OIL and GAS FIELDS in N OR W AY Industrial Heritage Plan This book is a work of reference which provides an easily understandable Oil and gas fields in n survey of all the areas, fields and installations on the Norwegian continental shelf. It also describes developments in these waters since the 1960s, Oil and gas fields including why Norway was able to become an oil nation, the role of government and the rapid technological progress made. In addition, the book serves as an industrial heritage plan for the oil in nOrway and gas industry. This provides the basis for prioritising offshore installations worth designating as national monuments and which should be documented. industrial heritage plan The book will help to raise awareness of the oil industry as industrial heritage and the management of these assets.

  • Net Zero Targets and GHG Emission Reduction in the UK and Norwegian Upstream Oil and Gas Industry: a Comparative Assessment
    November 2020 Net Zero Targets and GHG Emission Reduction in the UK and Norwegian Upstream Oil and Gas Industry: A Comparative Assessment OIES PAPER: NG 164 Marshall Hall, Senior Research Fellow, OIES The contents of this paper are the author’s sole responsibility. They do not necessarily represent the views of the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies or any of its members. Copyright © 2020 Oxford Institute for Energy Studies (Registered Charity, No. 286084) This publication may be reproduced in part for educational or non-profit purposes without special permission from the copyright holder, provided acknowledgment of the source is made. No use of this publication may be made for resale or for any other commercial purpose whatsoever without prior permission in writing from the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies. ISBN 978-1-78467-168-6 i Abstract The recent adoption by the UK and Norway of net zero and climate neutrality targets by 2050 has galvanised the upstream oil and gas industry in both countries to adopt GHG emission reduction targets for 2030 and 2050 for the first time. Meeting these targets, ensuring an appropriate sharing of costs between investors and taxpayers and preserving investor confidence will present a lasting challenge to governments and industry, especially in periods of low oil and gas prices. The scale of the challenge on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) is far greater than on more mature UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) since the remaining resource base is much larger, the expected future production decline is less severe and the emission intensity on the NCS is already much lower (10 kg CO2e/boe) than on the UKCS (28 kgCO2e/boe) due to the long history of tighter emission standards and offshore CO2 taxation.

  • Structural Framework of the Statfjord Formation (Rhaetian-Sinemurian) in the Oseberg South Field, Norwegian North Sea
    Structural Framework of the Statfjord Formation (Rhaetian-Sinemurian) in the Oseberg South Field, Norwegian North Sea Jeffrey John Catterall Petroleum Geosciences Submission date: May 2012 Supervisor: Stephen John Lippard, IGB Norwegian University of Science and Technology Department of Geology and Mineral Resources Engineering Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank Statoil ASA for the opportunity to work on this project, and for providing me with a place to sit in the Bergen office while writing the thesis. In addition, I would like to thank both of my supervisors Hugo Sese at Statoil and Stephen Lippard at NTNU for their support and feedback throughout the project, and also to Jim Daniels who helped turn this project into one suitable for a Master’s thesis. I have received support from many individuals from the Oseberg South Petroleum Technology Group. Their constant feedback, mentorship, and support during the many aspects of this project have been greatly appreciated. Lastly, thank you to all of my friends and fellow classmates that have made my two years at NTNU such a wonderful experience. Jeffrey John Catterall June 2012 ii Abstract The Statfjord Formation (Rhaetian-Sinemurian) produces from six fields across the North Sea, but no discoveries have yet been made in the 12 exploration wells across the Oseberg South Field. The field has undergone two major periods of rifting in the Permian-Triassic and from the mid-Jurassic to Early Cretaceous. The Statfjord Formation was deposited during the Permian-Triassic post-rift period, but its tectonic influence on the paleogeography of the formation is not well understood.

Abstract The objective of this paper is to present a detailed workflow for developing a field-wide (or basin-wide) “common” equation of state (EOS) model to describe PVT properties1 of all reservoir fluids and wellstream mixtures at all relevant conditions of pressure and temperature. The presented workflow is a result of having developed many field-wide EOS models in conventional reservoirs around the world, and more recently several basin-wide EOS models for North American unconventionals (Eagle Ford, Montney, Bakken, Permian and Scoop/Stack).
