摘要

The South Viking Graben of the North Sea is a prolific oil and gas province that has recoverable reserves of approximately 176X10~9 Sm~3 (standard cubic meters) (6.2 tcf) gas, 58X10~6 t (412 million BOE) natural gas liquids, and 12.5X10~6 Sm~3 (78 million bbl) of black oil contained in the main fields Sleipner Vest, Sleipner Ost, and Volve.
