Grane oil field

Grane (Norwegian: Granefeltet) is an offshore oil field in the North Sea located 185 km (115 mi) west of the city of Haugesund on the western coast of Norway.

[1] It is Norway's first heavy crude oil production field and Statoil's largest heavy oil field in the Norwegian continental shelf.

With the first horizontal well drilled, Hydro already reached a peak production by 10 March 2006 setting a record at 243 thousand barrels per day (38.6×10^3 m3/d) which exceeded the initially established field plan by about 30 thousand barrels (4.8×10^3 m3).

From then on, the field supplied the market an average 220 thousand barrels per day (35×10^3 m3/d).
