Background
The Frigg UK pipeline principally transports gas from the Alwyn Area and Bruce field with a number of smaller fields linking into it. Construction of the main pipeline, started in 1974 and was completed in 1977. It was built to transport natural gas from the Frigg gas field to the United Kingdom. Due of technical limitations two parallel pipelines, the Frigg UK pipeline, and and the Vesterled Gas Pipeline(formerly Frigg Norwegian Pipeline).[4]
