Oseberg (Norwegian: Osebergfeltet) is an offshore oil field with a gas cap in the North Sea
located 140 km (87 mi) northwest of the city of Bergen on the southwestern coast of Norway.[1]
The field, which is 25 km long by 7 km wide,[2] was discovered in 1979 and its development is
known to be one of the significant milestones in emergence of Norway's independent oil and gas
industry.[3][4] The Oseberg field was named after Oseberg ship, one of Norway's most significant
archeological discoveries. The ancient Viking ship from the early 9th century was discovered in
a 1904 historical excavation of a burial mound at the Oseberg Farm, south of Oslo.[5]
An extensive subsea pipeline network called Oseberg Transport System (OTS) transports up to
765,000 bbl/d (121,600 m3/d) from the Oseberg area to Sture terminal in Norway.[6] The sea
depth in the Oseberg area is 100 meters. The Oseberg Field Centre consists of three platforms:
Oseberg A, B and D, connected to each other by bridges, in the southern part of the Oseberg
field and the Oseberg C platform, which is located 14 kilometers north of the field center. The
operator is Statoil, in partnership with Petoro, Total, ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips.[3] The
field extends into blocks 30/6 and 30/9, parts of Production licenses (PL) 053 and 079.[3]

Exploration history
The first exploration well on the PL053 license, 30/6-1, was drilled as a wildcat and spudded on
19 June 1979. The well was plugged and abandoned as a gas discovery on 22 September.
Subsequent appraisal wells proved oil in addition to the gas found by the discovery well and
Oseberg was produced as an oilfield. The first exploration well on the PL079 license, 30/9-1 was
drilled as a wildcat at the end of 1982, but treated as an appraisal after it encountered oil and gas
considered to form part of the same accumulation.[3] In 2006, well 30/9-B-19 A proved reserves
in the underlying Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Statfjord formation.[7] Tests are also being
carried out on the overlying Upper Cretaceous Chalk Group reservoir to evaluate the flow
characteristics.[3]
The vertical gas column in the Alpha block was 380 m while the underlying oil column was
about 215 m before production began.[2]
A total of 31 exploration and appraisal wells have been drilled on the Oseberg structure, although
this includes sidetracks and re-entries. Of these wells, only three proved 'dry'.[3]
Development history
Development drilling began in 1985 with a production well drilled from the B template. By the
end of 2009 184 development wells had been completed, consisting of a mixture of production
wells, observation wells, water injectors, gas injectors and cuttings injectors.[3] Production was
from deviated wells until 1992, when the first horizontal well was drilled. By June 1997, 28
horizontal wells had been completed, including three multilaterals. Horizontal drilling close to
the oil-water contact was considered key to prolonging the plateau oil production period and
achieving high recovery rates.[2]
Production
Oseberg A is a concrete base platform which includes process equipment and accommodation
quarters; Oseberg B sits on top of a steel jacket, and has drilling, production and injection
facilities; Oseberg D is a steel platform with gas processing and export equipment which was
connected to the Field Centre by a bridge in 1999. Oseberg C is an integrated drilling,
accommodation and production platform with a steel jacket.[9] Oseberg Vestflanke was
developed with a subsea template tied back to Oseberg B. Oseberg Delta will be developed with
a subsea template tied back to Oseberg D. Production from the Gamma Main structure in the
Statfjord Formation started in the spring of 2008 with two wells from the Oseberg Field Center.
The facilities at the field center process oil and gas from the fields Oseberg st, Oseberg Sr and
Tune. The Plan for Development and Operation (PDO) for the northern part of Oseberg was
confirmed on 19 January 1988. The PDO for Oseberg D was approved on 13 December 1996,
for Oseberg Vestflanke on 19 December 2003 and for Oseberg Delta on 23 September 2005.
The oil from the field is produced by maintenance of pressure through gas and water injection
and by water gas injection (WAG). Injection gas used for pressure maintenance was previously
brought from Troll st (TOGI) and Oseberg Vest. Other smaller parts of the field produce by
pressure depletion.
