Statoil Kristin Gas Platform with Asgard in the distant background.

The Kristin gas field is located in the south-western part of the Halten Bank in the Norwegian Sea. The field consists of twelve production wells in four subsea templates, tied back to the semi-submersible Kristin production platform.

The Åsgard B platform is a semi-submersible floating gas production platform. Åsgard is one of the largest developments on the Norwegian continental shelf consisting of 52 wells drilled through 16 seabed templates.

These oil rig pictures were taken from the DOF owned M/V Geosund, a multipurpose support and surveil vessel equipped with two Schilling working class ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles).
