77-472: The ocean floor are connected directly by two 30 inches (762 mm) pipelines to an onshore process terminal at Nyhamna . After processing, the gas is exported by the world's second longest subsea gas pipeline - Langeled pipeline - approximately 1,200 kilometres (750 mi) from Nyhamna to Easington in England . The northern section of the export pipeline has a diameter of 42 inches (1,067 mm), and

110-418: The site (subzero temperatures part of the year, stormy seas, strong underwater currents, uneven seabed) put great demands on the technology used in the project. The Storegga Slides that occurred in the area about 8,000 years ago have been investigated, with the conclusion that the risk of recurrence is negligible. Several companies share ownership of Ormen Lange. Ormen Lange was operated by Statoil during
121-877: Was approved in February 2003. The 1,166 km (725 mi) pipeline runs across the North Sea from Nyhamna to the Easington Gas Terminal near the mouth of the Humber estuary on the UK’s east coast. The reservoir is approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) long and 8 kilometres (5 mi) wide, and lies about 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) below sea level . Recoverable gas reserves are estimated to be ~300 billion cubic meters. The Ormen Lange field has been developed without using conventional offshore platforms. Instead, 24 subsea wellheads in four seabed templates on
