The Langeled joint venture has been established to construct and operate the transportation system from Nyhamna to Easington. The purpose of the Langeled transport system is to transport gas produced from the Ormen Lange field to market delivery points in the UK and continental Europe and to transport gas from other sources to the UK market. This is chieved by installation of the Langeled pipeline from the Ormen Lange gas processing terminal at Nyhamna via the Sleipner platform and then to UK. The planned Langeled Transportation System has a total pipeline length of approximately 1,200 km. It will be the longest subsea gas pipeline system in the world. The southern part of theTransportation System from Sleipner to UK, will be operational to transport other Norwegian natural gas from October 2006. The northern leg will be operational in October 2007 when the Ormen Lange field comes on-stream. Partners in the Ormen Lange field are: Hydro, Shell, Petoro, Statoil, BP and ExxonMobil.
