Albuskjell F Platform

The helideck was permanently closed and removed as part of the complete decommissioning of the Albuskjell 2/4 F oil and gas platform. Production from the Albuskjell field ceased in 1990 as it was no longer economically viable. The platform was subsequently dismantled, with the topside (including the helideck) being removed in 2013.

The site is now open sea. The entire Albuskjell 2/4 F platform structure, including the topside, helideck, and steel jacket, has been completely removed from the location and transported ashore for recycling and disposal. There is no physical structure remaining at the coordinates.

This was not a traditional airport, but a private offshore helideck (heliport) crucial for the operation of the Albuskjell 2/4 F platform in the Ekofisk area of the North Sea. From its commissioning in the late 1970s until production ceased, the helideck was a vital logistical link. It exclusively handled helicopter traffic, primarily for transporting personnel for crew changes to and from onshore bases like Stavanger Airport, Sola (ENGV). It also facilitated inter-platform transfers, medical evacuations, and the delivery of urgent supplies and equipment.

None. The closure is permanent. The oil and gas field it served is depleted, and the platform has been fully decommissioned and removed in accordance with international regulations. There are no plans to rebuild any facility at this site.
