Grane oil pipeline (Norwegian: Grane oljerørledning) is a pipeline system in western Norway. It is 220 km (140 mi) long and runs from Grane oil field to Sture terminal, located 65 km (40 mi) north of Bergen, Norway. The pipeline operations commenced with start of production in the Grane oil field.[1]

Technical features

The pipeline diameter is 29 inches. Capacity of Grane oil pipeline is 34,000 cm3 oil per day.[2] The greatest sea depth pipeline passes through is 355 m (1,165 ft) - through the Norwegian Trench. The pipeline installation ship "Castoro Sei" welded a total of 16,650 sections of pipe measuring 12 meters long to complete the Grane to Sture transport system. Over 110,000 tonnes of rock and gravel was used on the seabed to establish the correct foundation for the pipeline.[3] The estimated lifetime of the pipeline is expected to be 30 years.[1]
