The Veslefrikk field is located at a depth of 607ft in block 30 / 3 of the northern part of the North Sea. The field was discovered in 1981 and lies about 30km north of Oseberg, Norway.
The Jurassic Veslefrikk reservoir is located at depths ranging between 2,800m and 3,200m. The field reservoir is made of the Brent and Dunlin Groups and the Statfjord formations.
The field’s main reservoir is of the Brent Group formation, which contains 80% of the reserves.
The field is estimated to contain 36.4 million barrels of oil and 141bcf of gas.
Statoil declared the Veslefrikk field commercial in 1986 and commenced detailed engineering in October 1987. The plan for development and operations (PDO) of the field was approved in 1987. The field came onstream in 1989 and achieved peak production in 1990.
Statoil drilled 14 production wells, five water alternate gas injection wells, four water injection wells and one gas injection well. All the wells are tied back to the Veslfefrikk A fixed platform, which is connected through a bridge to the Veslefrikk B semisubmersible facility. More details
