The audit was conducted between 3 and 7 June 2019.

Objective

The objective of the audit was to investigate how Equinor ensures compliance with the authorities’ requirements and how barrier management contributes to robust solutions at Åsgard B.

Result

The audit identified three non-conformities. These comprised:

  • Deficient follow-up
  • Consequences of worst credible process fire
  • Testing and follow-up of the fire water system

We also found improvement points within the following areas:

  • Risk identification for the review and prioritisation meeting
  • Involvement in and information about changes to maintenance
  • Reporting of hazard and accident situations

What happens now?

We have asked Equinor to report on how the non-conformities will be addressed and for their assessment of the improvement points observed. The deadline for feedback has been set at 16 October 2019.
