The Sleipner gas field is a natural gas field in the block 15/9[1] of the North Sea, about 250 kilometres (160 mi) west of Stavanger, Norway. Two parts of the field are in production, Sleipner West (proven in 1974), and Sleipner East (1981).[2][3] The field produces natural gas and light oil condensates from sandstone structures about 2,500 metres (8,200 ft) below sea level. It is operated by Equinor. The field is named after the eight-legged steed Sleipnir of Odin a widely revered god in Norse mythology.
