Field

The Oseberg field, discovered in 1979 in ~100-m water depth, produces oil with associated gas from Jurassic sandstone reservoirs. The field is developed with multiple bridge-linked platforms forming a centre for processing and export.

Facilities

Oseberg B supports drilling and completion of production and water injection wells. It feeds wellstreams to central processing on Oseberg A and Oseberg D via bridge connections. Topside facilities include first-stage separation, injection and well services modules. Oil and condensate are piped through the Oseberg Transport System (OTS) to the Sture terminal; gas is routed into Oseberg Gas Transport (OGT) and onward export pipelines. Utilities include power generation, water handling, safety and flare systems, and integrated control rooms coordinating with the Oseberg Field Centre. Accommodation modules provide crew support for round-the-clock operations.
