The active region NOAA 8151 observed between February 11–13, 1998 exhibits a filament eruption linked to the disappearance of a sigmoidal structure. Using vector magnetograms from IVM (Mees Observatory, Hawaii), we perform a non linear force-free reconstruction of the coronal magnetic field above this active region. This reconstruction allows to determine the distribution of electric currents, the magnetic energy and the relative magnetic helicity. The reconstructed magnetic field lines are compared to the soft X-rays (SXT, Yohkoh) observations.
