About the field
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
- Development
- Cod is a field in the southern part of the Norwegian sector in the North Sea, 75 kilometres northwest of the Ekofisk field. The water depth is 75 metres. Cod was discovered in 1968, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 1973. The field was developed with a combined drilling, production and accommodation facility. The production started in 1977.
- Reservoir
- The Cod field produced gas and condensate from deep-marine turbiditic sandstone of Paleocene age in the Forties Formation. Cod has a complex structure with several separate reservoirs at a depth of 3000 metres.
- Recovery strategy
- The field was produced by pressure depletion.
- Transport
- The well stream was sent via pipeline to the Ekofisk Complex for export.
- Status
- Cod was shut down in 1998. The facility was removed in 2013, and the production licence area was relinquished in 2022.
