You know, the platforms in the North Sea are there in relation so we get oil and gas, and what can be processed of these things to other things, like lubricating oils and miscellaneous, and there are different fields in the North Sea outside Norway, and we are just governing them in relation to how big the Finance Department wants The Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global to be, and we are all in the lifecycle of the life, and when we are small and old, it costs money to have the society in its running operations, and when we are working we are contributing to the welfare and wealth level in Norway.
You know, there are different research going on in the North Sea, first we have the pre-production phase, and so the platform is in production phase, and after we have pumped up the oil, the gas, or both we have a post-production phase, determining among ourselves and among the power elite what should be done with the platform or the platforms. And one of these fields, we had the Alexander Kielland-platform named after our famous author. And Ekofisk is a field in the southern part of the Norwegian sector in the North Sea. The water depth is 70 metres. Ekofisk was discovered in 1969, and it was around Christmas times in 1969, that we found something down there in the North Sea, and this was Norways first oil platforms and first oil field, and we became rich after that, because it was more wealth to be pumped up to the sea level, and to the benefit and distribution for the pleasure of households, individual persons and firms both in domestic and in foreign areas.
Alexander L. Kielland was a Norwegian owned and French built platform that was used as a residential platform on the Ekofisk field in the North Sea. The platform that had name after the Norwegian author Alexander Lange Kielland, was known when it was overturned by a high wave which destroyed one of its legs, and this was a tragic and black day for Norway, and it happened on 27 March 1980.
The accident was the worst in the North Sea on Norwegian area since the Second World War, and it is the largest industry accident in Norway. Of the 212 persons on board, only 89 survived. And 123 died, and 87 of these were found, and 36 remained saved. After the turning operation of the platform in 1983, even 6 more of the 36 were found, and hence we are missing 30 persons today, that we never saw again.
We are just seeing different things happening around us, between us, and in the core of us, and this thing is how we are treating ourselves as the BEST person ever in the schools, and how are the schools ranked today, and could any Norwegian professor be fixed employed at Harvard, and professor Fridtjof Nansen is the only professor in Norway through all times being employed as principal at St. Andrews in Scotland, and the student came to him in London, when he was travelling his route to that mentioned university in Scotland.
Ok, 38 persons from the county called for Agder where I come from died in the Alexander Kielland-accident, and Odvar Nordli was the prime minister at that time in Norway, and he had really taken his Easter holiday at his cottage in Trysil, and this message was really a shock for many being involved in these bad things. The accident was not researched in all things that happened, but it was pointed on several critical conditions. And Eva Joly and several other persons have in the period after the accident determined to do much more research on these things, and things are coming to surface about this accident, and there are many questions to be answered, and maybe we can answer them with research, and maybe we cannot do anything forever and ever with this accident, but Eva Joly has said, that the state ignored the responsibility to shipping company, oil company and control bodies. And there were cracks in the platform before the accident came, and the cracks in the platform had been observed by divers before the accident, and The Norwegian Veritas had accepted a postponement of the repair, and we know that Veritas is in the brand of Harvard, and this should signal quality, and quality that matters.
