Great impact on the society

Ekofisk

Industrial heritage Ekofisk provides an insight into the historical development of the Ekofisk area in the norwegian part of North Sea since 1969. The fields, platforms, working life, important historical events and Ekofisk's influence on society are the main topics. Furthermore, it is possible to search in all the digital source material.

On the border

Frigg

Frigg was a gas field on the border between the Norwegian and British continental shelves. Elf, now Total, was the operator of the field. At most, it supplied the UK with 30 per cent of gas consumption. Frigg was shut down in 2004, and the installations removed. The site is designed to preserve the history of Frigg.

The largest

Statfjord

Statfjord is Norway's largest oil field and is situated on the border between the Norwegian and British Continental Shelf in the North Sea. It is built at approximately 150 meters water depth with three fully integrated Condeep-type platforms (Statfjord A, B and C) with undercarriage and concrete storage cells.

Oilfield in the south

Valhall

Valhall is a large oil field in the southern part of the Norwegian sector of the North Sea, near the Danish border. It was the fourth commercially viable discovery on the Norwegian shelf and came into operation in 1982. Since then, the field has been in continuous development.

On one leg

Draugen

The Draugen field expanded the Norwegian shelf as the first field north of 62nd latitude in the Norwegian Sea. On a concrete leg stands the unique platform and produces twice as much oil as expected.
