Gullfaks
Gullfaks is one of largest the oil layers Norwegian. He was discovered in 1978, in the area of Tampen in the septentrional North Sea. The water prodfondor reaches 220 meters, which is relatively deep for this sea.
The structure of this layer, which has tanks in several layers, complex, is split up by many faults.
The production started in 1986. Oil is exported directly, two of the three platforms being equipped with buoys of loading for Pétrolier S. It reaches more 500 kbbls /j in 1994, but declined today to some 15% of this value. The production of gas evolved/moved in parallel. The remaining reserves are about 200 Mbbls, whereas cumulated production approach 2.3 Gbbls.
The layer is the subject of studies on the injection of CO2, which could prolong its lifespan by étandant the extractable quantity of oil somewhat.
Currently, of the peripheral tanks are exploited from the platforms of Gullfaks, thanks to oblique wells with great range. These satellite layers are Gullfaks Sør, Rimfaks, and Gullveig.
