These records have meant a lot in value terms. A world record has also been set 150 kilometres north-west of Kristiansund: no individual production well has produced more than 77 000 b/d. Production has lain at a level of more than 200 000 b/d of treated oil over many years, without water breakthrough. When it brought Draugen on stream from 19 October 1993, it quickly managed to bring up a lot more. When operator company Norske Shell applied to the government in the autumn of 1987 to develop the field, it planned to produce 90 000 barrels per day. A major article in Trondheim daily Adresseavisen hailed Draugen as the “jewel in the crown”: These records were also highlighted in the field’s 10th anniversary year. Whether these actually ranked as world records was not perhaps confirmed, but the quote demonstrates the importance of positive news in this period. Fotnote: Tidens Krav, 19 January 2000, “Har fullt fokus på midtnorsk sokkel”. This is the highest daily output from an individual well. The other record is that one Draugen well has produced 76 775 barrels of oil over a single day. This time, can claim the longest continuous period of production after 176 days without a shutdown. This article in Tidens Krav focused on Draugen’s many positive aspects and included the following comment:Ī couple of world records have also been set on Draugen. So Kristiansund’s local paper reported that Shell was fully committed to producing on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS), and mid-Norway in particular. Positive news about the field was important in 2000 after seven years on stream and with oil prices low.
