Tyra West - F3 pipeline
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tyra West - F3 pipeline is a 100 kilometre long natural gas submarine pipeline connecting Danish and Dutch continental shelf pipeline systems. It allows to export Danish gas into North West Europe. The 660 mm (26 inches) pipeline, which cost over $200 million, runs from the Maersk-operated Tyra West platform on the Danish continental shelf to the Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij (NAM)-operated F3-FB platform on the Dutch continental shelf. From F3-FB platform, gas is fed through the NOGAT pipeline system to the Netherlands natural gas hub in Den Helder.
The pipeline is operated by Maersk Oil & Gas and owned by Shell Olie- og Gasudvinding Danmark BV (23%), A.P. Møller-Maersk A/S (19.5%), ChevronTexaco Denmark Inc. (7.5%) and DONG Energy A/S (50%). The pipeline gives each owner divided rights to transport gas from Denmark for subsequent sale at Den Helder.
