I remember watching an hour long episode about this on TV years ago, they called it a Troll and I couldn’t believe what I was watching. To this day it’s still amazing. It’s in the Guinness book of world records for heaviest man-made object ever moved. I’m sure it also holds other record’s
Your talking about the Troll A documentary, it's on youtube as well. The Gullfak C is seen above is actually a different oil platform, but both are incredibly massive. The Troll A is the tallest object ever moved on earth and sometimes quoted as the heaviest as well, but the Gullfak C is actually the heaviest, though not as tall. ua-cam.com/video/se26Ux9QD44/v-deo.html en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_oil_platforms
It is breathtaking to look at, all the engineers and amazing workers working together to build such a complex structure and move that massive thing across the long distances of water. Truly makes me realise and be in awe about how far the humanity has come over last 200 years and how many great things it has achieved in such a small period of time.

@@FabFunty I'm sorry I have so offended you, I got that information back about ten years ago from the chief engineer of a major oil company in the U.S. The Oil shale in the Bakken field in N.

The oil fields in the Permian Basin now are producing more oil than ever before, with an estimated 20 billion barrels of oil and another 16 trillion cubic ft. of natural gas. “How can we have been drilling in the Permian Basin for 100 years and then find out it has twice as much as we thought?” -T.

Pull up images of (Shale Plays) across the U.S., Through the use of advancing technology, several years ago it was found that the U.S. has more oil reserves than the middle East, A lot of oil can be extracted from shale but the price per barrel has to be above about 42 dollars a barrel to be profitable, we are becoming oil independent, (not using oil from OPEC) and being subject to their raising and lowering prices continually.

That 1980’s Synthesizer though, LOL !
Don't forget the Brits who worked on this and other Norwegian projects, engineers and draffies, and trades as well.
Now most of them are either Norwegian or Indian. Not many brits left
15:10 big contrast from the heaviest man-made object ever moved, to one guy that struggle to start his outboard motor 😅
Amazing what people before us did so we can enjoy the wellfare today.
An amazing engineering project 👏
Super videaso!.
How many trips with a wheelbarrow does it take to pour 100,000 cubic meters of concrete.
He said, “250 Meters, Meter by Meter.” At 11:28 JEEZ! LOUISE!!
centimeter by centimeter
Great stuff, thanks for posting :-)
Extraordinário...
the flightsimulator on GFC is kick ass, best i'we seen on any northsea installations and pooltables and great cinema, loved my stay
How can I book a reservation? I would love to take the family out there sometime and the kids will love it
@@Chaosfury50 you cant, only specialized personnel are allowed on the rig and only for work, its not a hotel
A proud moment for Norway.

At, 6:33 He said, “The first major job is the slip form construction of the 56 meter high storage cell”, (That’s 183 feet. They sure look much much taller to me!!)
3:25 Makes one wonder what's more heavily reinforced; a nuclear reactor containment dome or the domes of a condeep like Gullfaks C or Troll A?
Meus parabéns que nosso senhor Jesus Cristo, também nossa senhora Aparecida, abençoar cada um que concluiu está obra Amém
Thank you for the video. Very interesting.
So amazing work

wow an old intergraph computer, havent seen one of those in years.
The HSE in this video is better than in many Middle East yards today

Awesome Brain Power Experts @Work.
When Gullfaks was the biggest structure ever moved.
It still is
@@tttttsksl Troll A is
Unreal.
What a great and impressive Project. Thanks for the Video. However, at 7:15 into it " several thousand tonnes of sand and gravel go through the mixer...." Hmmm, how about cement and freshwater...no?
the 1980,s synthesizer sounds kill me
anyone recognize the synthesizer music starting at 15:50

Reminds me of Miami vice
Ron Pearlman is great
They couldn't get the guys doing the slipforms a concrete pump?? Doing it one wheelbarrow at a time lol
They got it done
Watching this made me thirsty for concrete.
Were feeling and seeing the same vision 👈👷♂️
Вау 🙉😲🙊👍
great pictures
How many shafts are water shafts and how many are utility shafts and which ones are utility shafts?
Engineering marvel, congrats.
