This document discusses Statoil's history and advancements in subsea gas compression technology. It outlines key projects including Ormen Lange, Gullfaks, and Åsgard that demonstrated technological leaps in subsea wet gas compression and full-field subsea gas compression. It describes how subsea gas compression works, with templates on the seafloor separating gas, oil, and water and recompressing the gas for export through manifolds and pipelines.
