The development solution for the Goliat field consists of a circular floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO)
of the Sevan 1000 type. Goliat's energy needs are met partially by electricity supplied by cable from onshore and partially by a gas turbine generator on board the facility.
The PSA has carried out an audit of Eni Norge's efforts to ensure compliance with the electrical installation requirements in the petroleum regulations. The audit was conducted through meetings and presentations at Eni Norge's premises in Forus on 1 September 2015, and interviews and checks on the Goliat FPSO vessel in the period 7-10 September 2015.
