Well, the largest project in recent Norwegian history is the Johan Sverdrup oil field in the North Sea (nearly 3 billion barrels, production of about 600K barrels/day and enough to reverse decades of declining production).
It was discovered in 2010, and started operation a few weeks ago. Included in its construction are a 283 km oil pipeline and a 156 km gas pipeline, laid underwater.
If a similar field was discovered off a coast of Canada today, what's the expectation of how long it will take to get into production, or would it ever be built at all?
