"This start-up of the DSM module is particularly important to the yard in Haugesund."

The DSM module comprises various sections that have been produced at Aibel in Haugesund and at sub-supplier Vistal in Poland.

The platform is expected to be complete in 2018 with production scheduled for 2019-end.

Oil from the field in the Utsira Height in the North Sea will be piped to the Mongstad terminal in Hordaland.

The gas would be transported through Statpipe to the Kårstø processing plant in North Rogaland.

Statoil owns a 40.0267% stake in the field. The remaining partners include Lundin Norway (22.6%), Petoro (17.36%), Det norske (11.5733%) and Maersk Oil (8.44%).
