March 22 (Bloomberg) — BP Plc, Europe’s second-largest oil company, and partners plan to spend about 14 billion kroner ($2.3 billion) on a new platform in the North Sea Valhall oil field to extend the field’s production life to 2049.
Norway’s Ministry of Petroleum and Energy received a plan for developing the Valhall field from London-based BP, the operator, and its partners Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Hess Corp. and Total SA, the ministry said in a statement today.
The new platform will replace the three oldest platforms at the field, which has been pumping since 1982 and currently produces about 70,000 barrels of oil per day, the ministry said.
Output from the new platform is expected to begin in 2010, it said.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
