Goliat pushing boundaries of Arctic offshore production | Offshore Goliat in the Barents Sea, which came onstream last March, is Norway's most northerly offshore oilfield development to date. The project The goal is to power the Goliat oil and gas field platform in the greenest way. The Goliat oil and gas field, 105 km off the northern coast of Norway, was discovered in 2000 and is operated by Eni Norge. The production of oil and gas from a FPSO (floating, production, storage and offloading) platform started in 2016. Reservoir Goliat produces oil from sandstone of Triassic age in the Kobbe and Snadd Formations, and in the Kapp Toscana Group (Realgrunnen subgroup) of Triassic to Jurassic age. The reservoirs have thin gas caps and are in a complex and segmented structure at depths of 1100-1800 metres. Recovery strategy OSLO-- Eni SpA's bid to begin pumping Arctic oil from the northern-most offshore oil platform in the world, already two years behind schedule and well over budget, has hit another snag as.

It will be stationed on the northeastern border of the Norwegian Sea later this year. The Goliat oil and gas field lies 105 kilometers off the northern coast of Norway in the Barents Sea. The field was discovered in 2000, and is scheduled to start producing oil and gas from a floating, production, storage and offloading (FPSO) platform in 2013. The field is operated by Eni Norge.

Goliat’s fight against decline in Arctic oil Eye on the Arctic

Goliat, for example, involves the extraction, production and storage of oil in the Barents Sea via a circular floating structure ( FPSO ), designed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and address the criticalities of the Arctic environment. The oil and gas company has entered into a collaboration with Odfjell Oceanwind and Source Galileo to pilot using floating offshore wind at the Goliat platform. Goliat, located in the Barents Sea.
