- Development
- Mime is a field in the southern part of the Norwegian sector in the North Sea, six kilometres northeast of the Cod field. The water depth is 80 metres. Mime was discovered in 1982, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 1992. The field was developed with a subsea well tied to the Cod facility. The production started 1993.
- Reservoir
- Mime produced oil from sandstone of Late Jurassic age in the Ula Formation. The reservoir depth is 4200 metres.
- Recovery strategy
- The filed was produced by pressure depletion.
- Transport
- The well stream from Mime was mixed with gas and condensate from the Cod field and transported to the Ekofisk Complex. The oil was transported further to Teesside in the UK, whereas the gas was used at the Ekofisk Complex.
- Status
- Mime was shut down in 1993, and the facility was removed in 1999.
