Abstract
Ekofisk Field, discovered in late 1969, was the first commercial discovery in the Norwegian Sector of the North Sea. The field has produced some 856 million barrels of oil and 2.6 trillion standard cubic feet of gas through 1988. Almost all of this has been primary production with solution gas drive and compaction playing major roles.
