Field
The Ula field in the southern Norwegian North Sea was discovered in 1976 and produces oil from Upper Jurassic sandstone reservoirs with associated gas reinjected for recovery enhancement. The field also processes hydrocarbons from Tambar, Blane and Oda satellite tie-backs.
Facilities
Ula's QP platform hosts modules for initial wellstream separation, gas compression and water handling, working in concert with bridge-linked platforms including DP (drilling) and PP (production/processing). The installation handles production from multiple wells, with utilities for power, water injection systems (including WAG), flare, and control systems coordinating with Ula field centre operations. Oil is exported via pipeline through the Ekofisk complex to Teesside; produced gas is reinjected for reservoir support. Processing trains include crude-oil separation, dehydration and metering, with comprehensive safety and automation for long-term service in ~70-m water depth.
