Subsea Technology

Ormen Lange Subsea Production System

The Ormen Lange field, in the Norwegian Sea, approximately 100 km off Norway, is within the prehistoric Storegga slide area with water depths reaching 850 m in the main production area. The gas will be produced from up to 24 subsea wells. The well fluid will be transported to the Nyhamna plant through two 30‑in. multiphase lines. After processing, the dry export gas will be transported from the onshore plant through a new 42‑in. pipeline by way of the Sleipner riser platform and further through a new 44‑in. pipeline to the gas-receiving terminal in Easington, England.
