12 year period. Oil hunger Norway is reliant on and addicted to oil. The marginal tax rate on net profits within the petroleum sector is 78 per cent and in 2012, 30 per cent of total State revenue was derived from the hydrocarbon industry. In Q2 2013, crude oil and natural gas accounted for 41 per cent of all Norwegian exports and 35 per cent of the growth in Norway’s economy could be directly attributed to oil activity. The country’s oil fund is the world’s largest at NOK 4.52 trillion ($750 billion) and is set to grow by a further 50 per cent by 2020. The oil and gas industry dwarfs every other sector in the national economy. -
Tectonic and Climatic Control of Triassic Sedimentation in the Beryl Basin, Northern North Sea
Journal of the Geological Society, London, Vol. 149, 1992, pp. 13-26, 12 figs, Printed in Northern Ireland Tectonic and climatic control of Triassic sedimentation in the Beryl Basin, northern North Sea L. E. FROSTICK’,T. K. LINSEY’ & I. REID2 ‘Postgraduate Research Institute for Sedimentology, The University, Reading RG6 2AB, UK 2Department of Geography, Birkbeck College, University of London, Malet Street, London WClE 7HX, UK, Abstract: The Beryl Basin (Embayment) occupies a central position along the Viking Graben of the northern North Sea and has been a hydrocarbon play since the early 1970s. Detailed analysis reveals a complex half graben that was established during a rift-phase of development that occurred in the Early Triassic (Teist Formation), after which, a long period of thermal subsidence (Lomvi and Lunde Forma- tions) provided accommodation forin excess of 1OOOm of sediment. The Teist Formation sediments are complex, they include shales, sands and conglomerates, and their superimposition on Zechstein salts is indicative of both uplift and the development of a moderate relief. They give way to the comparatively clean and occasionally pebbly sands of the Lomvi Formation,for which an analysis of both bedding and texture suggests depositionby a westerly-directed river system draining the hanging-wall ramp. The Lunde Formation records the spreading influence of a bajaddplaya complex and its eventual conversion to a more persistent lake. The growing importance and eventual dominance of the succession by lacustrine sediments gives clear indication a of change in climate, and this has been attributed to the rapid northward drift of Pangea during the Triassic period. -

Offshore Petroleum Exploitation and Environmental Protection: the International and Norwegian Response
Comments OFFSHORE PETROLEUM EXPLOITATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION: THE INTERNATIONAL AND NORWEGIAN RESPONSE Degradation of the marine environment inevitably accompa- nies the pursuit of offshore hydrocarbons. This Comment first ex- amines the international legal regime which establishes both jurisdictionalrights of exploitation and the coastal States' obli- gation to mitigate concomitant environmental harms. The writer then focuses on a single coastal State, Norway, to study a domes- tic response to the conflicting needs of offshore exploitation and environmental protection. Issues attending offshore petroleum exploitation confront the world community as it progresses toward a new international law of the sea.' Alternative energy sources must be developed,2 yet 1. By the end of the century, offshore oil could account for nearly half of the annual world production of some seventy billion barrels. R. HALumAN, TowARDs AN ENVIRoNmENTALLY SouND LAw OF THE SEA 3 (1974). Therefore, according to one author, the value of offshore petroleum and gas production will exceed that of the world's fish catch to become the most important marine resource. That being so, one of the problems which arises is to determine how the different interests which States, and the international community as a whole, have in the marine environment, are to be accommodated in a legal order.

Diagenesis and Sequence Stratigraphy. an integrated approach to constrain evolution of reservoir quality in sandstones. Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 762. 30 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 91-554-5439-9 Diagenesis and sequence stratigraphy have been formally treated as two separate disciplines in sedimentary petrology. This thesis demonstrates that synergy between these two subjects can be used to constrain evolution of reservoir quality in sandstones. Such integrated approach is possible because sequence stratigraphy provides useful information on parameters such as pore water chemistry, residence time of sediments under certain geochemistry conditions, and detrital composition, which ultimately control diagenesis of sandstones. Evidence from five case studies and from literature, enabled the development of a conceptual model for the spatial and temporal distribution of diagenetic alterations and related evolution of reservoir quality -

RF - Rogaland Research has a certified Quality System in compliance with the standard NS - EN ISO 9001 RF – Rogaland Research. http://www.rf.no Preface This is the summary report of the Water Column Monitoring 2003 project. The project has been a collaboration project between RF-Akvamiljø and Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA) with several sub-contractors. The sub-contractors have been The Centre for Environment, Fisheries & Aquaculture Science (CEFAS), University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), University of Stockholm. Other contributors to the project, but coordinated directly from Norsk Hydro and OLF have been Ocean Climate a/s and the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research, represented by the crew onboard R/V Sarsen. In addition to the expertise given by Bjørn Serigstad, Ocean Climate a/s with regard to the technical part of the fish and mussel caging, he contributed with valuable comments to the cruise report. This has been the first regular water column monitoring survey in the North Sea and it was based on guidelines given from the BECPELAG Workshop in 2001. We would like to thank a number of people at the different companies and institutes that have contributed to make this a valuable project. -

Because interests are shown up to two deci- mal places, licensee holdings in a field may add up to less than 100 per cent. Interests are shown at 1 January 2003. Recoverable reserves originally present refers to reserves in resource categories 0, 1, 2 and 3 in the NPD’s classification system (see the definitions below).
