  • Synopsis: The ULA field lies in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea and has recoverable reserves of 160 million barrels of oil - modest by North Sea standards. An economic and safe design was chosen - 3 separate platforms linked by bridges - and the programme shows the jackets and modules being constructed, towed out and assembled on site in the often hostile conditions of the North Sea.
