Draupner platform

The Draupner platform is a gas platform for the extraction of natural gas in the North Sea consisting of the Draupner S and E riser platforms. It is located in the Norwegian North Sea block 16/11 160 km (99 mi) offshore from Norway. The complex consists of seven risers and two riser platforms standing in 70 m (230 ft) water depth and linked by a bridge. Draupner E is the first major oil platform using jacket-type construction supported on a bucket foundation and suction anchors. The complex is owned by Gassled and operated by Gassco. The technical service provider is Equinor.

1995 rogue wave
The platform was built with an extensive array of instruments to monitor wave height, slope, acceleration and movement of the pillars and foundations. In 1995, a laser rangefinder monitoring instrument detected a rogue wave, which became known as the Draupner wave. This wave provided additional scientific evidence for the existence of rogue waves to a previous observation done on the Gorm Platform in the Danish sector in 1984. == Notes ==
