Description
- The Frigg Field was the world's largest and deepest offshore gas field when discovered in 1971
- It straddled both the Norwegian and British sectors of the North Sea
- There were two platforms on the Norwegian side and three on the British side of the border.
- On the UK side was an accommodation platform (QP) for 120 people, a treatment platform (TCP2) and a drilling platform( CDP1), while the Norwegian side had a drilling platform (DP2)and a treatment platform (TP1).
- Bridges connected three of the platforms
- Gas was transported to the St Fergus Gas Processing Plants, via the Frigg UK Gas Pipeline System
- Oil was transported on the Frostpipe Crude Oil Pipeline to the Oseberg Oil Field
