Abstract
Abstract The Kraken and Kraken North fields lie in the UK Continental Shelf Block 9/2b on the East Shetland Platform. Hydrocarbons are stratigraphically trapped within Heimdal Sandstone Member of the Lista Formation. The fields lie at around 3900 ft true vertical; depth subsea and the oil is heavy (13–15°API) and viscous. The field is developed via a waterflood scheme with long horizontal production and injection wells, alternating across the field. To date, 21 development wells have been drilled, with further wells planned. Reservoir quality is extremely good with porosity around 36% and permeabilities in the range of 2–10 D. The field is produced via the Armada Kraken floating production storage and offloading vessel. Developed stock tank oil originally in place is in the region of 400 MMbbl, with further currently undeveloped resources to the west of the field.
