Exports through the system began 25 July 1985 when rich gas from Statfjord started flowing to Kårstø north of Stavanger. After processing there, dry gas continued to the 16/11 S (now Draupner S) riser platform and thence to Ekofisk for connection with the existing Norpipe gas line to Emden in West Germany.
