Statoil Receives Constent to Use Statfjord B Beyond Its Lifetime

Statoil Petroleum AS has received consent to use Statfjord B beyond its design lifetime.

Based on the assessments made in connection with the application and a desire to utilise Statfjord B for as long as prudent as regards safety, technical and financial aspects, Statoil has applied for a 20-year lifetime extension from 31 August 2011
