Norway's Zeepipe project means more gas for Europe
- Zeepipe, Statoil, Stavenger (Norway)
This paper reports that construction of the Zeepipe Gas Pipeline Project is well under way, and will soon provide Europe with a secure supply of clean-burning natural gas. The new pipeline system will provide another outlet for the large reserves contained in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea. Zeepipe Phase 1 consists of a 500-mile, 40-in. pipeline from the Sleipner Field to a landfall at Zeebrugge, Belgium, and a 24-mile, 30-in. pipeline connecting the Statpipe to the Zeepipe system at the Sleipner Platform. Statoil's project organization for the Zeepipe project is also responsible for design and construction of a 142-mile, 20-in. condensate pipeline from Sleiper to Karsto, Norway, crossing the abyss of the Norwegian Trench on its route.
