Abstract
The Schoonebeek Oil Field, located in the eastern part of the Netherlands, is Europe’s largest onshore oilfield. The field was discovered in 1943, shut in since 1996 and in the final stages of being abandoned. The field STOIIP amounts to 165 mln m3 oil, with to date 40 mln m3 recovered from 599 production and injection wells drilled on a 250 m spacing. The reservoir comprises the 0-50m thick, darcy-permeability Bentheim sands. The Schoonebeek Field is currently re-developed using steam injection through a system of 70+ horizontal injector and producer wells. In the redevelopment area the Bentheim sandstone thickens towards the east, with a relatively constant 16-30m thickness.
