Objective
The objective of the audit was to investigate compliance with the regulatory requirements for insulation and potential future problems with corrosion under insulation.
Result
During the audit, we made observations relating to:
- Holistic thinking in management of the work
- Choice of materials
- Need for insulation
- Standardisation
- Framework agreement with insulation supplier
- Competence and continuity
The project is in the planning (FEED) phase and a decision on implementing and submitting a plan for development and operation (PDO) is scheduled for Autumn 2018.
The phase 2 development is a planned necessary continuation of Johan Sverdrup phase 1 and consists of a processing facility and major modifications to the riser facility that include a development for power from onshore. Production start for phase 2 is scheduled for 2022. The field has an estimated lifetime of 50 years.
Johan Sverdrup
Johan Sverdrup is a field on the Utsira High in the central part of the North Sea, 65 kilometres northeast of the Sleipner fields. The water depth in the area is 110-120 metres. Johan Sverdrup was discovered in 2010 and the plan for development and operation (PDO) for Phase I was approved in 2015. The development solution for the first development phase is a field centre with four specialised platforms: living quarters, process, drilling and riser facilities. Production started in 2019.
The PDO for Phase II was approved in 2019. The development solution comprises a process platform and five subsea templates. Production from phase II started in 2022.
