Description
Description TypeTextDate updatedDevelopmentFram is a field in the northern part of the North Sea, 20 kilometres north of the Troll field. The water depth is 350 metres. Fram was discovered in 1990 and comprises two main structures, Fram Vest and Fram Øst, with several deposits. The plan for development and operation (PDO) for Fram Vest was approved in 2001, and production started in 2003. The PDO for Fram Øst was approved in 2005, and production started in 2006. Both structures are developed with two subsea templates each, tied-back to the Troll C facility. A PDO exemption for Fram C-Øst was approved in 2016; the development included a long oil producer drilled from the B2-template on Fram Øst. Another PDO exemption was granted in 2018 for two wells in the Fram-Øst Brent reservoir, drilled from one of the existing templates on Fram Øst.25.02.2020ReservoirFram produces oil and associated gas from sandstone of Middle Jurassic age in the Brent Group, and from Upper Jurassic sandstone in a marine fan system in the Draupne Formation and the shallow marine Sognefjord Formation. The reservoirs have a gas cap and lie in several isolated, rotated fault blocks at 2,300-2,500 metres depth. The reservoir in Fram Vest is complex. The reservoirs in Fram Øst are generally of good quality.25.02.2020RecoveryThe Fram Øst deposit in the Sognefjord Formation is produced by injection of produced water as pressure support, in addition to natural aquifer drive. The Brent reservoirs in Fram Øst are produced by pressure support from natural aquifer drive. Gas lift is used in the wells. Oil production from Fram is restricted by the gas processing capacity at the Troll C facility. The gas blow-down phase, production of the gas cap, has started at Fram Vest.25.02.2020TransportThe well stream is transported by pipeline to the Troll C facility for processing. The oil is transported further by the Troll Oil Pipeline II to the Mongstad terminal, and the gas is exported via the Troll A facility to the Kollsnes terminal.25.04.2019StatusProduction from the field will increase when the new gas module dedicated to Fram becomes available on Troll C in early 2020.25.02.2020 -
