On 17 November 2011, BP received consent to use the Valhall onshore control room and associated systems to operate wells on the Valhall field, including Flanke Sør, Flanke Nord and Hod. From early November 2015, the wells have been controlled from a central control room on Valhall PH. In connection with this change, personnel in the control room were assigned new duties and responsibilities. The objective of the audit was to monitor that BP's planning, execution and follow-up of the change process is in compliance with regulatory requirements.
