Largest oil platform in north sea
Phillips removes largest nonconcrete platform in North Sea from Maureen. The 110,000-tonne steel gravity-based Maureen Alpha platform will arrive by tow Friday in Norway after it was refloated in the first step of Phillips Petroleum Co. UK Ltd.'s plans to decommission the 20-year old North Sea development. David Knott Senior Editor This year some of the largest oil and gas production platforms ever built have been towed out from construction yards and installed in North Sea fields. They can be viewed as the last projects from an age of splendor in North Sea offshore engineering. Occidental Petroleum's Piper Alpha oil production platform exploded in the North Sea after a series of malfunctioning parts and a small gas leak ignited under pressure. Eventually, the pipeline connecting Piper to the Claymore Platform burst and the Piper slipped into the sea. The field extends over 750 km 2 and is located in the northern part of the North Sea. Not only that, but Troll B and C have been the Norwegian continental shelf’s largest oil producer in the last three years. Troll B will soon pass three times the production that was expected when the field was opened. The largest field found in the past five years on the Norwegian part of the North Sea, is the Johan Sverdrup oil field which was discovered in 2010, with further oil of the same field was discovered the next year. Total reserves of the field are estimated at 1.7 to 3.3 billion barrels of gross recoverable oil and Johan Sverdrup is expected to produce 120,000 to 200,000 barrels of oil per day. The entire oil reserves of Norway, the biggest oil producing country in Europe, are located on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) with eight in the North Sea and two in the Norwegian Sea. Offshore-technology.com profiles 10 of the biggest oil fields based on the latest estimates of remaining recoverable oil reserves. The footage of the Borgholm Dolphin installation was captured at the weekend by James Eaton, an offshore worker on the nearby Lomond Platform, around 145 miles east of Aberdeen. Subscribe to BBC

The world’s largest spar platform is named after the 19 th century Norwegian painter and writer Aasta Hansteen, and has been built to produce gas from the field that lies in deep water, 300 km northwest of Sandnessjøen. A spar platform floats vertically like a buoy in the water, and is anchored to the seabed. The Hibernia platform in Canada is the world's largest (in terms of weight) offshore platform, located on the Jeanne D'Arc Basin, in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Newfoundland. This gravity base structure (GBS), which sits on the ocean floor, is 111 metres (364 ft) high and has storage capacity for 1.3 million barrels (210,000 m 3 ) of crude oil in its 85-metre (279 ft) high caisson. This is a list of the tallest oil platforms over 380 m (1,247 ft) in height. The current highest oil platform is the Petronius platform operated by Chevron Corporation and Marathon Oil in the Gulf of Mexico, 210 km southeast of New Orleans, United States. Berkut The Berkut oil platform is the largest in the world, weighing over 200,000 tonnes. It’s located in the Sakhalin-1 oil field off the Russian Pacific Coast. There, the platform is subjected to sub-arctic conditions, meaning it had to be constructed to withstand the most extreme surroundings.

The 1,548-foot tall Troll A platform off the west coast of Norway includes 1,210 feet of structure below the water's surface. Along with impressive height, when the platform moved over land into the North Sea in 1996 in a seven-day process, it became the largest object to ever be moved by man across the earth. The largest field found in the past five years on the Norwegian part of the North Sea, is the Johan Sverdrup oil field which was discovered in 2010, with further oil of the same field was discovered the next year.
