to St. Fergus, Scotland, while oil will be processed on the FSO and transported from the field in shuttle tankers.The main reservoir is structurally complex and contains gas and condensate at high pressure and high temperature (HPHT). There are three reservoirs in Middle Jurassic sandstones in the Brent Group at a depth of 3,700-4,400 meters. Oil has also been found in the Frigg Formation of Eocene age. The main reservoir is located at a depth of 1,750 meters and the reservoir quality is good.(Photo: Equinor
Statoil Makes Gullfaks Discovery
Statoil and partner Petoro have proven additional resources in the Shetland Group/Lista Formation in the Gullfaks license. The Shetland Group and the Lista Formation are younger and slightly shallower deposits with different properties compared to the deposits of the Brent Group where the Gullfaks main reservoirs are located. Indications of hydrocarbons in the Shetland Group/Lista Formation in the Gullfaks license have been known for a long time, but they have not yet been developed due to poor reservoir qualities. A new well test in this interval however indicates good flow rates. "The
