Location: Norne Norway Norway

Norne is primarily known as an offshore oil field located in the Norwegian Sea and is not a conventional marine port. Here's a detailed description and specifications related to the Norne oil field:

Norne Oil Field Overview

• Location: Norwegian Sea, approximately 200 kilometers west of the coast from Sandnessjøen, Norway.
• Water Depth: Around 380 meters.
• Discovery and Production: Discovered in 1991; production started in 1997.

Infrastructure

• Norne FPSO (Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading): The Norne oil field is developed using an FPSO vessel, where oil is processed, stored, and loaded onto shuttle tankers for transport.
  • FPSO Length: Approximately 272 meters.
  • FPSO Width: Around 42 meters.
  • Production Capacity: Roughly 170,000 barrels of oil per day.
  • Storage Capacity: About 1.4 million barrels of oil.

Operations

• Operator: Equinor (formerly Statoil).
• Partners: Equinor, Eni Norge AS, Petoro AS, and others.
• Reservoir: Sandstone with oil and associated gas.

Transport and Export

Oil and gas extracted from the Norne field are transported via shuttle tankers and pipelines to onshore processing facilities and export terminals, ensuring efficient delivery to international markets.

Nearby Fields

Several satellite fields tie back to the Norne FPSO, enhancing the overall production and economic viability of the area. These include:

• Urd (2005): Comprising the Stær and Svale deposits.
• Alve (2009): Located southwest of Norne.
• Skuld (2013): Includes the Fossekall and Dompap fields.

Environmental Measures

Norne operates under strict environmental regulations:

• Emission Reduction: Implementing technologies to minimize environmental impact.
• Waste Management: Proper disposal and treatment processes.
• Monitoring: Continual environmental monitoring and assessment.

While Norne is primarily an oil field and not a conventional marine port, its strategic importance and advanced infrastructure make it a crucial part of Norway's offshore oil production capabilities.
