Gullfaks C

Gullfaks C

Gullfaks C is an offshore oil platform of StatoilHydro at Block 34/10 in the North Sea between Britain and Mainland Europe. The platform includes 217 metres below the waterline. The height of the total structure counted from sea floor is 380 metres, making it taller than the Eiffel Tower. Gullfaks C produces 250,000 barrels of oil a day. Mainland Norway is 108 miles away from the complex so the workers get to work by flying in helicopters. Gas was found in the North Sea in 1959 and oil was discovered in 1970. Gullfaks C was completed in 1990. [ Amazing Structures, author Michael Pollard Page 34,35 ]
