Field and context

The Kraken oil field lies in the East Shetland Basin and produces heavy oil from Upper Jurassic sandstone reservoirs. Discovered in 1985, the field is characterized by viscous crude and relatively shallow reservoirs. Development uses subsea wells tied back to a central FPSO with shuttle tanker export.
