Viking Gas Transmission is a natural gas pipeline which takes gas from the TransCanada pipeline in Minnesota and brings it to Wisconsin. It is owned by ONEOK Partners. Its FERC code is 82.
Viking transmission system (UK)
The Viking transmission system (VTS) also refers to natural gas infrastructure in the UK sector of the southern North Sea. The Viking gas field is located in Block 49/17 and had recoverable reserves of 79.30 billion cubic metres. It was developed through two installations Viking A and Viking B. These also received gas from satellite fields. Gas was transmitted from Viking A to the onshore Viking gas terminal via an 87 mile 28-inch diameter pipeline. Gas production started in 1972 and ceased in 2018. The Viking gas terminal was renamed Theddlethorpe gas terminal in the late 1980s and was demolished in 2021.

Why this record matters
The phrase “open-knowledge reference entry” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 30, 2023. The linked authority identifier is Q7929467. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1972, 2018 and 2021.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
