The network
From owner to market. Links without their own label have their source in the column heading; curated, derived and possible links are labelled at the link.
- The colour shows the content:
- Gas
- Oil
- Condensate
- CO₂
- Oil and condensate
- The line shows the source:
- pipeline in Sodir data
- curated from Sodir's field description
- possible onward route, not measured flow
- planned or not in service
The links show direction, not volume.

Notes
- Gas is mixed in the pipeline network. A «possible route» is a pipeline connection onwards from a junction or an onshore plant, not a measure of where the field's gas actually goes.
- The arrows show direction, not volume. The direction is Sodir's from → to for each pipeline; Sodir has no flow per pipeline.
- The field is shut down. The pipelines are shown with the phase Sodir gives.
Pipeline systems and plants
Pipeline systems and plants (TUF) that the field's pipelines belong to or that the production continues into, with the owners. “The field's pipelines” means that the field's own pipelines belong to the system. The link comes from the pipelines in the map above.

Fleet
Rigs drilling, offshore vessels at the facilities in the AIS picture 7 Oct 2026, 14:34 UTC and the supply vessels from the base in the last 30 days.
Visits, latest day with data: 1 Oct
Rigs and offshore vessels that lay within 2 km of a facility at under 1 knot for at least 30 minutes, according to the AIS positions for 1 Oct 2026 from the Norwegian Coastal Administration. Kystdatahuset publishes the history about a week late. A visit shows that the vessel was there, not who it worked for. AIS from Kystverket (Norwegian Coastal Administration, Kystdatahuset historical positions) (NLOD 1.0), latest day 1 Oct 2026 · Norwegian Coastal Administration, Kystdatahuset: register type (SafeSeaNet) (NLOD 1.0), 1 Oct 2026 · Norwegian Offshore Directorate, facilities with position (NLOD 2.0), 7 Oct 2026 · OESA, rig key Sodir ↔ MMSI ↔ IMO (curated) (NLOD 1.0 / NLOD 2.0), 7 Oct 2026
No rigs or offshore vessels lay at the facilities in the period.
Method: A visit is a continuous stay within 2 km of a facility at under 1 knot for at least 30 minutes, computed from the AIS positions. Gaps in the data of up to 60 minutes, or 3 hours when the vessel is in the same place before and after, do not count as interruptions. Hours are the sum of the visits. Only rigs and vessels with an offshore register type or registered with the Norwegian Offshore Directorate are included.
Supply vessels from the base, last 30 days
Reported departures by offshore vessels (register type in SafeSeaNet). Supply base: Norwegian Offshore Directorate (the field's main supply base); the port's position from the World Port Index, Wikidata or OpenStreetMap (NLOD 2.0 / offentlig eiendom / ODbL), 28 Sep 2026 · Norwegian Coastal Administration, Kystdatahuset: reported voyages and register type (SafeSeaNet) (NLOD 1.0), 6 Oct 2026
- Dusavik 17 offshore vessels, 72 departures
Most departures: Sygna Tide 11, Rem Crusader 10, Skandi Flora 10, Juanita 9, Edda Fram 8
Who charters a rig or vessel, and at what rate, is not in open data. A vessel is linked to a field only when AIS shows it within 2 km of one of the field's own facilities or its host facility, at under 1 knot – that says the vessel was there, not who it works for. Facilities on the export route do not count. Tankers loading oil from production ships (FPSOs) and loading buoys are not included. Supply vessels per base are based on reported departures (SafeSeaNet). The destination is usually just the sea area (“Offshoreinst. Nordsjøen”, “… Barentshavet”), so the field the vessel supplies is not stated. Peterhead is British and has no departures in Kystdatahuset. AIS coverage offshore varies. A vessel without positions for a period may have been there without being recorded. Ship data: Norwegian Coastal Administration. Not for navigation.

Not in the data: Flow in each pipeline, which field's gas ends up in which country, and the buyers of oil and gas. Gas is mixed in the network, so a “possible route” is a pipeline connection, not measured flow.
