GormJul 29, 2007Gorm is an anticlinal structure partly due to salt tectonics. A major fault extending north-south divides the field into two reservoir blocks. The western reservoir block is intersected by numerous, minor faults. In 1989, water injection was initiated in the reservoir. Oil production from the field is based on extending the use of water injection to the whole field. Water is injected into the water and oil zones of the field. If gas exports to Tyra are interrupted, the gas is injected into the Gorm Field.
DanJul 29, 2007Recovery from Dan is based on the simultaneous production of oil and injection of water. Water injection was initiated in 1989, and later high-rate water injection was introduced in large sections of the field. The high pressure involved causes the injected water to fracture the chalk, ensuring the rapid distribution of water throughout the reservoir. Injecting large amounts of water quickly stabilizes and builds up the reservoir pressure in the oil zone. The recovery of oil is optimized by flooding the largest possible reservoir volume with water.
DagmarJul 29, 2007The Dagmar Field is a satellite development to Gorm including one unmanned production platform of the STAR type. The unprocessed production is transported to the Gorm F platform in the Gorm Field, where special facilities for handling the sour gas from the Dagmar Field have been installed. The relatively small amount of gas produced from Dagmar is flared due to the high content of hydrogen sulphide.
RegnarJul 29, 2007Production in the Regnar Field is carried on from a vertical well drilled in the crest of the structure. The oil is forced towards the production well by water flowing in from the water zone. The production strategy is to displace and produce as much of the oil as possible from the tight part of the formation, the matrix.
Danish Licences and ExplorationJul 29, 2007The award of 14 new licences in the 6th Licensing Round in 2006 has created the basis for extensive exploration activity in the years to come. In 2005, two 3D/4D seismic surveys and several 2D seismic surveys were carried out in Danish territory, and the area surveyed seismically was thus the largest in five years.
