... of a strategic initiative to increase production from low-permeability mature assets on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, a single-trip, multistage proppant fracturing system was developed. A frac service tool assembly (STA) is deployed on a dedicated work string, and the fracs are pumped before installing...

... Abstract Improved oil recovery (IOR) is the ultimate discovery in any oilfield. Equinor has a long history of evaluating and implementing IOR projects on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS), where it was observed that infill drilling and well cost reduction are the most important measures...

... Abstract One of the crucial components of well integrity evaluation in offshore drilling is to determine the cement bond quality assuring proper hydraulic sealing. On the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) an industry standard as informative reference imposes verification of cement length...

... As part of the operator's efforts to combat climate change going forward, the operator intends to reduce annual emissions from its oil and gas operations on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) by 40% within 2030, and to near zero by 2050. To achieve these emission reduction targets...

... 1 Introduction: Oil production from the Norwegian Continental Shelf is declining, and it is the production of gas that keeps the number of oil equivalents up. To make the reduction in production curve as low as possible in the years ahead, it is essential to drain the existing fields...

... on the Norwegian Continental Shelf for the past four years and is systematically being improved from year to year. Currently, a long term commitment has been made by Norwegian Operators to acquire a RLWI service from one provider for a 5 + 3 years period. In conjunction with this long-term commitment new...

... and performance standards is not new in the offshore petroleum industries 4 , the issue of the IEC standards have sparked a renewed interest. In Norway, the effect of the IEC 61508 and the draft IEC 61511 standards has been that operators on the Norwegian Continental Shelf have started analyzing protective...

... The Deepwater Arena General. Oil companies have been exploring for hydrocarbons in offshore areas at ever increasing water depths around the world. Statoil is one of the operators which is in the forefront of this effort, both through its operations on the Norwegian Continental Shelf and through its increasing...

... field testing on the Norwegian Continental Shelf at depths down to 1300 m. An approach to how the environmental data can be utilised to evaluate the CP current demand in deep water is also discussed. Introduction Today the approach to CP design for offshore structures in general is either to apply...

... Abstract The Ekofisk Field, discovered in 1969, was the first field to be developed on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Currently in the order of 550,000 bbls of oil and 2 bcf of gas is being handled at Ekofisk. However, after more than 20 years of production the Ekofisk Field started to show...

..., and thus represent a valuable infrastructure. This paper describes the resource situation and the installed infrastructure on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Then the potential of still maintaining a high activity level in field developments is outlined. PETROLEUM RESOURCES The Norwegian continental...

... ABSTRACT A heat flow measurement technique used in shallow boreholes on the Norwegian Continental Shelf in water depths from 105 to 440 m is described. A thermistor probe was mounted on a downhole jack normally used for geotechnical investigations, and connected to an onboard recording unit...
