Located on the Utsira High, about 35km south of the Grane and Balder fields, the field is developed with a standalone processing platform on a steel-jacket structure.
Edvard Grieg oil pipeline (EGOP) will be used to transport oil from the field to the Grane pipeline and then on to the Sture Terminal, north of Bergen.
The gas will be transported through a separate Utsira High gas pipeline (UHGP), which is connected to the transport system Scottish Area Gas Evacuation (Sage) in the UK sector.
Recently, the NPD approved the start-up of the EGOP and UHGP transport systems.
