Field and context

The Hibernia field lies in the north-western Jeanne d’Arc Basin on the Grand Banks offshore Newfoundland. The primary reservoir is the Lower Cretaceous Hibernia Formation, comprising fluvial-deltaic sandstone within a faulted anticline. Secondary production comes from shallower Ben Nevis–Avalon shallow-marine sandstones. This giant, highly faulted oil accumulation is developed mainly by directional and extended-reach wells drilled from the central gravity-based platform.
