Goliat field is an offshore
floating production storage and offloading unit.[2]
Goliat field has two main formations (Kobbe and Realgrunnen) and two minor formations (Snadd and Klappmyss).oil recovery or will be transported to the processing plant at Melkøya.[2] Production takes place through a subsea system consisting of 22 wells, and of which 12 are oil producers, 7 water injectors and 3 gas injectors.[6]
The platforms operation has been halted temporarily in October 2017 due to some of the electrical equipment not being suitable for hazardous areas.[5]
A new reservoir was uncovered in 2018 in the southern Hammerfest Basin.[7]
