List of oil and gas fields of the North Sea

List of oil and gas fields of the North Sea

This list of oil and gas fields of the North Sea contains links to oil and natural gas reservoirs beneath the North Sea. In terms of the oil industry, North Sea oil often refers to a larger geographical set, including areas such as the Norwegian Sea and the UK "Atlantic Margin" (west of Shetland) not, strictly speaking, part of the North Sea.

Associated, but not strictly North Sea

* Ireland (includes Northern Ireland)
** Onshore
*** Larne; tiny prospect under the basalts.
*** Other small prospects, and significant coal-bed methane.
** Offshore
*** Kinsale Head; gas development off the coast of Cork
*** Corrib Gas Field; about to start production to a controversial onshore processing plant
*** Inishbeg; prospect announced to the NW of Donegal. Due to be drilled August 2006.
* Faroes
** Offshore
*** Various blocks licensed for exploration, several discoveries not yet developed.Fact|date=April 2008
* Iceland
** Offshore
*** Nothing published, but the idea is not inconceivable on the ridges extending towards Iceland from the Faroes and the East Greenland Coast.
* East Greenland
** Onshore
*** No prospects reported, though sediments analogous to the Mesozoic and Caenozoic deposits of the North Sea are known, so there is appreciable interest. Development would be formidably difficult, technically, logistically and politically.
** Offshore
*** A recent conference on hydrocarbon prospects in arctic Russia (Geological Society, London; February 2006) had several speakers mention major gas prospectivity on the East Greenland coast, but they cited no sources. A conference volume is due towards the end of 2006, which may elaborate.
* Barents Sea
** Onshore
*** No significant prospects or potential.
** Offshore
*** Significant exploration, appraisal and development. Major discoveries the Snøhvit gasfield, operated by StatoilHydro in Norwegian sector and the Stokhmanovskoye gasfield planned to be operated by Gazprom in Russian sector.
