Europipe II is a natural gas pipeline from the Kårstø processing plant north of Stavanger to a receiving terminal at Dornum in Germany. It came on stream on 1 October 1999.




Route


It starts from Kårstø processing plant and runs about 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) onshore from Kårstø to Vestre Bokn. From there, the 642-kilometre (399 mi) offshore pipeline runs through Norwegian, Danish and German sectors of the North Sea. The German onshore section is 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) long. At Dornum the gas is supplied into the Netra (Norddeutsche Erdgas Transversale) gas pipeline, which runs to Salzwedel in eastern Germany.




Technical description


The diameter of pipeline is 1,100 millimetres (42 in) and the capacity is 24 billion cubic metres (850 billion cubic feet) of natural gas per year. Most of the gas is supplied from Equinor's Åsgard, Sleipner East/West, Gullfaks and Statfjord fields.
The Europipe II pipeline was laid by Semac I, Castoro Sei and Solitaire pipe-laying ships. Europipe II was commissioned in 1999 and it cost 9.6 billion NOK. The pipeline is operated by Gassco, the technical service provider is Equinor. It was built with an option to branch out to a separate pipeline to Denmark. A pipeline end manifold was installed in April 2022 for the Baltic Pipe to Poland.
