With an internal diameter of 16 inches, the pipeline from the Draugen platform to the tie-in point is about 75 kilometres long. The platform would also be able to receive gas and oil from the small Garn West satellite.Īssociated gas was to be transported to Kårstø north of Stavanger through a dedicated pipeline tied into the Åsgard Transport system through a Y connection. Intended to exploit gas from the reservoir, this development had been under way since the year before. The Draugen gas transport project, which included the installation of new equipment and a pipeline, became operational on 10 November 2002. See the separate article on the fate of the rig.

Although only five wells had been drilled since production started, the facility was not required. The decision to remove the drilling rig on the Draugen platform was taken in January 1997.

Phase two of the project was carried out the following year to secure a 10 per cent rise in maximum production without affecting operating stability.

Work included correcting inefficient design solutions, replacing control valves, installing larger piping and upgrading the emergency blowdown system on the second-stage separator. Maximum oil output was thereby increased to 155 000 barrels per day (b/d), which corresponded to an annual average of 140 000 b/d. This work was carried out with the platform shut down, and no problems were encountered during the subsequent restart. The first phase of upgrading the Draugen production facilities was completed over a 10-day period in late June 1995.
