Skanled was a planned natural gas offshore pipeline connecting Norway to Sweden and Denmark.
7-587: The submarine pipeline was to start in the Kårstø natural gas processing plant in western Norway, where it was to be connected with the Europipe II . It was to be run to eastern Norway, western Sweden and Denmark with exit points in Rafnes (Norway), Lysekil, Vallby Kile, Bua (Sweden) and Jutland (Denmark). It consist of: As part of the project, the pipeline was to transport also ethane , which would injected into
14-537: Is 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) long. At Dornum the gas is supplied into the Netra (Norddeutsche Erdgas Transversale) gas pipeline, which runs to Salzwedel in eastern Germany. The diameter of pipeline is 1,100 millimetres (42 in) and the capacity is 24 billion cubic metres (850 billion cubic feet) of natural gas per year. Most of the gas is supplied from Equinor 's Åsgard, Sleipner East/West , Gullfaks and Statfjord fields. The Europipe II pipeline
21-491: The Baltic Pipe between Denmark and Poland, may lead to widen the diameter of the pipe from the initial design. The pipeline was to be operational by October 2012. It was designed for 50 years of operation. It expected to cost 10 billion Norwegian kroner. The final investment decision depended on decisions by Yara International and Ineos , major potential consumers of gas provided by Skanled. In April 2009,
28-528: The Kårstø processing plant north of Stavanger to a receiving terminal at Dornum in Germany . It came on stream on 1 October 1999. It starts from Kårstø processing plant and runs about 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) onshore from Kårstø to Vestre Bokn . From there, the 642-kilometre (399 mi) offshore pipeline runs through Norwegian, Danish and German sectors of the North Sea. The German onshore section
35-472: The Skanled Project Group announced that they had decided to suspend the project "due to increased commercial risk combined with the global economic developments that have given an uncertain view on future gas demand." The IKM Gruppen was selected for design activities related to the pipeline system with associated subsea structures, landfalls, and receiving and metering stations. The project
42-614: The natural gas at Kårstø and transported with the natural gas to Rafnes, where it would separated and extracted from the gas. The separation facilities at Rafnes and the installations downstream the reduction stations in Sweden and Denmark were not part of the project. The originally planned capacity of the pipeline was 6 billion cubic meter (bcm) of natural gas per year. The plans were upgraded to 7 bcm. The likelihood of greater future demand from Denmark and Poland, which plan to connect Skanled through Denmark with other planned pipeline,
49-422: Was developed by the Skanled Project Group. Shareholders of the consortium were: Gasunie accepted the invitation to join the project to replace Swedegas and, in part, Göteborg Energi in the consortium. The project was managed by Gassco with Swedegas and Energinet.dk participating as partners. The Skanled project director is Thor Otto Lohne. Europipe II Europipe II is a natural gas pipeline from
