Description
- The main Gullfaks field lies in block 34/10 in the northern part of the Norwegian North Sea. It has been developed with three large concrete production platforms.
- All three oil fields are tied back to the Gullfaks A platform, where produced gas is reinjected.
- The Gullfaks Satellite field development consists of the Gullfaks South, Rimfaks and Gullveig fields
- The Gullfaks Rimfaks valley development will consist of a standard subsea template with two simple gas production wells, and possibilities of connecting two more wells. The well stream will be connected to the existing pipeline to the Gullfaks A platform

+++ Geology
- The Gullfaks reservoirs consist of Middle Jurassic sandstones of the Brent Group, and Lower Jurassic and Upper Triassic sandstones of the Cook, Statfjord and Lunde Formations. The reservoirs lie 1 700 – 2 000 metres below sea level. The Gullfaks reservoirs are located in rotated fault blocks in the west and a structural horst in the east, with a highly faulted area in-between.
- The drive mechanisms are water injection, gas injection and water/alternating gas injection (WAG). The drive mechanisms vary between drainage areas in the field, with water injection as the main strategy.
