How to extract 10%
more oil from the Gullfaks
Field?
When the Gullfaks Field came on
production in 1986, Statoil planned that
46% of the oil present in the field
could be recovered. Today, more than 25
years later, the current plan calls for
a recovery factor of 70%. The
improvement is due to the technology
development since then. The
Gullfaks Village is part of this
development, and every year the student
groups are addressing new challenges
related to better recovery of oil.
|
As early as 2000 NTNU
and Statoil agreed on
establishing an Experts in Team village
at NTNU where student groups are
challenged to find new solutions to
current problems related to the
production of the Gullfaks
Field.
The
entire database of the Gullfaks Field
is installed and regularly updated at
the Department of
Petroleum Engineering and
Applied Geophysics at NTNU.
The data will be an important basis
for all project work in the village.

|
The group projects will naturally have a
basis in petroleum geosciences and
petroleum engineering, however, students
from other technology areas are
welcomed. Sufficient
training will be given as needed. Each
group will consist of students from
various study programs in order to form
a multidisciplinary team. Each group
will be assigned advisors both from NTNU
and Statoil.
The second day of the Gullfaks Village a
group of experts fra Statoil in Bergen
will spend a full day with the student
groups presenting current challenges in
production of the Gullfaks Field. The
actual group projects will be defined by
the groups after that. The entire
village will go to Bergen early in the
semester in order to discuss progress
with the advisors from Statoil.
