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.
