Gas production from the Åsgard field formed the basis for the pipeline system. Flexible risers from the floating Åsgard B gas platform tie into an export riser base on the seabed, which forms the starting point for the 42-inch Åsgard Transport line.

The technically advanced riser base also provides launching facilities for pigs used either to clean the line internally or to inspect its condition. Pipelines from the Norne Heidrun and Draugen fields are tied into Åsgard.

Transport through two subsea connection points. A new export line from Kristin was tied in when this field came into operation in 2005.

Åsgard Transport became operational in 2000.
