The Albuskjell oil and gas field was a crude oil and associated gas production field in the Norwegian sector of the central North Sea. Production of oil and gas started in 1979, peak oil and gas was achieved in 1982. Production ceased in 1998 and the field installations were dismantled by 2013.
The characteristics of the Albuskjell field reservoir are as follows.
The field was owned and operated by ConocoPhillips Skandinavia AS.
The Akbuskjell field was developed through two offshore installations:
The design production capacity of Albuskjell 'A' was 79,400 bopd (barrels of oil per day) and 274 mmscfd (million standard cubic feet per day) of gas. Initial separation was at 1,280 psia (88.3 bar).
The production capacity of Albuskjell 'F' was almost identical, 79,400 bopd and 273 mmscfd. Process facilities included gas dehydration and oily water treatment. Peak production was 80,000 bopd and 450 mmscfd in 1982.
Production from the Albuskjell field was by natural depletion. ÃÂ The oil, natural gas liquids (NGL) and gas production profile of the Albuskjell field is as shown.
Albuskjell ceased in production in 1998 and the installations were removed from the field in 2011 and 2013. Significant reserves remain in place and may be exploited in future.
