Meridian Petroleum is an integrated oil and gas team focused on reliable, responsible, and technically sound petroleum operations. Our name reflects how we work: we set a clear course, connect disciplines, and keep every decision aligned with long-term value.
We connect people, industries, and markets through excellence in petroleum operations—upholding safety, integrity, efficiency, and environmental responsibility while creating lasting value for our partners and communities.
We aim to expand our reach, embrace innovation, develop our people, and continuously improve how energy is produced and delivered—setting a clear direction for tomorrow.
Our services bring geological, engineering, commercial, and HSE decisions into one coordinated development workflow.
Geological interpretation, reservoir characterization, uncertainty mapping, and opportunity screening.
Target definition, trajectory and casing design, drilling-program development, and operational risk control.
Dynamic assessment, reserves evaluation, waterflood analysis, forecasting, and development optimization.
Completion strategy, nodal analysis, surveillance planning, flow assurance, and facility-constraint review.
CAPEX and OPEX framing, scenario comparison, economic screening, and decision-quality support.
Hazard identification, barrier thinking, environmental responsibility, and multidisciplinary project coordination.
Ekofisk is the focus of our current integrated field study and proposed new-well concept. All field context is gathered here as one project story—from location and geology to recovery strategy and opportunity.
Ekofisk lies in block 2/4, around 320 km southwest of Stavanger, in approximately 70 metres of water.
Discovered in 1969 and brought into production in 1971, Ekofisk became the first producing field on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. It remains a landmark in offshore development and enhanced recovery.
The productive intervals are naturally fractured chalk in the Late Cretaceous Tor Formation and early Paleocene Ekofisk Formation. High porosity, low permeability, water injection, and chalk compaction shape the field’s production behavior.

Each member owns a technical or commercial workstream while contributing to integrated decisions across the project.
GeologistBuilds the geological framework, correlates stratigraphy and well information, evaluates reservoir quality and structural uncertainty, and helps define the most defensible well target.
Drilling EngineerDevelops the well trajectory, casing and drilling concept; evaluates hydraulics, time, cost, and equipment needs; and integrates well-control and operational risk into the drilling program.
Reservoir EngineerIntegrates static and dynamic data, assesses pressure and waterflood behavior, estimates reserves, forecasts well performance, and supports placement through reservoir modeling and uncertainty analysis.
Production EngineerDesigns the production and completion concept, evaluates well deliverability and nodal performance, reviews facility constraints, and plans surveillance and optimization across the well lifecycle.
Economist & HSEFrames CAPEX, OPEX, project value, and scenario economics while coordinating HSE risk assessment, critical barriers, environmental considerations, and decision-ready project assurance.
Our next step is to develop an integrated concept for a new infill well. The objective is to reach remaining hydrocarbons while managing mature-field uncertainty, drilling risk, produced-water challenges, and project economics.
Discuss the projectIntegrate geological interpretation, offset-well performance, pressure behavior, and remaining-oil potential to rank candidate locations.
Geology + reservoirDefine trajectory, casing philosophy, drilling-fluid window, completion approach, and the operational sequence needed to reach the target safely.
Drilling + productionCompare production cases, costs, schedule, economic value, HSE barriers, and environmental considerations under a transparent range of uncertainties.
Economics + HSEBuild an execution-ready plan with performance indicators, surveillance requirements, decision gates, and feedback loops for continuous optimization.
