Ekofisk Industrial Heritage
• Discovered in 1969, Ekofisk was the first oil and gas field on the Norwegian continental shelf.
• With the encouragement of the Norwegian Cultural Heritage Directorate, Ekofisk was the focus of the first pioneering project, funded by ConocoPhillips Norge.
• Main themes: the fields in the area, the platforms, living and working environment, important incidents and the influence of Ekofisk on Norwegian society.
