VIDEO from Statoil available on thenewsmarket.com: Statoil Completes Oil and Gas Field Gjoa and Develops More Activities in Norwegian North Sea
NEW YORK, Nov. 11, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- See video from Statoil at:
Norwegian-based oil and gas company Statoil has completed an extensive development job, the Gjoa platform. This oil and gas field is the world's first production floater to receive its power from land. Electricity is transmitted through a 100-kilometre cable from Mongstad north of Bergen. This reduces carbon emissions on the field by about 210,000 tonnes per year. It is only the second Norwegian offshore installation to be powered in this way, after Troll A. Work on fabricating the platform and its associated infrastructure began in 2007. Costing some NOK 40 billion, the Gjoa/Vega project has been completed on schedule. Available story package includes general views and still images.
