Eni Restarts Goliat Oil Production

Eni Norge has resumed production of oil on Goliat on December 17, 2017.

Maintenance and modification work has been conducted during a planned campaign during this fall.

Furthermore, Eni Norge said it has completed work following an order related to the electrical system issued by the petroleum authority in October this year.

According to Eni, the work was completed successfully in strong collaboration between management, work force and relevant technical disciplines. The maintenance and modification campaign was planned with the use of a floatel to allow for extra manning, enabling additional work scope to be carried out compared to original maintenance plan.

Eni Norge said it is working to further develop Goliat in order to maximise asset value. In 2017 the company developed and put in production the Snadd formation, adding 7,5 mboe and plans to drill two production wells as well as one appraisal well – Goliat West – in 2018 and has identified further exploration potential in the area. This should contribute to increased recovery rate, additional resources and further improve profitability of the Goliat field.
