Fram

Illustrative picture of subsea pipes

The Fram oil finds in the North Sea comprise the Fram Vest and Fram Øst fields.

The fields are located about 20 kilometers north of the Troll field at a depth of approximately 350 meters.

Both field developments consist of subsea installations connected via pipelines to the Troll C platform. The well streams from the fields are processed on this platform.

Fram vest

The Norwegian government approved the plan for the development of the Fram Vest field on March 23, 2001, and production started on October 2, 2003.

Fram Vest is developed with two four-well subsea templates, and the field will produce for 15 years. The plateau production rate from January 1, 2004 is just over 60,000 barrels of oil a day.

The gas is reinjected into the Fram Vest reservoir as pressure support, while the oil is transported to the Mongstad refinery through Troll Oil Pipeline II.

The development costs for the Fram Vest field were NOK 3.6 billion.

Fram øst

The Norwegian government approved the plan for the development of the Fram Øst field on April 22, 2005, and production commenced on October 30, 2006.

Like Fram Vest, this field is developed with two four-well subsea templates. The production is exported through Troll Pipeline II to Mongstad.

Produced water from Troll C will be used as pressure support in the Fram Øst reservoir. This contributes to significant positive environmental gains through reductions in emissions to the sea in the Troll field.

Fram Øst has also been developed to enable it to utilize gas from Troll C for injection, to increase recovery rates from the wells.

The development costs for the Fram Øst field were NOK 2.4 billion.

FRAM H-NORD

Located north of the Fram field at a water depth of 360 meters. The production is sent to Fram Vest and then to Troll C for processing. The production started in 2014.
