(Norway) - The Norwegian parliament has approved the plan for development and operation of the Statoil-operated Tyrihans field in the Norwegian Sea.

The project embraces two structures ¿ Tyrihans South, an oil field with a gas cap, and Tyrihans North.

The latter is a gas and condensate discovery with a thin oil zone.

Plans call for the Tyrihans structures to be developed with five seabed templates tied back to the Statoil-operated Kristin platform.

A 43-km pipeline will carry the wellstream to the Kristin platform.
