Skirne, which also includes the Byggve deposit,[1] is an offshore gas field in the North Sea located 24 kilometres (15 mi) east of the Heimdal gas field and 140 kilometres (87 mi) from Stavanger, Norway.

Both Skirne and Byggve are considered satellites to Heimdal field and are connected to it by subsea pipelines.

[3] TotalFinaElf which is the operator had received the approval from Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy for development of the fields in 2002.

[4] Both Skirne and Byggve combined have an estimated 230 billion cubic feet (6.5×10^9 m3) of natural gas and about 10 million barrels of condensate.

[5] The fields are interconnected through two single-well tie-backs and transported to treatment facilities at Heimdal Gas Center, from which the processed gas is then exported to the United Kingdom through the Vesterled pipeline.
