Mongstad & Sture, Norway
North Sea crude at the source. We arrange tanker freight and inspection for crude loading at Mongstad and Sture in western Norway.
Mongstad is a producer-side export hub. About 40 percent of Equinor's Norwegian-shelf oil is stored in rock caverns there before export, and the site also includes Norway's largest refinery.
Sture, on Alvøy in Øygarden, receives crude from the Oseberg and Grane pipelines and stores it in caverns for export. We arrange tanker freight and inspection for cargoes loading at both terminals.
Crude from the fields
Mongstad receives crude by pipeline from Troll, Johan Sverdrup, Kristin and Gjøa. Its refinery processes about 12 million tonnes a year. Several Norwegian grades are part of the Dated Brent basket.
