Statfjord A

Statfjord is an oil and gas field in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea operated by StatoilHydro (and by Statoil prior to the merger). It is a "trans-median" field crossing the Norwegian and UK North Sea Boundary with circa 15% being in the UK Continental Shelf waters. At peak production it produced over 700,000 barrels of oil per day. Oil is loaded offshore and taken direct to refineries; gas is transported via the Statpipe pipeline to mainland Norway.

The Statfjord field has three Condeep concrete production platforms, A, B and C. Each platform is made up of circa 250,000 tonnes of concrete with circa 40,000 tonnes of "top-side" processing and accommodation facilities.

Statfjord holds the record for the highest daily production ever recorded for a European oil field (outside Russia) : 850,204 barrels (crude oil + Natural Gas Liquids) were produced on January 16, 1987. Now it is producing less than 70,000 barrels a day, and no European field exceeds 250,000 barrels a day.
