Oil rig stock photograph of the Oseberg Field Centre located about 130km NW of Bergen,
on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

The Oseberg Field centre includes three platforms. Oseberg A with process equipment
and living quarters, Oseberg B with the drilling, production and injection equipment
and Oseberg C with gas processing and export equipment. All three platforms are
connected via bridges. Oseberg C lies about 14km north of the field centre.

The Oseberg oil field lies at a depth of approximately 100m. It was discovered in
1979 and is operated by Statoil in partnership with Petoro, Total, ExxonMobil and
ConocoPhillips.

This offshore oil and gas stock image was taken from the DOF-owned Skandi Bergen vessel, a multipurpose support vessel with two working class Schilling remotely operated vehicles (ROVs).
