A Norwegian innovation, two CONDEEPs have been put in place in the British sector; each cost $300 million and has a storage capacity of 900,000 bbl. The tow alone, 163 miles to one field and 225 miles to another, cost $2.7 million per unit - the biggest and most expensive tugboat operation in history...
