About the field

WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE

Development: Statfjord Øst is a field in the Tampen area in the North Sea, seven kilometres northeast of the Statfjord field. The water depth is 150-190 metres. Statfjord Øst was discovered in 1976, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 1990. The field has been developed with two subsea production templates and one water injection template, tied-back to the Statfjord C platform. In addition, two production wells have been drilled from Statfjord C. The production started in 1994.
Reservoir: Statfjord Øst produces oil from Middle Jurassic sandstone in the Brent Group. The reservoir is at a depth of 2400 metres and has good quality.
Recovery strategy: The field was originally produced with water injection but is now produced by pressure depletion, assisted by gas lift in the production wells.
Transport: The well stream is transported in two pipelines to the Statfjord C facility for processing, storage and export. Statfjord Øst, Statfjord Nord and Sygna have a shared process module on Statfjord C. Oil is loaded onto tankers and gas is exported through Tampen Link and the Far North Liquids and Gas System (FLAGS) pipeline to the UK.
Status: The field is affected by pressure depletion due to depressurisation of the Statfjord field. The lifetime extension of the Statfjord C facility opens for additional opportunities for the field. The focus going forward is on optimizing the wells and handling challenges related to sand production. A drilling campaign towards the end of 2026 is being considered.
