Goliat (oil Platform)
Goliat field has two main formations (Kobbe and Realgrunnen) and two minor formations (Snadd and Klappmyss). Recoverable reserves are 174 million barrels (27.7×10 m). The production, which was expected to start in summer 2015 on Goliat oil platform, could only begin in April 2016. Goliat is the northernmost sea oil platform at the moment. Production is estimated to continue for 10–15 years. The associated gas will be reinjected to increase oil recovery or will be transported to the processing plant at Melkøya. Production takes place through a subsea system consisting of 22 wells, of which 12 are oil producers, 7 water injectors and 3 gas injectors. The platforms operation has been halted temporarily in October 2017 due to some of the electrical equipment not being suitable for hazardous areas.
A new reservoir was uncovered in 2018 in the southern Hammerfest Basin.
