Edvard Grieg oil field

The Edvard Grieg oil field is an oil field on the Utsira High. It was discovered in 2007 and expected to hold around 150 million barrels of oil.
The field is operated by Aker BP who has 50% share of ownership, while the rest is shared between OMV, Statoil and Wintershall.
Production commenced in November 2015. Oil is recovered using pressure from water injection. It is transported by pipeline to the Sture terminal on the Norwegian mainland. Gas is also extracted and transported through a different pipeline to Great Britain.
The reservoir is located 1,900 meters deep and is formed by a conglomerate from the Late Triassic to Early Cretaceous.
The field is named after Norwegian composer and pianist Edvard Grieg.
