Jotun B Platform

The helideck was permanently closed and physically removed as part of the complete decommissioning of the Jotun B platform. This was an economic decision driven by the cessation of production from the Jotun oil field, which had reached the end of its operational life.

The site is now open sea. The Jotun B platform, including the topside structure that housed the helideck, was physically removed from its location in May 2021 by the heavy-lift vessel Sleipnir. The remaining subsea structure (jacket) was removed in the summer of 2022. The platform components were transported to shore for dismantling and recycling. No surface structure exists at the coordinates anymore.

The helideck, identified by the unofficial ICAO code NO-0123, was a critical infrastructure component for the Jotun oil field, which began production in 1999. It was located on the Jotun B wellhead platform in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea. For over two decades, the helideck was the primary point of access for personnel, facilitating regular crew changes, the transport of specialized technicians, delivery of light cargo, and crucial medical evacuations. Helicopter flights, typically originating from Sola Airport (ENZV) near Stavanger, were the lifeline that connected the offshore platform to the mainland, ensuring the safe and continuous operation of the facility.

There are zero prospects for reopening. The physical platform and its integrated helideck have been permanently dismantled and removed. The 'airport' no longer exists.
