The steel jacket for the PH platform was installed in June 2009, with the main deck and living quarters module added in July 2010 and the power from shore module becoming operational in June 2011. Production from the PH platform commenced in
January 2013 and is expected to reach 65,000 barrels of oil
479:
The PH facility is an integrated processing and accommodation platform, with a power from shore module and bridges linking it to the existing
Valhall platforms. The topsides weigh 18,500 tonnes, the jacket structure weighs 8,400 tonnes and there are 180 single cabins on the platform.

The WP was installed in April 1996 and first oil production started in June the same year. WP has 19 well slots. A central location and spare available capacity make it possible for the
Valhall complex to also receive oil and gas from several adjacent fields.
305:. Discovered in 1975, production began in 1982 and is expected to continue until 2050. Valhall is located in 70 metres of water. It produces from chalk in the Tor and Hod Formations of Late Cretaceous age. The reservoir depth is approximately 2 400 metres.
435:. The platform-based drilling rig's configuration allows for drilling and maintenance of wells on the new platform (24 wells total) and on the existing WP platform (19 wells total). The IP has integrated connections to the onshore operating centre.
450:
Initially about eight wells will be drilled from each platform. There is room for future water injection at either wellhead platform. The two wellhead platforms are powered from
Valhall and monitored from the existing Valhall facilities via a

Drilling commenced on the South Flank by West
Epsilon in October 2002 and continued until August 2003 when it moved to drill the North Flank. The South Flank started production 8 May 2003. While the North Flank came on stream 7 January 2004.
431:, bridge linked to the existing Valhall WP. Water injection is expected to increase oil recovery from 31% to 38%. The integrated topsides has water injection facilities, seawater and produced water treatment facilities and

The RP (Ekofisk 2/4 G) was installed in April and June 1981. It received oil and gas from PCP through two 36.8 km long 20-inch diameter pipelines. It delivered the oil and gas to
Ekofisk Tank to which it was bridge linked.
328:
The QP was built in 1979 and started being used in July 1981. It was bridge linked to PCP. It had accommodation for 208 people. This module is undergoing deconstruction at the demolition yard in
Leirvik, NOR.
