Serial development with leased facilities proposed for small Norway developments

摘要

The Glitne Field in the Norwegian sector, which Statoil applied to develop in midyear, should be the first in a series of profitable small field developments. Statoil has a portfolio of small fields in the southern Viking Graben - the region between Sleipner and Heimdal in the west of the Norwegian North Sea - which it aims to develop in a coordinated fashion. They share a number of common features -reserves of black oil with a low gas content, good reservoir quality, low reservoir risk, and assurance of a good production rate over a reasonable period.
