General information

Current activity status:	PRODUCING
Discovery wellbore:	34/10-48 S
Discovery year:	2004
Discoveries included:	34/8-12 S

Description Norwegian

Development

Gimle is a small oil field in the northern part of the North Sea. The water depth in the area is about 220 metres. The field is tied to the Gullfaks C facility by two production wells and one water injection well drilled from Gullfaks C.

Reservoir

The reservoir consists of sandstones of the Tarbert Formation of Middle Jurassic age, in a downfaulted structure northeast ofthe Gullfaks field. There is also slumped sands of Late Jurassic age. The reservoir depth is about 2 900 metres, and the reservoir has good quality.

Recovery strategy

The field is recovered by pressure support from water injection.

Transport

The production from Gimle is processed on the Gullfaks C facility and transported together with oil and gas from the Gullfaksfield.

Status

The drilling of new wells is being considered in the long term.
