==Introduction==
The western Hammerfest Basin is situated in the Barents Sea, north of Norway (Figure 1). It contains several gas discoveries, most (eight) of which are being produced and are collectively referred to as the Snøhvit Field. Ten of the eleven discoveries in this area were apparently not filled to their structural capacity at production start-up, and hydrocarbon shows have been noted between the gas–water contact and the depth of the structural spillpoint in all but one of the structures (Figure 2). These observations testify to leakage as a major controlling factor for the hydrocarbon column heights in the area.
