Eldfisk Oil and Gas Field, North Sea

The Eldfisk field, located at a water depth of
70m around 320km offshore Stavanger in block
2/7 in the Greater Ekofisk Area of the
Norwegian North Sea, is the fifth biggest oil
field by reserve on the Norwegian Continental
Shelf.
The offshore oil field, which has been in
production since 1979, is currently undergoing
a major expansion project named the Eldfisk II
project to increase output and extend the field
life up to 2050. Production was estimated at
34,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd) in 2013. The
Eldfisk II project, scheduled for operation in
2015, is expected to contribute an additional
production capacity of 70,000 barrels of oil
equivalent per day.
With 35.11% ownership, ConocoPhillips is the
operator of Eldfisk with Total (39.9%), Eni
(12.39%), Statoil (7.6%) and Petoro (5%) being
the other stakeholders.

Eldfisk discovery, geology and reserves

The Eldfisk field was discovered in 1970 and
received development approval in 1975. The
reservoir comprises of naturally fractured
chalk lying at depths between 2,700m and
2,900m beneath the seabed. The field
consists of three structures; Alpha, Bravo and
Øst Eldfisk.
The Eldfisk field, as of December 2012, was
estimated to contain 37.3 million cubic
metres of oil, 5.4 billion cubic metres of gas
and 200,000t of natural gas liquids (NGL) in
recoverable reserves.

Existing infrastructure of the Eldfisk field

The Eldfisk field currently comprises of four
platforms, including three bridge-linked
platforms; Eldfisk 2/7 A, Eldfisk 2/7 FTP and
Eldfisk 2/7 E. It also has a combined drilling,
wellhead and process platform named Eldfisk
2/7 B, located 6km northwest of the Eldfisk
Complex.
 Eldfisk 2/7 A is a combined living quarters,
drilling and production platform whereas
Eldfisk 2/7 FTP is the process platform that
receives production from the Eldfisk 2/7 A
platform through the bridge connection and
from the nearby Embla field through a 5.2km
oil and gas pipeline.
Eldfisk 2/7 E is a water injection platform
operating since 1999. It produces up to
650,000 barrels of treated water per day,
about half of which is injected into the Eldfisk
reservoir under high pressure with the rest
supplied through a 24km pipeline to the
water injection facility at the Ekofisk field.
The oil processed at Eldfisk 2/7 FTP is sent to
the Ekofisk 2/4 J platform of the Ekofisk
Centre from where it is piped to the receiving
terminal in Teesside. Most of the gas
produced at the field is sent to the Eldfisk 2/7
E platform for drying and compression
before being used as lift gas for wells. The
rest of the produced gas is piped in untreated
form to the Ekofisk 2/4 J platform. The gas
from the Ekofisk Centre is routed by pipeline
to Emden.
