Gullfaks field geology. Gullfaks is an oil and gas field in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea operated by Equinor. The seven fields in the Gullfaks area are found in sandstones of early and middle Jurassic age, 1800 – 4000 m sub sea (Ref. The document provides information about the Gullfaks oil field data set used in Petrel geological modeling software. The Gullfaks field contains oil reserves on the order of 230 million standard m 3. The Gullfaks field is a classic North Sea oil field with rotated fault blocks trending in a North-South direction. [1] Jan 1, 1998 · The present study of the Gullfaks Field, located in the Norwegian North Sea Gullfaks sector, identifies the shallowest structural elements. The study discusses various formations within the field including the Broom, Rannoch, Etive, Ness, and Tarbert Formations, illustrating their unique sedimentary features and implications for petroleum geology. The reservoirs consist of delta sandstones from the Middle Jurassic Brent Group, shallow-marine Lower Jurassic Cook Formation sandstones, and the fluvial-channel and delta-plain Lower Jurassic Statfjord Formation. It was formed during the Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous as a sloping high, with a westward structural dip gradually decreasing toward the 2 days ago · The field has been developed with three integrated processing, drilling and accommodation facilities with concrete bases (Gullfaks A, B and C). This paper presents a detailed geological setting of the Gullfaks Field, focusing on the petroleum system that underpins hydrocarbon accumulation. The study discusses various formations within the field including the Reservoir Description The Gullfaks oil field is located in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea, in block 34/10, approximately 175 km northwest of Bergen, see Figure 1: The reservoir units are sandstones of early and middle Jurassic age,. There are several reasons for this, but the main one is the complex fault pattern that intersects and divides the field into many small fault blocks. Two structurally distinct sub-areas have been revealed (a major domino system and an Jan 1, 1992 · The Gullfaks giant oil field in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea was discovered in 1978. In addition, the integration of the results with analyses of dipmeter data, well log correlation data, seismic data and field analogue data yields important information on the general structural Abstract" The large amount of structural data available from the Gullfaks Field have been used to unravel the structural characteristics of the area. It was discovered in 1978, in block 34/10, at a water depth of 130-230 meters. The Gullfaks Field has been described as the most complex structure so far developed in Norwegian waters. The Gullfaks facilities are involved in production and transport from Tordis, Vigdis, Snorre, Visund, Visund Sør and Brime. 1). It is in operation by Statoil since 1986. Key elements such as source rocks, maturation processes, and reservoir characteristics are evaluated, with particular emphasis on the Draupne Formation as the primary source rock. Location and Geology The Gullfaks field is situated in the Tampen area of the North Sea, at water depths ranging from 130 to 220 meters. Gullfaks B has a simplified processing plant with first stage separation. Key details include: - Gullfaks is a major North Sea oil field operated by Statoil, discovered in 1979 at 135m depth containing reservoirs from 1700-2000m below sea level. Gullfaks represents the shallowest structural element of the Tampen spur. Glufaks is an oil & gas field in Norwegian part of the Noth Sea shelf. Reservoir quality is generally very high, with permeability ranging from tens of mD to several Darcys depending on layer and location. Mar 1, 2001 · Comprehensive analyses of more than 8 km of core data from the Gullfaks area, northern North Sea, have proven invaluable for a thorough understanding of the detailed deformation characteristics. s5b iy oqg 3do 5vqebt fg8pw jznj u2ewh rp xtoxmp
