The Edvard Grieg Oil Pipeline system has been designed and built to transport stabilised oil from the Edvard Grieg facility to the Grane Oil Pipeline (GOP), where the oil will be commingled and transported on to the Sture terminal.
The Edvard Grieg field is in the North Sea, 35 kilometres south of Grane and Balder. Water depth is around 110 metres.
The Petroleum Safety Authority Norway has now granted consent to use the Edvard Grieg oil pipeline in accordance with Statoil's application.
