Statpipe ranked when it was installed as the world’s longest and deepest gas pipeline.

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.
