Wintershall Norge received consent from the Petroleum Safety Authority Norway (PSA) to use the facilities on the Vega field in the North Sea.

Wintershall took over operatorship of Vega from Norway’s Statoil in September 2014.

According to the PSA, a change of operator entails an application for consent to use facilities, since consent is an expression of the PSA’s confidence that the operating company is able to assume responsibility for operations in a proper manner and in compliance with the regulations; it is primarily based on our assessment of relevant aspects of the company's management system.

Vega lies due north of the Fram field in the northern part of the North Sea, in 370m water depth.

The field consists of three separate gas and condensate occurrences: 35/8-1, 35/8-2 Vega and 35/11-2 Vega Sør. A combined PDO for Vega and Vega Sør was approved by the authorities in June 2007. The field has been developed using three subsea templates tied back to the Gjøa field processing facility.
