As wells were drilled from DP2 towards the reservoir on the UK side, beneath CDP1, wells from the latter installation were gradually plugged and abandoned. CDP1 was finally shut down on 8 November 1990 after 13 years of producing gas for the British market. When the platforms on Frigg are removed, only the concrete GBS for CDP1 will remain.
