Ormen Lange is a mature asset in the Norwegian Sea in a water depth of 1000 m. Ormen Lange Phase 3 is a project aimed at increasing the total recovery from the field by using a new solution for seabed compression. The selected compression concept relies on the use of a suite of technologies to be cost-effective. However, this has required a qualification program to mature these technologies.
