Goliat field is an offshore oil field in the Norwegian sector of the Barents Sea. It is located 85 kilometres (53 mi) northwest of Hammerfest.[1] The license owned by Eni Norge AS (operator, 65%) and Statoil Petroleum AS (35%). It was awarded in 1997. Oil was discovered in 2000.[1][2] The field development concept was approved by the Government of Norway on 8 May 2009.[3] The field will be developed by using Goliat FPSO, a floating production storage and offloading unit.[2]
Goliat field has two main formations (Kobbe and Realgrunnen) and two minor formations (Snadd and Klappmyss).[2] Recoverable reserves are 174 million barrels (27.7×106 m3).[1] The production is expected to start in 2013 and will continue for 10–15 years. The associated gas will be reinjected to increase oil recovery or will be transported to the processing plant at Melkøya.[2]
