Gullfaks is an oil and gas field in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea operated by Equinor. It was discovered in 1978, in block 34/10, at a water depth of 130-230 meters.[1] The initial recoverable reserve is 2.1 Goilbbl, and the remaining recoverable reserve in 2004 is 234 Moilbbl. This oil field reached peak production in 2001 at 180000 oilbbl/d. It has satellite fields Gullfaks South, Rimfaks, Skinfaks and Gullveig.
In November 2022, the Hywind Tampen floating offshore wind farm started supplying power to the Gullfaks platforms.[2]
Platforms
The project consists of three production platforms Gullfaks A (1986), Gullfaks B (1988), and Gullfaks C (1989).[1] Gullfaks C sits 217 m below the waterline and the height of the total structure measured from the sea floor is 380 m,[3]
