The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) is the state oil corporation through which the federal
government of Nigeria regulates and participates in the country's petroleum industry.
NNPC was established on April 1, 1977 as a merger of the Nigerian National Oil Corporation and the Federal
Ministry of Mines and Steel. NNPC by law manages the joint venture between the Nigerian federal
government and a number of foreign multinational corporations, which include Royal Dutch Shell, Agip,
ExxonMobil, Chevron, and Texaco (now merged with Chevron). Through collaboration with these
companies, the Nigerian government conducts petroleum exploration and production. In 2007, the head of the
Nigerian wing of Transparency International said salaries for NNPC workers were too low to prevent graft.
Hi Sigve,

Consultant: Project within petrophysics and geology. Data collection and data base development.
The Badger Explorer is a revolutionary method to obtain subsurface data for oil&gas exploration, mapping of
hydrocarbon resources and long-term surveillance.The Badger Explorer drills and buries underground,
carrying a unique package of logging and monitoring sensors, at a substantially lower risk, cost and
complexity of utilising an expensive drilling rig.
The tool penetrates the sea bed and the subsurface by using a mechanical drill bit driven by an electrical
motor to loosen and crush the formation ahead of the tool. The crushed formation is transported through the
device and deposited in the void behind the tool. The tool carries an electrical cable, which is spooled up
inside the unit, connected to the surface and powers the electrical motors. The same cable is used for
continous transfer of data back to the surface.

IRIS - International Research Institute of Stavanger - is a recognised research institute with high focus on
applied research, equally owned by the University of Stavanger and the regional foundation
Rogalandsforskning. IRIS was established in 2006, as a result of a technical re-structuring of the ownership
of Rogaland Research.
Rogaland Research was established in 1973, and the continuation of its activities in IRIS provides IRIS with a
long and proud history right from the start. Research activities started in the area of social science, but
quickly developed to include petroleum.
Today IRIS remains an independent research institute with research and research-related activities in
petroleum, new energy, marine environment, biotechnology and social science and business development.
Mudlogger geologist (Petroleum engineer) at Geoservices
January 2003 - December 2005 (3 years)

• Reporting of geology
• Geology: Catching samples, lithology analyze, cuttings and cavings description and calcimetry analysis and

• Logistics: Sending equipment and samples onshore.
When working for Geoservices I was working indirectly for Lars Johan Skjold (Statoil) many times. When he
was coming to our working area he asked me for the answer to the geological interpretation. He also told me
that the best geologists were engineers because we described what we could see. The geologists were
describing what they thought they could see.
My leader Arie Romer wrote the following about me: Sigve has executed his work tasks to our full
satisfaction and therefore we give him the best recommendations.
Geoservices is the industry leader in mud logging, focusing on drilling support and formation evaluation.
Decision-ready information about well status is helping to drill better wells more efficiently. Timely and
more accurate information on reservoir fluid composition and lithology is detecting pay zones that would
otherwise be missed, assisting well placement, revealing reservoir connectivity and compartmentalization,
and guiding critical decisions.
Drilling Support
Obtain improved quality and higher level of analysis of surface data—including drilling speed, vibrations,
hole cleaning, and early kick detection—to enhance safety and optimize drilling operations.
Formation Evaluation Services
Use analysis of rock cuttings and gas in the drilling mud for understanding formation geology, efficient
hydrocarbon detection under all conditions including in deepwater and harsh environments, downhole fluid
characterization, early information on reservoir fluid composition, lithology logs, and isotope logging.

Geology evaluation and supervision when drilling the wells:
Ula (7/12-A-5 B & 7/12-a-05b-t2)
Ula (Norwegian: Ulafeltet) is an offshore oil field located in the southern Norwegian section of North Sea
along with Gyda, Tambar and Tambar East fields making up the UGT area, usually attributed to DONG
Energy's main areas of exploration and production activity. The Ula field was discovered in 1976 and came
online in October 1986. It contains confirmed 69.98 million m3 of oil and 2.5 million of NGL.
Ownership
Page19

20. BP is the operator of the field with 80% of interest in the project. BP's partner DONG Energy holds 20% of
interest. DONG Energy increased its initial share of 5% to 20% by acquiring Svenska Petroleum's complete
share of 15% for $130 million in 2008.
Production
Ula is located in approximately 70 m (230 ft) of water. The main reservoir stands at 3,345 m (10,974 ft) in the
Upper Jurassic Ula Formation. The field has three conventional steel facilities with production, drilling, living
quarters. It has 7 production and 2 water injection wells. Current production at Ula field is 10,000 bbl/d. The
existing gas process plant was recently extended with a new module, turbin and compressor and has been
operative since 2008. The gas from Blane field is injected into the Ula reservoir for production. The gas
produced at Ula field is re-injected into the field for increased recovery as well. The field is expected to be
abandoned in 2028. The produced oil is then transported by a pipeline to Ekofisk oil field and on to Teesside
for refining. In 2009, Aker Solutions was awarded a contract to tieback Ula field to Oselvar field. The work is
expected to commence in 2011. Once complete, the oil from DONG-operated Oselvar field which is 24
kilometres (15 mi) from Ula will be pumped to facilities at Ula for processing.

