Tyra West – F3 pipeline is a 100-kilometre-long (62-mile) natural gas submarine pipeline connecting Danish and Dutch continental shelf pipeline systems. It facilitates the export of Danish gas into North West Europe. The 660-millimetre (26-inch) pipeline, which cost over US$200 million, runs from the Maersk-operated Tyra West platform on the Danish continental shelf to the F3 – FB platform on the Dutch continental shelf. From the F3 – FB platform, gas is fed through the NOGAT pipeline system to the Netherlands natural gas hub in Den Helder.[1]
The pipeline is operated by Maersk Oil & Gas and owned by Royal Dutch Shell (23%), TotalEnergies (19.5%), Chevron Corporation (7.5%) and Energinet (50%). The pipeline has a capacity of 5.5 billion cubic metres (190 billion cubic feet) of natural gas per year. It is operated by Maersk Oil.[2] The pipeline gives each owner divided rights to transport gas from Denmark for subsequent sale at Den Helder.[1]
