7. St Fergus Gas Terminal • Frigg was the initiating factor for establishing St Fergus Gas Terminal • Delivering more than 35% of the UK domestic gas consumption at peak Capture the Energy, 13.03.2208, Erik Hjelde

10. The Frigg UK Archive • Aberdeen University have given open access to our files • They have made an independant judgement of what is considered representative to retain • Documentation on present operations have been excluded • The archive at the University consist of: • OPEN: Documents have been given to Aberdeen University and available to the public • RESTRICTED: A case by case evaluation by TOTAL • Restricted archive is to be evaluated every 5th year Capture the Energy, 13.03.2208, Erik Hjelde

11. Frigg UK Project Experience • It has been a pleasure working with the professionals at Aberdeen University • Very pleased with the result • Meeting an academic institution versus our more operational world has been interesting • Established a cooperation across the border with the Norwegian Petroleum Museum in Stavanger • Very happy to see how the Capturing the Energy has developed with the Frigg UK Documentation project as a reference Capture the Energy, 13.03.2208, Erik Hjelde

12. What would likely happened if not taken an initiative now? • Documentation at a remote storage would even be more remote as time passes • Some ”clever” guy would most likely decide to burn the documentation to save cost on storage as no further use • Loose valuable personal knowledge as time passes • Decommissioning is not the only opportunity but it really is the last chance to capture the history Capture the Energy, 13.03.2208, Erik Hjelde

13. Thoughts about the future • Maintain the momentum now established within the CTE • Complete the ”scoping study” and use it as a guideline to define the way forward • One entity should take a leading role to record the history • Maintain the cross border relationship • Keep an eye on the Decommissioning Programmes subject for statutory consultation • It is all part of our social responsibility Capture the Energy, 13.03.2208, Erik Hjelde
