Skirne which also includes the Byggve deposit[1] is an offshore gas field in the North Sea located 24 kilometres (15 mi) east of the Heimdal gas field and 140 kilometres (87 mi) from Stavanger, Norway.[2] The depth of the water in the field area is 120 metres (390 ft). Both Skirne and Byggve are considered satellites to Heimdal field and are connected to it by subsea pipelines.[3] TotalFinaElf which is the operator had received the approval from Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy for development of the fields in 2002. The company holds 40% interest in the project. Other stakeholders are Petoro and Centrica.[4] Both Skirne and Byggve have an estimated 230 billion cubic feet (6.5×109 m3) of natural gas and about 10 million barrels of condensate, combined.[5]
