Vår Energi AS has entered into an agreement with Telenor Maritime to equip the Goliat field in the Barents Sea with 2G and 4G networks, improving safety and emergency response capability in the region.

“We are delighted to conclude our efforts in securing this agreement which will enhance the network reliability on the Goliat field. Other offshore activities will benefit from improved safety and emergency response due to the mobile network coverage available for people at sea,” says Asbjørn Skoge, Asset Manager Barents Sea in Vår Energi.

“Telenor Maritime already operates mobile 4G networks on the Norwegian continental shelf and is pleased to sign this agreement with Vår Energi. We are building on the experiences made from delivering tailor-made mobile solutions in the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea, as we expand our businesses into the arctic waters of the Barents Sea,” says Lars Erik.
