The document discusses Statoil's approach to increasing oil recovery and developing fields by imagining what could be possible through innovative technologies and strategies. It provides four examples:
1) The Troll field in Norway, where developing multi-lateral and branched wells allowed recovery from a previously uneconomic thin oil zone.
2) The Johan Sverdrup field in Norway, a large discovery that will be developed using proven technologies over 50 years.
3) The Peregrino field in Brazil, where increased recovery of 10 times the initial value was achieved through horizontal wells, reservoir management, and heavy oil processing.
4) The Bay du Nord discovery in Canada, which could open a new

3. WHY NOT & WHAT IF?
Troll Johan Sverdrup Peregrino Bay Du Nord
Troll
• What if we could recover the thin oil zone with multi-
lateral wells?
Johan Sverdrup
• What if oil migrated into that huge flat trap?
Peregrino
• What if we could buy it all, increase the recovery/de-risk it and then
farm down?
Bay Du Nord
• Why not execute our ‘access at scale’ strategy in the Flemish, believe in
what we are doing and then de-risk the 3 best high-impact prospects?

8. Troll Gas - A giant
• Tallest construction ever moved by man
− Height 472 m
− Weight > 1 million ton
− Power from shore
• Largest gas field in the North Sea
− ~40% of NCS gas reserves (50 Tcf)
− Gas to ~10 million European households
• Expected life time 2060+
9. Troll Oil - Impossible made possible
• None commercial oil field in 1980’s
− Vertical well technology
− Thin oil column (9 - 27 meter)
− Large area (770 km2)
• Largest oil producer on NCS 2013
− 120 subsea well slots
− 345 well branches (180 wells)
− 1 million meter reservoir drilled
− 2 100 million bbl reserve ambition
11. The challenge is becoming even harder….
• Wells located at OWC with thinner
oil zone and uneven OWC
• Reservoir length up to 15 000 m
per producer
• Valves along well path to choke
back gas and secure even inflow
• Controllable branches

12. … and we still work on future solutions
• More robust well concepts
− Fish bones, ditch wells, multi branched
• Dual gradient drilling
− Decreasing reservoir pressure - loss - drilling limitations
• Improved AICD technology
− Reduce inflow from water and gas producing intervals
• Improved logging tools to optimize well path
− Sand quality distribution in reservoir
− Distance to GOC

14. Johan Sverdrup
– the new giant at the Norwegian Shelf
• Among the largest oil discoveries at the NCS
• Resource estimate 1.8 – 2.9 billion boe
• At peak app. 25% of oil production at the NCS
• Plateau production of 550,000-650,000 boe/d
• 50 years of production
• Investment range USD 17 to 20 billion for phase 1
16. • Top quality permability
• Medium oil quality (28 API)
Johan Sverdrup
– excellent reservoir properties

(ms)
• Flat and large
• Need for pressure support
21. • More than 4 bill bbls of oil in place
• Heavy oil – 14 API; high viscosity
• Capacity of 100,000 bbl/d
• Over 63 million bbl produced since
April 2011
• Development Strategy:
• High reservoir exposure
• Flow assurance
• Continuous IOR EOR
• Marketing:
• Utilizing Statoil’s global marketing network

25. Peregrino Future Development
• Peregrino Phase II, developing South and
South West areas
• Additional value creation
− Peregrino C tie back to existing FPSO
− Increased competence on multiphasing
transportation allowed us to save to cost of
an FPSO
