The Ekofisk, Eldfisk and Embla oil and gas fields lie in blocks 2/4 and 2/7 in the Ekofisk area at the southern end of Norway’s North Sea sector.
This acreage was awarded in 1965, and water depths in the area are 70-75 metres.
Ekofisk was the first Norwegian offshore field to begin production. It is tied to Teesside in the UK and Emden in Germany by the Norpipe pipelines for oil and gas respectively.
This infrastructure for oil and gas transport is also used for surrounding fields.
