     <p>The king and queen of Spain visited the Statoil operated Troll A platform today, 8 June, along with Norway's king and queen.</p> 
     <p>The royal couples headed a delegation of 36 visitors, 18 of whom are from Spain, including Spanish foreign minister Miguel Angel Moratinos.</p> 
     <p>King Juan Carlos, Queen Sofia, King Harald and Queen Sonja were accompanied by Statoil's chief executive Helge Lund.</p> 
     <p>Platform manager Karsten Storebø showed them round.</p> 
     <p>Mr Lund talked to the delegation about Statoil's role as a reliable supplier of gas to Europe, of Troll's significance as the largest gas field on the Norwegian continental shelf and about plans for the future.</p> 
     <p>The royal couples were then taken down inside the platform shaft to 303 metres below sea level.</p> 
     <p>This was the first time Statoil hosted a visit to a platform by two royal couples.</p> 
     <p>Mr Storebø was also platform manager on Troll A the last time King Harald paid a visit in June 1998.</p>
