Background

The feasibility study of the pipeline's project was conducted in 1990. On April 20, 1993, an agreement between Norway and Germany was concluded on the construction of Europipe I. The pipeline became operational in 1995. The Europipe I gas pipeline runs from the Draupner E riser platform in the North Sea to a receiving terminal at Dornum on the German coast. With an internal diameter of 40 inches, it is 620 kilometres long. The pipeline has a reported capacity of 13 bcm/year
