Gina Krog is an oil and gas discovery situated around 250km west of Stavanger and 30km northwest of the Sleipner A facility. Water depth at the site is about 110m. The development concept is a new steel platform and an oil storage vessel with a capacity of 850,000 bbl.
The field was proven in 1974. The reservoir contains oil and gas in Middle Jurassic sandstone in the Hugin formation.
