The Gorm Field is located in the Danish part of the North Sea. The Gorm D flare structure raises 91 m above sea level. The buffeting load on the flare structure was investigated in order to provide an improved basis for estimating extreme wind load and fatigue damage. Full scale strain measurements combined with model scale wind tunnel measurements was carried out. The measurement results were compared with theoretical buffeting results. The measured and theoretical results were presented according to the Eurocode. Client: Maersk Oil and Gas
