Background

The pipeline system transports oil from the Troll Oil And Gas Field to Mongstad. It consists of two pipelines: Troll Oil Pipeline I, commissioned in 1995, and Troll Pipeline II, commissioned in 1999. The licenses of both pipelines expires in 2023.

In its first 20 years of oil production, the Troll oil field produced 1.56 billion barrels, generating NOK 460 billion in income.

Troll Oil Pipeline I

Troll Oil Pipeline I originates at Troll B and terminates at the Mongstad terminal. It spans 85 km and has a diameter of 16 in. The pipeline was approved in 1993 and commissioned in 1995 with the start of production from Troll B.

Troll Oil Pipeline II

Troll Oil Pipeline II originates at Troll C, as well as from branches originating at Fram, Gjøa, and Kvitebjørn, and terminates at the Mongstad terminal. It spans 80 km and has a diameter of 20 in. The pipeline was commissioned in 2009.
