    Development
    Brage is a field in the northern part of the North Sea, ten kilometres east of the Oseberg field. The water depth is 140 metres. Brage was discovered in 1980, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 1990. The field has been developed with an integrated production, drilling and accommodation facility with a steel jacket. The production started in 1993. A PDO for Brage Sognefjord was approved in 1998. PDO exemptions were granted for the Brent Ness, Bowmore Brent and Talisker East Brent accumulations in 2004, 2007 and 2022, respectively.
    13.12.2023
    Reservoir
    Brage produces oil from sandstone of Early Jurassic age in the Statfjord Group, and sandstone of Middle Jurassic age in the Brent Group and the Fensfjord Formation. There is also oil and gas in Upper Jurassic sandstone in the Sognefjord Formation. The reservoirs are at depths of 2000-2300 metres. The reservoir quality varies from poor to excellent.
    13.12.2023
    Recovery strategy
    The recovery strategy in the Statfjord and Brent Groups and Fensfjord Formation is water injection. The Brent Group had earlier been produced by water alternating gas (WAG) injection. The Sognefjord Formation is produced by depletion with pressure support from the aquifer.
    13.12.2023
    Transport
    The oil is transported by pipeline to the Oseberg field and further through the Oseberg Transport System (OTS) pipeline to the Sture terminal. A gas pipeline is tied-back to Statpipe.
    28.02.2023
    Status
    Brage has been producing for a long time, and work is still ongoing to find new ways of increasing recovery from the field. New wells are being drilled.
