More images from my archives that I’ve only now got around to posting. This was a trip aboard the M/V Skandi Bergen off the coast of Norway to the Oseberg oil and gas field. The Skandi Bergen was my regular vessel for almost a year though I have barely any photos from my trips aboard. That was thanks to a opportunistic thief while traveling in India who grabbed my bag (which was on my feet) and jumped off a moving train!
These oil rig stock photographs show 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.
The Skandi Bergen vessel, owned by DOF, is a multipurpose support vessel with two working class Schilling remotely operated vehicles (ROVs).
