MarketThe buyers of the oil are not in the data.
Transport according to Sodir's field description
The oil is transported from the Tambar field to the Ula facility. After processing at Ula, the oil is exported in the existing pipeline system via the Ekofisk field to Teesside in the UK. The gas is used for gas injection in the Ula reservoir to improve oil recovery.

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.
