Gas infrastructure:
After the state increased its ownership in the central Norwegian gas transport system in the autumn of 2024, the gas transport system Gassled is now wholly owned by the state, while the Nyhamna processing plant and the Polarled pipeline have the state as the largest owner. Petoro is the licensee and manager of the gas infrastructure on behalf of the state, as part of the State’s Direct Financial Interest (SDFI) scheme.
Petoro manages the central gas infrastructure separately from the field portfolio, ensuring that the company does not place special emphasis on the impact on the rest of the SDFI portfolio. In addition to business considerations, Petoro also emphasizes that the gas infrastructure should be operated cost-effectively and contribute to good resource management.
Gassled consists of around 7,000 km of gas pipelines that transport gas from the Norwegian continental shelf to land terminals on the continent and in the United Kingdom. The processing plants at Kårstø and Kollsnes, as well as the riser platforms Draupner S/E, are also part of Gassled.
