Eni Starts Production of Goliat
Eni has started production of the Goliat field, located 85 kilometers northwest of Hammerfest, within Production License 229, in a ice-free area in the Barents Sea off Norway. Goliat, the first oil field to start production in the Barents Sea, was developed through the largest and most sophisticated floating cylindrical production and storage vessel (FPSO) in the world. The Unit has a capacity of 1 million barrels of oil and was built with the most advanced technologies in order to tackle the technical and environmental challenges linked to operations in the Arctic’s context.

More Oil from Gullfaks - Statoil
Production from the Gullfaks South (GSO) fast-track project for improved oil recovery in the North Sea started on 27 July. GSO will increase the output from the Gullfaks area by around 65 million barrels of oil equivalent. "GSO demonstrates how we can increase recovery and profitability by use of standardised, simplified development solutions tied to existing infrastructure,” says Arild Dybvig, vice president for fast-track projects in Development & Production Norway. Production started three years after the project was approved. NOK 9 billion have been invested in the project.
Statoil: Oseberg Delta 2 on Stream
On 21 February Statoil and its partners started up production from Oseberg Delta 2 in the North Sea. The field’s recoverable reserves are estimated at 77 million barrels oil equivalent. Oseberg Delta 2 is the tenth project in Statoil’s fast-track portfolio to be completed. The field, which is tied back to the Oseberg Field Centre, has been developed using two subsea templates with capacity for a total of eight wells. The initial phase of the plan initially involves three oil producers and two gas injectors. “Delta 2 is an important element in extending the lifetime of Oseberg.
