HOUSTON, Sept. 29 -- A new, 3 billion kroner natural gas liquids extraction unit at the Kollsnes plant northwest of Bergen, Norway, began processing gas Monday from Kvitebjørn field in the Norwegian North Sea.
The unit, which has increased overall processing capacity at Kollsnes by 20 million standard cu m/day to 146 million standard cu m/day, was designed to process well-stream mixes from Kvitebjørn, Troll, Visund, and fields to be developed in the Tampen-Sogn North Sea area.
Norway's state-owned Gassco AS operates the plant on behalf of the owner Gassled�a joint venture of oil and gas companies on the Norwegian continental shelf and the owner of the Norwegian gas transport infrastructure. Statoil ASA is the plant's technical service provider.
