     <p>The corroded pipe will be replaced. This is expected to require a seven-day shutdown.</p> 
     <p>Troll C has a daily equity production of some 58,000 barrels of oil, and exports 8 million cubic metres of gas. In addition some 34,000 barrels of oil and 2 million cubic metres of gas are transported from the Fram field through the Troll C platform.<br><br><strong>Statoil’s interests:<br></strong>Troll: 30.58%<br> Fram: 45%</p>

Statoil shut down production on the Troll C platform in the North Sea on Sunday 17 August after an inspection programme on the platform detected corrosion damage to a pipe connected to the oil export system.
