The Goliat field was discovered in year 2000 by Agip Norway, the company which now is called ENI Norway.
The field is located about 50 km from the Snøhvit gas field. Reserves are estimated to 200 million barrels.
Goliat has two separate main reservoirs Kobbe and Realgrunnen. Both contain oil with an overlying gas cap. Additional, minor oil discoveries were found in the Snadd and Klappmyss formations.
The project installation period is planned for June-July 2010 and May-August 2011.
Eni Norge AS is operator of the project with a 65 percent stake, while StatoilHydro ASA is partner with a 35 percent stake.
Goliat production from year 2013
Goliat Platform
Energy company ENI intends to start production at its Arctic oil field Goliat off northern Norway in year 2013, the company confirmed today.
"In November 2013 we plan to start production," Eni's Northern Europe chief Alessandro Puliti said at the Arctic Frontier conference in Tromsø, northern Norway, today, Reuters reports.
Earlier, Eni had said Goliat would be on stream sometime during 2013. "Goliat is expected to generate some 150 to 200 offshore and onshore jobs," Puliti said.
The development, which will include 22 wells connected to a floating production vessel, instead of a traditional concrete platform, is expected to cost more than 28 billion NOK, the news agency reports.
