Gina Krog is located 250 kilometres west of Stavanger and 30 kilometres north-west of the Sleipner A facility. The development solution is a new steel platform and an oil storage vessel with a capacity of 850,000 barrels. The field was proven in 1974.
The objective of the audit was to monitor that Statoil, in collaboration with DSME and other stakeholders, is complying with the regulatory requirements for risk and barrier management from a lifecycle perspective.
Result
No non-conformities were identified.
Five improvement points were identified in connection with:
- Risk matrixes
- ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practicable)
- Systems and processes for barrier management
- Vulnerability analysis
- Area classification and ignition source control
Non-conformity:
Entails that a condition is assessed as not complying with a regulatory requirement.
Improvement point:
Entails that we have identified a deficiency or weakness, without there being sufficient grounds for determining a breach of regulatory requirements.
Statoil has been given a deadline of 7 December 2015 to report on how the improvement points will be dealt with.
