The National Geographic Channel has included the Ormen Lange development in a series covering the world's most incredible constructions. The shooting of footage to describe Hydro's huge Ormen Lange project has now begun.
 The "Megastructures" television series focuses on the world's most astounding constructions. Some are frequently-visited, major tourist attractions; others are the kind that most people can only dream of seeing. The TV programmes will shed light on the architecture, function, and underlying plans for these fantastic constructions.
The Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco, and the enormous, man-made Palm Islands of Dubai are among the massive constructions that are explored in the series. Viewers can also look forward to a programme on the Hoover Dam in the USA – and on the Ormen Lange development.
A subsea giant, Ormen Lange will be the world's longest subsea pipeline upon completion. Through the Ormen Lang, Norwegian field will be able to supply 20 per cent of UK consumers' gas requirements.
Vegar Stokset, Hydro's Public Affairs Manager for the Ormen Lange said: “Last week Ormen Lange was in the spotlight at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston, at the world's largest oil exhibition. A separate TV programme on Ormen Lange is already being broadcast on Discovery Channel, and now the prestigious National Geographic Channel has started its filming. It reinforces the message that it is possible to think big and achieve a great deal in a small country.”
