Veslefrikk is an oil field located about 30 kilometres north of Oseberg in the northern part of the North Sea. The water depth is about 185 metres. The field is developed with two facilities, Veslefrikk A and Veslefrikk B. Veslefrikk A is a fixed steel wellhead facility with bridge connection to Veslefrikk B. Veslefrikk B is a semi-submersible facility for processing and accommodation.
It is the first development off Norway to use a floating production unit
An oil pipeline is connected to the Oseberg Transport System (OTS) for transport to the Sture terminal.
Gas for export is transported through the Gassled system to Karsto Gas Processing Plant.

The reservoirs consist of Jurassic sandstones in the Brent and Dunlin Groups and the Statfjord Formation. The main reservoir is in the Brent Group and contains about 80 per cent of the reserves. The reservoir depths are between 2 800 – 3 200 metres. The reservoir quality varies from moderate to excellent.
