Norwegian Petroleum Directorate’s assistant director for the Southern North Sea Tove Francke said: “Gina Krog is an important contribution towards maintaining a high level of profitable production from the shelf.”
Francke also said that the licensees, headed by Statoil, delivered the project on time and budget.
The field has a production facility on the seabed and an oil storage ship at a water depth of 110m-120m.
Oil is transported through buoy loaders, while gas is exported to the Sleipner A platform for final processing.

Edvard Grieg began in November 2015, while Ivar Aasen followed in December 2016. Johan Sverdrup is expected to begin production in late-2019.
Gina Krog has been kept ready for existing and future discoveries in the area, and will be linked to a planned joint solution to supply the Utsira High with power from shore. This plan is expected to be in place by 2022.
