This historic film "Ekofisk City at Sea" from Phillips Petroleum shows the story of the development of the Ekofisk Oil Field, one of the North Sea oil projects. The film begins in 1962 with a group of engineers planning the project. At 2:00 Oslo, Norway and surrounding areas are shown. At 2:34 engineers and their families move to Stavanger, Norway in 1965. At 2:57 plotters and paper tape computers work to compile information about the project. At 3:20, the 1967 launch of the Ocean Viking exploration vessel is shown. At 3:36 the offshore drilling platform is shown in operation. At 4:30 the drilling ring is shown in operation and at 4:43, results of drilling are assessed in a lab. At 5:20 drilling is suspended. In Bartlesville, Oklahoma executives consider abandoning the project due to lack of progress. At 5:51 the drilling rig makes another attempt. On December 23, 1969, Phillips Petroleum - now ConocoPhillips - informed the Norwegian government that it had discovered Ekofisk - one of the largest offshore oil fields ever found. At 6:44 a map of the Ekofisk well field is shown. At 7:30 planning to retrieve the oil from two miles down is shown with various types of jackup drilling rigs being considered for use. The construction of the linked Ekofisk drilling platforms and hotel living platform is shown next. At 11:50 a tug struggles in the North Sea waves. At 12:03 Stavanger Fjord a gigantic oil storage tank is shown being completed. At 14:14 it is lowered into place on the short of the North Sea. At 14:30 a huge bridge section of the platform is shown being replaced after it was damaged during installation. At 15:11 the oil pipeline is shown being installed on the beach near Teesside Refinery. The underwater oil pipeline is shown being built at 15:40. At 16:30 an underwater television camera system is used to monitor the installation of the pipeline. At 18:30 the film ends with images of the setting sun and the incredible installation known as Ekofisk.
Ekofisk is an oil field in block 2/4 of the Norwegian sector of the North Sea about 320 km (200 mi) southwest of Stavanger. Discovered in 1969 by Phillips Petroleum Company, it remains one of the most important oil fields in the North Sea. This was the first discovery of oil after the drilling of over 200 exploration wells in the North Sea "triggered" by the Groningen gas field discovery. In 1971, Phillips started producing directly to tankers from four subsea wells. Oil production is planned to continue until at least 2050.
Ekofisk reservoir consists of Cod, Ekofisk, West Ekofisk, Tor, Albuskjell, Eldfisk, Edda and Embla oil fields. The Ekofisk Center is a vast complex of platforms and structures creating a transportation hub also for surrounding fields such as Valhall, Hod, Gyda, Ula, Statfjord, Heimdal, Tommeliten and Gullfaks. The whole complex consists of 29 platforms. Produced oil is transported by the Norpipe oil pipeline to the Teesside Refinery in England. Natural gas is transported by the Norpipe gas pipeline to Emden in Germany.
Norpipe is the undersea oil and natural gas pipelines system in the North Sea. It supplies oil from the Norwegian Ekofisk and associated fields in the North Sea to the United Kingdom and natural gas to Germany.
The Teesside Refinery was an oil refinery and chemical plant situated just south of Seaton Carew on the River Tees in County Durham. In 2000, it was bought by Petroplus from ICI and Phillips Petroleum Company. Refining was suspended in 2009, although the site continues to operate as a terminal and storage facility.

My dad worked in the oil industry for 45 years. He started as a refinery mechanic and worked up to upper management at a major. He had a lot of dealings with Phillips and says they were always competent straight shooters with solid management. Hard to believe an outfit from Bartlesville OK would be developing Nortb Sea oil but they did.
About the same time as this video covers my dad’s company was working to open the North Slope of Alaska to oil production. I got to know the man who led that effort quite well in his later years. He passed away last year. There was high drama in opening up the North Slope with entire multi billion dollar companies literally putting their entire future, and that of thousands of employees,on the line. Just like Phillips’ experiences in the North Sea.
There was such a narrow window to get the thousands of tons of equipment around Point Barrow before the ice returned, possibly crushing and sinking all or much of it over the winter. While my dad never served offshore he did spend plenty of time in Alaska. Hated it.
Folks are right this kind of promo film is too rare these days. That’s a shame. This one was great.
I couldn’t agree more with your comment my friend!! I miss this AMERICA!!
I worked on fishing trawlers working of Norway, The North Sea is not for the faint hearted
was at Ekofisk yesterday, really cool "city" at seas with 6 rigs in the main complex connected with bridges that you have to walk over 1km to get from one side to the other.
Love the oldschool narrator with the background music! Classic!
Thanks, Periscope! As Jerry Reid's song went, 'Lord, Mr. Ford, what have you done'! Thanks again!
What a Great film! Thank you!
3:24 I like how they came up with a basically fool-proof bottle breaking method, even welding that piece of angle iron to the hull. It's bad luck if the bottle fails to break!
очень интересный фильм
Motivating
The panning shot of Stavanger at 2:03 is such a fun thing for me to see, seeing as it's my home town and it's changed a fair bit since the 1970s (I wasn't even born then), yet it's still very recognizable. However, I find it funny how the narrator says that it's located 175 miles south-EAST of Oslo. That would place it somewhere on the east coast of Sweden, or possibly in the Baltic Sea, as opposed to on the WEST-coast of Norway.
One or two health and safety issues noted! I particularly liked the satiety trilby rendering its wearer immune to any potential helicopter ditching in the North Sea! Great times!
my dad used to be a crane operator in the north sea In the 80's 90's up to 2005 :D
Floorman, and so oin, Good Afternoon,.
I was there 1996 to 2000
13:04 656 feet is 200 meters.
Was wisse decker director of phillip, at this time?
What happens if there's a hurricane
First time ever in history i have heard that stavanger is south east of oslo 😂😂😂😂. It`s north west of stavanger.. omg, they knew nothing at that time.
Oil was high in GRAVITY??? what he say???
"The American Petroleum Institute gravity, or API gravity, is a measure of how heavy or light a petroleum liquid is compared to water: if its API gravity is greater than 10, it is lighter and floats on water; if less than 10, it is heavier and sinks."
@@JohnWatkinsUK proper definition would be buoyancy and density since gravity still just a theory like the big bang theory. Jesuit puppet einstein had to clear his conscience near the end of his life and admitted to some of the theoretic tall tales!!!
@@APMSPIRAL You sir...are an idiot.
@@MichaelBreen. how rude...prove me wrong ❣❣❣
@ TRUTH 101 I bet you drive an electric car don't you ?
