Eni has started production of the Goliat field, located 85 kilometers northwest of Hammerfest, within Production License 229, in a ice-free area in the Barents Sea off Norway.
Goliat, the first oil field to start production in the Barents Sea, was developed through the largest and most sophisticated floating cylindrical production and storage vessel (FPSO) in the world. The unit has a capacity of 1 million barrels of oil and was built with the most advanced technologies in order to tackle the technical and environmental challenges linked to operations in the Arctic’s context.
The daily output will reach 100,000 barrels of oil per day (65,000 boed net to Eni). The field is estimated to contain reserves amounting to about 180 million barrels of oil.
In the Production License 229, Eni holds a 65% stake (operator), while Norway’s Statoil holds the remaining 35%.
