Statfjord North was discovered by Norskald in 1977 and lies in block 33/9.

This field and Statfjord East are tied back to the Statfjord C platform as satellite developments.

Statfjord North lies about 22 kilometres north-east of Statfjord C, and has been developed with three subsea templates (D, E and F).  These installations are tied back to Statfjord C with 10-inch flowlines.  The D template is for water injection, while the other two handle oil production.

All installations on the field are subsea, and remotely operated from Statfjord C.
