It is 220 kilometres (140 mi) long and runs from Grane oil field to the Sture terminal, located 65 kilometres (40 mi) north of Bergen, Norway. The pipeline operations commenced with start of production in the Grane oil field.^[1]

The pipeline diameter is 29 inches (740 mm). The capacity of the Grane oil pipeline is 34,000 cubic metres per day (1,200,000 cu ft/d) of oil.^[2] The greatest sea depth pipeline passes through is 355 metres (1,165 ft) - through the Norwegian Trench. Over 110,000 tonnes of rock and gravel were used on the seabed to establish the correct foundation for the pipeline.^[3] The estimated lifetime of the pipeline is expected to be 30 years.^[1]
