Oil and gas fields in norway Industrial Heritage plan

Transcription

1 survey of all the areas, fields and installations on the Norwegian continental shelf. It also describes developments in these waters since the 196s, 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 and gas industry. This provides the basis for prioritising offshore installations worth designating as national monuments and which should be documented. The book will help to raise awareness of the oil industry as industrial heritage and the management of these assets. Oil and gas fields in norway Industrial Heritage plan This book is a work of reference which provides an easily understandable Oil and gas fields in norway industrial heritage plan Harald Tønnesen (b 1947) is curator of the Norwegian Petroleum Museum. With an engineering degree from the University of Newcastle-uponTyne, he has broad experience in the petroleum industry. He began his career at Robertson Radio lektro before moving to Rogaland Research, and was head of research at sso Norge AS before joining the museum. Gunleiv Hadland?????????

He has earlier worked on projects for the Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology, the Norwegian Water Resources and nergy Directorate (NV) and others.

2 41 Fields on the NCS This section presents all the fields and installations for petroleum production on the NCS. Fields are defined in this context as all installations naturally connected in a single production system and operated by one and the same operator. Where several fields in an area interact as a single production unit, they are presented under a common heading. It has been appropriate to present areas and fields by their geographical location, with the southernmost first. The presentation of each field is split into four main sections: field description reservoir and recovery strategy transport development solution, with a description of all installations. The descriptions are based on various sources. The NPD s annual Facts publication has been used as the template, with additions from available literature and from field operators. All texts have been quality assured by the relevant operator.

5 Snøhvit Melkøya Hammerfest km Barents Sea. Map: NPD A total of 33 areas containing 9 oil, gas and condensate fields have been developed or planned for development on the NCS, which is bounded by Denmark, the UK and Russia. Of the 86 fixed platforms on the NCS, 71 are in steel and 15 have a concrete GBS. The latter are of three types: Condeep, Doris and Sea Tank. There are 11 Condeep, three Doris and one Sea Tank GBSs on the NCS. Seven of the GBSs have been built with oil storage in their base cells. Twenty floating installations have been installed, including nine catenary-moored, two TLPs and nine production ships. Three tankers are also permanently moored on fields to provide intermediate oil storage. Many hundreds of subsea installations and subsea-completed wells are to be found. More than 9 kilometres of pipelines run from the fields to export gas, condensate and oil, and almost as many kilometres of in-field flowlines.
