The Sture terminal receives crude oil through two pipelines from the Oseberg area and the Grane field in the North Sea. The terminal is part of Oseberg Transportation System in which StatoilHydro has a 36.2% stake.
The terminal has storage capacity for 6.3 million barrels of crude.
The processing facilities at Sture recover the lightest components from the unstable crude, extracting LPG mix (propane and butane) and naphtha.
Two crude qualities and LPG mix are exported, and volatile organic compounds (VOC) are recovered when loading tankers.
LPG and naphtha are also transported through the Vestprosess pipeline to Mongstad.
