    Development
    Albuskjell is a field in the southern part of the Norwegian sector in the North Sea, 20 kilometres west of the Ekofisk field. The water depth is 70 metres. Albuskjell was discovered in 1972, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 1975. The field was developed with two steel installations for drilling and production. The production started in 1979.
    09.12.2023
    Reservoir
    Albuskjell produced gas and condensate from Maastrichtian and lower Paleocene chalk. The accumulation is located above a salt dome. The main reservoir is in the Upper Cretaceous Tor Formation, at a depth of 3200 metres. The overlying Ekofisk Formation has poorer reservoir quality and has hardly been drained. There are significant remaining resources.
    09.12.2023
    Recovery strategy
    The field was produced by pressure depletion.
    28.02.2023
    Transport
    The well stream was transported via pipeline to the Ekofisk Complex for export.
    28.02.2023
    Status
    Albuskjell was shut down in 1998, and the platforms were removed in 2011 and 2013, respectively. The field is currently being evaluated for redevelopment in combination with other decommissioned fields in the area.
