Recent updates include approval of J structure[2] which started producing in November 2006 and Oseberg Sør G Sentral which has been developed in 2009.

The platform at Oseberg South, which was built for drilling of 30 wells,[4] includes a 125-metre (410 ft) tall steel jacket which supports a total topside dry weight of nearly 14,000 tonnes.

It also includes a 100-bed capacity living quarters, first-stage processing facilities, power generation and utility systems and a high performance drilling package.
