Statfjord East was discovered by Norskald in 1977, and began production on 23 September 1994.
This field and Statfjord North are tied back to the Statfjord C platform as satellite developments.
Statfjord East lies five kilometres north-east of Statfjord C, in production licences 037 and 089.
Like the nearby Statfjord North field, this discovery has been developed with subsea installations tied back to Statfjord C by flowlines.
Statfjord East is provided with three subsea templates (K, L and M). The K structure is for water injection, while the other two handle oil production.
