These are managed by Petoro AS. The company’s most important job is to help ensure the highest possible value creation from the SDFI – value which benefits the whole of Norway. Gassled Gassled is a joint venture for the owners of the gas transport system on the Norwegian continental shelf. The gas transport system consists of pipelines, platforms and onshore process facilities and gas terminals abroad. The system is used by all parties needing to transport Norwegian gas. The receiving terminals for Norwegian gas in Germany, Belgium, France and the UK are wholly or partially owned by Gassled. Gassled’s activities are regulated by the Petroleum Regulations and tariffs for the individual services stipulated by the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy. At the end of 2012, the owners of Gassled were Petoro AS, Solveig Gas Norway AS, Njord Gas Infrastructure AS, Silex Gas Norway AS, Infragas Norge AS, Statoil Petroleum AS, Norsea Gas AS, ConocoPhillips Skandinavia AS, DONG E&P Norge AS, GDF SUEZ E&P Norge AS and RWE Dea Norge AS. Gassled Norway, western Europe’s largest gas exporter, will delay proposed cuts to tariffs on natural gas transported through the Gassled pipeline network, responding to a huge reaction from interested parties, according to news reports. A scheduled 90 percent cut in gas transport tariffs, due to come into effect from May 1, 2013 will be delayed as the Oil and Energy Ministry considers responses to news of the plan. “We can confirm that we are aiming for changes in the tariff regulation to come into force July 1,” according to ministry spokesman. “The ministry has received extensive submissions and will need more time.” Petroleum & Energy Minister recently announced the proposed tariff cut that is intended to boost the economic viability of exploiting marginal finds in mature areas to lift recovery rates. Norway, which is planning to cut tariffs in the network to make more gas discoveries profitable while boosting exploration and recovery rates, has received criticism from investors in the pipeline and their lenders. Investors argue the cut would reduce returns to 4 percent, well below their projected minimum of 7 percent.

This is necessary to ensure efficient utilisation of the resources on the continental shelf. Efficient utilisation of the existing gas transport system can also contribute to reducing or postponing the need for new investments. Gassco has the operatorship and coordinates and manages the gas streams flowing through the pipeline network to the markets (system operation). In addition, Gassco is responsible for administration of the gas transport capacity (capacity administration) and development of infrastructure.

The state represented by the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy (The Attorney-General represented Tolle Stabell and Christian Fredrik Michelet) (Assisting counsel: Håvard H. Holdø) VOTING : (1) Justice Bårdsen: The case concerns the validity of the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy's Regulations 26 June 2013 no. 792 relating to amendment of the Regulations relating to the stipulation of tariffs etc. for certain facilities (the Tariff Regulations), adopted under section 4-8 of the Petroleum Act, among others. 2 (2) The Tariff Regulations 20 December 2002 no. 1724 regulate the tariffs that third parties must pay for shipment of gas in the pipelines owned by the joint venture Gassled. The joint venture was established in 2003, and tariffs were stipulated in the Tariff Regulations for the various areas of the pipeline network. This network is the world’s biggest offshore system for transport and processing of gas, consisting of a number of gas pipelines on the seabed of the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea, some onshore processing plants in Norway and six receiving facilities in the UK, France, Belgium and Germany. The system is subject to licences from the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy pursuant to section 4-3 of the Petroleum Act.

It also describes developments in these waters since the 1960s, Oil and gas fields including why Norway was able to become an oil nation, the role of government and the rapid technological progress made. In addition, the book serves as an industrial heritage plan for the oil in nOrway and gas industry. This provides the basis for prioritising offshore installations worth designating as national monuments and which should be documented. industrial heritage plan The book will help to raise awareness of the oil industry as industrial heritage and the management of these assets.

    Bringing Gas to the Market Bringing Gas to the Market Gas Transit and Transmission Tariffs in Energy Charter Treaty Countries: Bringing Gas Regulatory Aspects and Tariff Methodologies Tariffs for the utilisation of gas transmission pipelines are an essential factor Gas Transit and Transmission Tariffs in Energy CharterTreaty Countries: Regulatory AspectsTariff and Methodologies to the Market determining the openness of international gas markets. The availability of interconnections and economically acceptable transportation costs are a condition for natural gas reaching consumer markets. With the dependence of major consuming countries on imported natural gas increasing – with the exception of countries that can rely on significant own reserves of unconventional gas – international trade in natural gas is expected to grow over the next decades. Common principles are necessary to enable such trade and to facilitate transit. Basic principles for transmission tariffs and some other aspects related to the utilisation of energy transport facilities have been elaborated in the Energy Charter. This study analyses methodologies and tariff principles for natural gas transmission Gas Transit and Transmission Tariffs in used in member countries of the Energy Charter Treaty, paying particular attention to developments in Europe, the Black Sea region and Central Asia. Common basic principles exist across this area, but concrete methodologies vary, as well as the Energy Charter Treaty Countries: choice of the market structure and the treatment of transit, in particular between the European Union on the one hand and some Eastern European and Central Asian countries on the other. The study compares the following aspects of regulatory regimes: Regulatory Aspects and - the role of the regulator, third-party access and unbundling; - the treatment of gas transit; Tariff Methodologies - methodologies to calculate capital and operational costs; - unit tariff methodologies.

  • Processing Plant Like an Oasis, the Processing Plant Lights up the Coastal Landscape in Late Summer Evenings
    FACTS Kollsnes Processing Plant Like an oasis, the processing plant lights up the coastal landscape in late summer evenings. The Kollsnes processing plant plays a key role in the transport of large quanti- ties of gas from fields in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea to customers in Europe. Gas from Kollsnes accounts for around 40 per cent of all Norwegian gas deliveries. The enormous quantities of gas in the Troll field started it all. Today, Kollsnes processing plant acts as goes further treatment and is fractioned Troll is the very corner- a centre for processing of gas from the into propane, butane and naphtha. stone of Norwegian Troll, Fram, Visund and Kvitebjørn fields.

Stureterminalen og Kollsnes prosessanlegg er to av en rekke større virksomheter i Norge som håndterer kjemiske og brannfarlige stoffer, og som følge av dette er underlagt «Forskrift om tiltak for å avverge storulykker i virksomheter som håndterer farlige stoff» (Storulykkeforskriften). For Stureterminalen og Kollsnes prosessanlegg er det særlig Petroleums-tilsynet (Ptil) som er myndighetene sitt kontrollorgan, og som kontrollerer at Gassco og Equinor følger lover og pålegg relatert til sikkerhet. Også kommunale myndigheter, Kystverket og Direktoratet for samfunnsikkerhet og beredskap er med i dette arbeidet.
