Valhall is an oil field in the southern North Sea. Water depth in the area is approx. 70 metres. The field was originally developed using three installations, for accommodation, drilling and production. In 1996, a wellhead facility, Valhall WP, was installed, with slots for 19 extra wells. The four facilities are linked by bridges.
