Snorre is an oil and gas field in the Tampen area in the southern part of the Norwegian Sea. The sea depth in the area is 300 to 350 m.[1] Snorre has been operational since August 1992. It was the first field developed by Saga Petroleum.[2]
A Plateosaurus knucklebone, specimen PMO 207.207, was discovered in 1997 at 2256 m while drilling the Snorre oil field.[3]
In May 2023, the Hywind Tampen floating offshore wind farm started supplying power to the Snorre platform.[4]
