AbstractThe Balmoral Oilfield is a mature asset in its final phase of production. Associated with the Balmoral development have been the less significant Glamis and Stirling Fields. Each field is different from the perspective of geology and many other issues. Balmoral is a typical Paleocene oilfield with good water drive from a large regional aquifer. Interestingly this was not recognized at the start of the development when water injection facilities were commissioned. Glamis is a smaller field of Late Jurassic age containing somewhat lighter oil than Balmoral. Water injection has been necessary to maximize recovery in this field. Stirling is one of the few fields in the North Sea to produce commercially from the naturally fractured Devonian Sandstone. This field is developed by a single horizontal well.Balmoral oil recovery has significantly exceeded original expectations, whilst Glamis and Stirling have produced as much as expected.

The SPO Compact Flange System (SPO CFS) has for more than 10 years proven its ability to fulfil the most severe operational conditions in the North Sea. In view of the good experiences and desire for a wider market application for Compact Flanged Connections (CFC), an agreement for the right to use the patented SPO compact flange was negotiated between SPO and the two Norwegian oil companies, Statoil and Norsk Hydro, in 2001. The agreement also includes the right to establish a Norwegian petroleum industry NORSOK standard for CFC where the dimensional standard is based on the SPO compact flange design. The fact that this compact flange system fully comply with ASME codes and standards, also the ASME B 16.34 valve design standard, may create a significant market for this new standard. This paper describes the new NORSOK standard, which is expected to be published in 2002, and it outlines the advantages of the CFC and the field experience so far.
