Intro
Brage is a fixed steel jacket platform in the northern North Sea, producing mainly oil with some gas since 1993. It integrates drilling, production and accommodation facilities and exports crude via pipeline to the Oseberg complex and onward through the Oseberg Transport System (OTS). It also exports gas via Statpipe to onshore processing.
Field
The Brage field lies ~120-km northwest of Bergen in the northern North Sea at ~140-m water depth. Discovered in 1980, it produces oil from sandstone in the Statfjord, Brent and Fensfjord formations, with additional volumes in the Sognefjord and Cook formations. Reservoir quality varies.
Facilities
Brage’s steel jacket facility hosts multiple production and injection wells with water injection as the primary recovery method and gas lift used in many wells. The platform includes two-stage separation, basic gas handling and utilities for power, water and control systems. Crude flows into the Oseberg infrastructure for export to Sture; associated gas ties into Statpipe to Kårstø. Accommodation, drilling and process modules are integrated into the topside. Long-term stability and corrosion management systems are designed for extended North Sea service life.
