Gullfaks Cとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Gullfaks C is an offshore oil platform of Statoil at Block 34/10 in the North Sea between Britain and Mainland Europe. The platform sits 217 metres below the waterline. The height of the total structure measured from the sea floor is 380 metres, making it taller than the Eiffel Tower. Gullfaks C produces 250,000 barrels of oil a day. Mainland Norway is 108 miles away from the complex so the workers get to work by flying in helicopters. Gas was found in the North Sea in 1959 and oil was discovered in 1970. Gullfaks C was completed in 1990. The Tordis field, which is located 11 km south east of Gullfaks C, has a subsea separation manifold installed in 2007 which is tied-back to the existing Gullfaks infrastructure.
