Norway is Europe’s largest oil and gas producer and the world’s third-largest natural gas exporter. Equinor (formerly Statoil) operates the flagship Troll, Oseberg, Gullfaks, Snorre, Statfjord, and Johan Sverdrup fields. Aker BP operates Valhall, Alvheim, and Ivar Aasen. Vår Energi operates Balder and Ringhorne. ConocoPhillips operates Ekofisk — the field that opened the North Sea era in 1971. The Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) is governed by the Petroleum Safety Authority Norway (PSA), the most rigorous offshore safety regulator in the world. Every mobile device used on Norwegian offshore installations, at onshore processing terminals such as Kårstø, Kollsnes, Melkøya (Snøhvit LNG), and Nyhamna, must comply with ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU. Infinity EX supplies ATEX-certified mobile phones for Norway’s offshore and onshore petroleum operations.
The Petroleum Safety Authority Norway enforces ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU through the Norwegian Activities Regulations and Management Regulations. Norwegian offshore installations — semi-submersibles, jack-ups, FPSOs, and fixed platforms — contain continuous Zone 1 classified areas around wellheads, process decks, gas compression modules, and living quarters gas detection zones. Johan Sverdrup’s power-from-shore configuration doesn’t eliminate classified zone requirements — hydrocarbon atmospheres persist throughout processing modules regardless of the power source. Every ATEX mobile phone used offshore Norway must be independently tested, carry the Ex marking with correct equipment group (typically IIA or IIB for NCS hydrocarbon atmospheres), and temperature class (T3 or T4), with the complete ATEX Declaration of Conformity available for PSA inspection.
Snøhvit, operated by Equinor 140 kilometres offshore from Hammerfest in the Barents Sea, delivers gas onshore to the Melkøya LNG terminal via a 160-kilometre pipeline. Melkøya’s LNG processing creates continuous Zone 1 classified areas in subzero Arctic conditions — temperatures can fall below -25°C in winter. ATEX mobile phones for Melkøya and similar Arctic environments must remain operational across this temperature range while maintaining ATEX certification. Infinity EX devices are rated and tested for extreme temperature performance.
Norway’s large OFS (oilfield services) sector includes Halliburton, Schlumberger, Baker Hughes, Weatherford, Aker Solutions, Subsea 7, TechnipFMC, and Seadrill — all of whom deploy field workforces requiring ATEX-certified devices across NCS installations and onshore terminals. Norwegian content requirements (Statoil’s Norwegian Supplier Development programme and PSA regulations) drive preference for suppliers with European ATEX certification. Infinity EX provides full PSA-compliant documentation packages and supports Norwegian procurement through authorised distribution channels.
Offshore crane operators, deck technicians, and process operators on Equinor and Aker BP platforms use ATEX mobile phones for emergency communication, lone worker monitoring, permit-to-work digital access, gas detection alarm integration, and real-time data entry in classified process modules. Push-to-talk over cellular (PoC) integration enables communication between workers across different zones of a Norwegian offshore installation without the radio spectrum limitations of traditional UHF/VHF equipment.
