Background
The pipeline runs from the Ekofisk gas field to a receiving terminal at Emden in Germany. The diameter of pipeline is 910 mm (36 in) and it has capacity of 16 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year.[4] The pipeline was commissioned in 1977 and will be in use until 2028.[5] The start-up investment was 26.4 billion Norwegian krone. The pipeline is owned by Gassled and operated by Gassco.[5][6] The technical service provider is ConocoPhillips.
On 30 September 1995, the German cargo ship Reint collided with the Norpipe H7-platform in the German continental shelf. Only minimal damages to the platform, and no injuries to people were caused.[7] The H7 platform has been off-the-service since 1999, and in 2007 a bypass pipe laid around the platform.[8]
