Aganooki Oil and Gas Field - Aganooki Gas Field

Japanese: 阿賀沖油・ガス田 - あがおきゆガスでん
Aganooki Oil and Gas Field - Aganooki Gas Field
Discovered in 1972, this is Japan's first full-scale offshore oil and gas field, and began production in 1976. It is located about 15 km northeast of Niigata City, offshore at a depth of 80 m. The geological structure that forms this oil and gas field is dome-shaped at shallow depths, but forms two anticlines, east and west, at depths, with oil and gas deposits near the tops of these two anticlines. The gas-producing layer is a sandstone layer in the lower Pliocene Nishiyama Formation, and the oil-producing layer is a sandstone layer in the upper Miocene Shiiya Formation, both at depths of about 1,800 to 2,300 m. A dual-purpose drilling and production platform has been installed on the seabed at a depth of 82 m, almost in the center of the two anticlines, and 14 production wells have been drilled from this location.
