Havtil authorizes use of new North Sea Statpipe landfall
Oct. 2, 2024
Gassco has permission from the Norwegian Ocean Industry Authority (Havtil) to use the new landfall for Statpipe at the Kalstø reception complex on Norway’s west coast.
In January 2022, AF Gruppen was appointed contractor to build the new landfall tunnel for the Statpipe pipelines on Karmøy for Equinor on behalf of Gassco and Gassled JV.
Norwegian offshore trunklines operator Gassco has permission from the Norwegian Ocean Industry Authority (Havtil) to use the new landfall for Statpipe at the Kalstø reception complex on Norway’s west coast.
The consent includes use of the equipment installed for the landfall for the Statpipe pipelines.
Kårstø receives rich gas and unstabilized condensate, which are separated into liquid products and dry gas. The dry gas heads through pipelines to mainland Europe.
The liquid stream is separated into different products, then shipped out on carriers.
