Gassco has received consent from Norway’s Petroleum Safety Authority (PSA) to use the Knarr gas export pipeline. The Knarr field is located in block 34/3 in the Tampen area of the North Sea. The field, operated by BG Norge AS, has been developed using subsea well templates for production and injection, and a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) unit.
Oil and condensate from the field will be exported by shuttle tanker, while the gas will be transported in a 106 km pipeline tied to the FLAGS pipeline system on the UK Continental Shelf for onward transport to St. Fergus in Scotland. Gassco AS will be the pipeline operator when gas transport begins.
The PSA has now given Gassco consent to put the pipeline into commission. The UK authorities will also need to provide consent for the 12 km section of the pipeline on the UK Shelf.
