Kotter and Logger oil and gas fields

Kotter and Logger oil and gas fields is a physics topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Kotter and Logger oil and gas fields rather than just read about it. In short: The Kotter and Logger oil and gas fields are mid-size fields located in the Netherlands sector of the North Sea, about 40 km west of Den Helder and 107 km north west of Amsterdam. The Kotter and Logger oil fields produced oil from 1984/5 to 2015.

Key takeaways

Kotter and Logger oil and gas fields belongs to physics; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Kotter and Logger oil and gas fields to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Kotter and Logger oil and gas fields from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The Kotter and Logger oil and gas fields are mid-size fields located in the Netherlands sector of the North Sea, about 40 km west of Den Helder and 107 km north west of Amsterdam. The Kotter and Logger oil fields produced oil from 1984/5 to 2015.

The fields The Kotter oil and gas fields are located in Block K18 of the Netherlands sector of the southern North Sea. The oil reservoir is a Cretaceous/Jurassic sandstone at a depth of 7,500 feet (2,300 metres) and comprises two accumulations in Vieland and Delfland sands. The gas reservoir is an Upper Rotliegendes sandstone at a depth of 4,217 to 4,337 metres, below Zechstein salt. The Logger oil field is in the adjacent Block L16 and is also a Cretaceous/Jurassic sandstone lying at a depth of 7,215 feet (2,199 metres), it has a thickness of 10 to 30 metres. The Kotter oil field was discovered by Conoco in August 1980, the Logger oil field in March 1982, and the Kotter gas field in 1992, both also discovered by Conoco. The properties of the reservoir/ wellhead fluids are:

Development The Kotter and Logger oil fields were developed though a number of platform installations.

Oil from Logger was exported to Kotter. Oil from Kotter was exported to the Helder A platform and the combined flow sent to Amsterdam. Produced gas from both oil fields was flared. The K18-FB gas field adjacent to Kotter is a stranded asset with no gas transportation infrastructure and remains undeveloped. The Logger installation had a water injection capability of up to 4 injection wells. Injection water was transferred from Kotter to Logger through a 19 km 6-inch pipeline. The Kotter production facility was originally designed for these throughputs.

The Logger installation had a production capacity of 10,000 bbl/d of oil. The K18 Golf facility aimed to produce 1.0 to 1.4 million cubic metres of gas per day. The Kotter and Logger fields were originally owned and operated by Conoco until they were taken over by Wintershall. Production ceased in 2015 and the wells and installations were decommissioned and decontaminated. The platforms and jackets were removed from the field in 2019.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Kotter and Logger oil and gas fields

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Kotter and Logger oil and gas fields claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Kotter and Logger oil and gas fields before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Kotter and Logger oil and gas fields ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Kotter and Logger oil and gas fields

In research: Kotter and Logger oil and gas fields appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Kotter and Logger oil and gas fields in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Kotter and Logger oil and gas fields is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Lists of oil and natural gas fields, North Sea energy, Oil fields in the Netherlands, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Kotter and Logger oil and gas fields outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
