Map of oil and gas fields. This list of oil and gas fields of the North Sea contains links to oil and natural gas reservoirs beneath the North Sea.In terms of the oil industry, "North Sea oil" often refers to a larger geographical set, including areas such as the Norwegian Sea and the UK "Atlantic Margin" (west of Shetland) which are not, strictly speaking, part of the North Sea.
The Ekofisk field is a north–south trending anticline, with a central graben, forming a structure that is 49 km 2 (19 sq mi) in area, with 244 m (801 ft) of vertical closure and a hydrocarbon column 305 m (1,001 ft) long, formed by Permian Zechstein salt movement in the form of salt pillows. [8]
In a comprehensive study of the potential of Arctic basins published in 2008, [11] the U.S. Geological Survey estimated that the waters off north-eastern Greenland, in the Greenland Sea north and south of the Arctic Circle, could potentially contain 50 billion barrels of oil equivalent (7.9 x 10^9 m^3) (an estimate including both oil and gas).

The Lun-A (Lunskoye-A) platform, located off the north eastern coast of Sakhalin Island and is a concrete gravity base substructure (CGBS).. An oil platform (also called an oil rig, offshore platform, oil production platform, etc.) is a large structure with facilities to extract and process petroleum and natural gas that lie in rock formations beneath the seabed.

The Melville Island oil sands are a large deposit of oil sands (sometimes referred to as tar sands) on Melville Island in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Exploration for petroleum deposits in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago began, on Melville Island, in 1961. [ 3 ]
This list of oil fields includes some major oil fields of the past and present. Countries by proven oil reserves 2017. The list is incomplete; there are more than 25,000 oil and gas fields of all sizes in the world. [1] However, 94 % of known oil is concentrated in fewer than 1,500 giant and major fields. [2]
The Dan field was discovered in May 1971 by the Britannia oil rig in Denmark Block 7.3 of the North Sea. [1] The reservoir is an Upper Cretaceous Danian chalk at a depth of 5,800 to 6,400 feet (1,768 to 1,951 metres). The oil has an API gravity of 30.4 and a gas oil ratio of 600 standard cubic feet per barrel (scf/bbl). The estimated ...
