Phase II was to consist of the location of a production platform (2/4 A), a flame tower installation and two drilling platforms (2/4 B and 2/4 C).

At the beginning of phase II, the oil was still to be buoy loaded, but according to the plan, a 34-inch oil pipeline was to be laid ashore.

The landing alternatives examined were: Lista (Norway), Wilhelmshaven (West Germany), Rotterdam (Netherlands) and Teesside (England).
