Project Background 

The Brage field, Wintershall Norge’s first operated production field, is located in the northern part of the North Sea, 125 kilometers west of Bergen, at a water depth of 137 meters. First oil was produced in 1993, with operatorship transitioning from Hydro to Statoil and eventually to Wintershall Norge in 2013.
