Martin Linge

The Martin Linge field is situated close to the boundary with the UK sector in the northern North Sea, 42 kilometres west of Oseberg. The water depth is 115 metres. Martin Linge was discovered in 1978, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 2012. The development concept is a fully integrated production facility and a floating storage and offloading unit (FSO) for oil storage.

The field is under development. The jacket was installed on the field in 2014 and the topside modules in 2018. Production start-up is scheduled for 2020.