The field has been producing since 1 December 1988. Plateau oil production of 81,000 Sm3 per
day ended in 1997.[1] Current production (total for 2009 to September) as per stats is 3.788063
mill S m3 of oil, 2.926727 bill Sm3 of gas, 0.462964 mill tonn of NGL.[3][10]
Geology
Regional setting
The Oseberg field is one of a series of hydrocarbon accumulations within the Viking Graben.
This part of the northern North Sea has been affected by two main rift episodes; in the Permo-
Triassic and the mid-late Jurassic. This leads to complex variations of the earlier syn-rift
sequence thickness across the later rift structures. In the Oseberg area, the major faults formed
during these two phases dip in opposite directions and the size of the earlier basins are typically
double the size of the later. The east-tilted Late Jurassic Oseberg structure is underlain by a
larger-scale west-tilted Permo-Triassic half-graben.[11]
Reservoirs
The main reservoirs are sandstones of the Middle Jurassic Oseberg, Rannoch, Etive, Ness and
Tarbert formations of the Brent Group. These are the deposits of prograding delta systems, with
an overall shallowing upwards as the delta filled the available accommodation space. The
Oseberg formation represents the deposits of a series of sand-rich deltas that advanced
westwards from the Norwegian coastline. The rest of the group are the deposits of the massive
northward prograding Brent delta system, which occupied the entire southern part of the Viking
graben area.[12] There is a progressive transition in the depositional environment from
subaqueous fans, through fan deltas and shoreface to delta plain.[13] The uppermost Tarbert
formation may represent reworked delta plain deposits at the onset of the marine transgression
shown by the overlying claystones of the Viking group.[14] The Brent Group reservoirs, which lie
at depths between 23002700 m, generally have excellent properties with porosities around 20
30% and permeabilities ranging up to several darcys.[15]
The Statfjord formation, which is of Ryazanian to Sinemurian age is separated from the Brent
Group by the Dunlin Group, which is a non-reservoir sequence. This means that there is
normally no communication between the Statfjord formation and the Brent Group reservoirs.
The Statfjord formation consists of massive sandstones. The lower boundary is taken at the
transition from red continental shales of the Lunde formation to the overlying sandstones. The
top of the unit, which consists of calcareous sandstones, shows a relatively sharp transition to the
dark shales and siltstones of the overlying Dunlin group. The depositional environment changes
from alluvial plain and braided stream deposits that make up the bulk of the formation to coarse
sandstones with pebble lags and channeling, thought to indicate a coastal environment. The
presence of glauconite and marine fossils in the uppermost sandstones indicate deposition in a
shallow marine environment.[16]
Structure
The trap is a group of three easterly dipping tilted fault blocks associated with westerly dipping
normal faults formed by rifting during the Late Jurassic on the east side of the Viking Graben.
The three main fault blocks are known as Alpha, Gamma and Alpha North. The eastern
boundary of the Oseberg fault blocks with the Horda Platform is formed by the major Brage
fault.[15] The structural dip is an average 610 degrees.[2]
Seal
The top seal is formed by Upper Jurassic Viking group or Lower Cretaceous Cromer Knoll
claystones.[17] There is also evidence in the Oseberg area for some element of fault seal.[18]
Sources
The oil in Oseberg is sourced from the Upper Jurassic Draupne formation, equivalent to the
Kimmeridge Clay formation. Oils generated in at least two different 'kitchens' have been
identified within the Oseberg area. The gas is likely to be sourced from over-mature Draupne
formation in the deepest part of these kitchens.[17]
Reserves
Initial recoverable reserves for the Oseberg field are estimated as 366.4 million Sm3 oil,
107.0 billion Sm3 gas and 9.3 million tonnes NGL. As of 31 December 2008 remaining
recoverable reserves were estimated at 21.1 million Sm3 oil, 85.6 billion Sm3 gas and 3.5 million
tonnes NGL.[3]
