The jacket was constructed at Kværner Verdal and the platform deck was built at Kværner Stord and Aker Solutions in Egersund. The export pipelines were constructed and installed by Statoil Petroleum.

Lundin Norway managing director Kristin Færøvik said: "The project execution capabilities proven by this delivery, coupled with the ingenuity of our exploration team, provide a hugely exciting platform for further growth in Norway."

Development drilling at the field will resume soon with the Rowan Viking jack-up rig.

In addition, a total of ten production wells and four water injection wells would be drilled with plateau production expected during the second half of 2016. The drilling is expected to continue through 2018.

Edvard Grieg will receive oil and gas from the neighbouring Ivar Aasen field for further processing.

Grane pipeline will be used to transport oil to the Sture terminal located on the west coast of Norway, while gas will be transported with the help of a separate pipeline system to St Fergus in Scotland.

Lundin Norway received final approval for the plan for development and operation for the Edvard Grieg field from the Norwegian Parliament in June 2012.
