A jack up drilling rig towering over a small production platform represents good news about giant Ekofisk oil and gas field, currently a problem for operator Phillips Petroleum Co. Norway. The rig is preparing four pre-drilled wells to begin production this month. Embla reserves are estimated at 50 million bbl of oil, 5 million bbl of NGL, and 100 bcf of gas. The paper briefly describes the ground subsidence problems at the platform and plans for a new platform if the subsidence problem cannot be solved.
