A Unique Norwegian Giant - The Johan Sverdrup Oilfield

The Johan Sverdrup oilfield in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea is in a surprising location. It is the 3rd largest field in Norway and is expected to produce almost 1 billion bbls over the field life.

There are numerous videos out there about the project development and production facilities but here we focus on the geology.

Johan Sverdrup was discovered in 2010 and commenced production in 2019. The main reservoir is Upper Jurassic, with the Draupne Shale acting as a top seal. The trapping mechanism is a half-graben. Interestingly, Johan Sverdrup is to the East of the Viking Graben with the Haugaland High in between the field and the source kitchen.

Initially thought to be 2 separate fields (Alvadnes & Aldous), they were determined to have the same oil-water contact.