The Valhall complex consists today of six separate steel platforms for quarters, drilling, wellheads,
production, water injection, combined process- and hotel platform respectively. These platforms are
bridge-connected. In addition the field has two unmanned flank platforms, one in the south and one in the
north, both around 6 kilometers from the field center.
The Drilling Platform (DP)
Situated between QP and PCP. It has 30 well slots, waste injection and a drilling rig. The platform started its
activity on 17 December 1981, at that time with the first covered derrick. The derrick and drilling foundation
were removed during summer 2009 and a separate program for plug and abandonment is under development.
The Production Platform (PCP)
The final shut in of the platform took place late July 2012 and the production now takes place on the new
process and hotel platform The original PCP platform was built to process 168,000 barrels of oil and 350
million cubic feet of gas per day. The platform is 65 meters high and weighs 21,000 tons. The oil production
Page20

21. is piped to 2/4-J at the Ekofisk Center and goes to Teesside in England. The gas is transported directly via
Norpipe pipeline to Emden in Germany. The platform also processes oil and gas that comes from Hod.
The Wellhead Platform (WP)
Installed in April 1996 and first oil production started in June the same year. WP has 19 well slots. Total cost,
including drilling of the wells, is approx. 1,5 billion NOK.

Wellbore history
Well 6605/8-1 is an exploration well on a Late Cretaceous Lysing prospect situated on the western flank of
the Fles North rotated fault block structure in the Vøring Basin outside Mid Norway. The primary objective
was to test the presence of movable hydrocarbons in the Lysing prospect. A secondary objective was to
investigate the reservoir potential of the Nise Formation
Operations and results
Wildcat well 6605/8-1 was spudded in 838 m water depth with the semi-submersible installation Transocean
Leader on 14 June 2005 and drilled to TD at 4513 m in Late Turonian sediments of the Lange Formation.
Operations went without significant technical problems. No shallow gas or shallow water flow was observed.
The well was drilled with spud mud down to 2500 m and with KCl/Polymer/Glydril mud from 2500 m to TD.
The well penetrated the main target at 4184 m, a 70 m thick Lysing Formation deep-water turbidite sand of
Early Coniacian age. Gas was recorded from 4180 m. There were two gas zones separated by a water zone.
The upper zone had gas down to a free water level inferred at 4221 m (4193 m TVD MSL). The lower gas
zone, at 4253 m, was very thin and was approximately 20 bar overpressured compared to the upper zone. Gas
shows were also encountered in Early Campanian Nise siltstone at 3064 m and a deeper Lysing sandstone
unit at 4354 m.
One 9 m long core was taken in the interval 4190-4199 m in the upper Lysing reservoir. It contained
sandstones interbedded with thin mudstone layers. MDT fluid samples were taken at 4230.55 m (water),
4231.4 m (water), 4209.4 m (gas), 4211.86m (gas), and at 4253.5 m (gas which gave a dark brown/black
liquid when flashed). An MDT run in cased hole after the DST and almost 3 weeks after the last mud
circulation gave a maximum temperature of 146 deg C at 4230 m. This was believed to be close to the true
formation temperature.
The well was perm. abandoned 22 October as a gas discovery.

Gyda oil and gas field (2/1-A16 AY1 & 2/1-A16 AY1/T2)
Gyda is an offshore oil field located in the southern Norwegian section of North Sea along with Ula, Tambar
and Tambar East fields making up the UGT area, usually attributed to DONG Energy's main areas of
exploration and production activity.[2] The Gyda field was discovered in 1980 and started producing on June
21, 1990. The field contains confirmed 39.6 million m3 of oil and 6.6 billion cubic meter of natural gas.
Page22

23. Ownership:
Talisman Energy is the operator of the field with 61% of interest in the project. The full share was bought by
Talisman Energy in 2003 from the previous operator, BP for $82 million.[3] Partners of Talisman Energy,
DONG Energy and Norske AEDC AS (NAEDC),owned by Arabian Oil Company (AOC), hold 34% and 5%
interest in the project, respectively. holds 34%. Capital spending on Gyda was expected to be $131 million.
Production:
Gyda is located in approximately 66 m (217 ft) of water. The main reservoir stands at 4,000 m (13,000 ft) in
the Upper Jurassic Ula Formation. The field has one conventional steel facility with production, drilling,
living quarters. Gyda currently produces an average of 10,000 bbl/d (1,600 m3/d). The field also produces
excessive amount of water making the oil production stable. Due to the difficulties, the production license
was extended to 2018. Several new wells are currently being drilled. The produced oil is transported by a
pipeline to Ekofisk oil field and on to Teesside for refining.

Deep Sea Trym (6407/9-E-2H) Draugen oil producer
Draugen has the most produced approx. 225,000 barrels of oil a day. When the field was developed, there
was a planned average production of approx. 90,000 barrels a day, but the oil reservoir and the platform
proved to be able to produce more.
Oil is produced from a total of 11 wells, of which 6 are platform wells and 5 subsea wells. The produced oil is
stored in the seven storage cells in the bottom of the concrete shaft. Crude oil is loaded via a floating loading
buoy, about 3 kilometers east of the platform.
Facts:
Location: West of Kristiansund
Block Number: 6407/9
Operator: Norwegian Shell
Licenses: Shell (26.2%), Chevron Norway (7.56%), BP Norway (18.36%), Petoro (47.88%)
Discovered date: 07/09/1984
Reservoir Depth 1650
Produsjonsstart: October 1993
Draugen gas exports
The 10th October 2000 started exports of gas from Draugenfield. Draugenfield exports about. 1.5 Sm3 gas
per day via a dedicated 78 km pipeline of 16 "(inch) attached to Asgard Transport pipeline.
Ever since the start of oil production on Draugen there have been efforts to increase and prolong the
production. Yarn West is a site entirely west of the Draugenfield containing approx. 7.5 million Sm3 of
recoverable oil reserves. To map the area was made extensive use of 4D seismic (4-dimensional). This has
given very valuable information about the field and how the oil moves in the field. At the same time 4D
sesmikk information on where new wells should be placed.
A / S Norwegian Shell is continuously working to create the most value of the reserves in Draugen. This
benefits both the owners and the community. Therefore, considering one continuous drilling of new wells to
access the pockets of hydrocarbons that can be produced by the existing wells.
