Maersk specifically designed the Integrator for operations in the North Sea.

Situated 16km south-east of Ula at a water depth of 68m, the Tambar field was discovered in 1983 and commenced production in 2001. The field was developed with a remotely controlled wellhead facility without processing equipment.

Aker BP operates the field with a 55% stake, while the remaining 45% stake is held by Faroe Petroleum Norge.

In 2017, the developers decided to extend the operational life of the field until 2028.
