Separate pipelines for oil and gas arrived from 2/7 FTP and two continued over the 16 kilometres to Ekofisk 2/4 R until 1998, when they were switched to Ekofisk 2/4 J.

Oil and gas were produced from 19 wells and separated. The crude was stabilised and exported in a 24-inch pipeline, with the gas dehydrated and compressed before entering a 30-inch pipeline.

The lowest platform deck was 18 metres above sea level, and its highest point was 87 metres up.

History
The Bravo Blow out
The “abandon platform” alarm sounded on Ekofisk 2/4 B – the Bravo installation – at 22.00 on Friday 22 April 1977. An uncontrolled escape of oil and gas had begun in well B-14. Large quantities of oil and gas spurted five-six metres into the air before falling into the sea. What should not have happened had occurred. The question was how this could be possible.
