Thor Bensvik is the drilling and well operations manager for the Snøhvit project at Statoil. The first phase of the Snøhvit project covers the Snøhvit and Albatross fields, which lie about 140km north west of Hammerfest in northern Norway.

The wells will come onstream when the Hammerfest LNG plant at Melkøya is completed in 2007. Statoil is the operator for the development and operation of the Snøhvit project.
