Objective
On 3 and 4 October 2017, the PSA carried out an audit of Statoil, in which we verified that the follow-up and qualification of field joints for the export pipeline for Johan Sverdrup were being conducted in compliance with the company's own requirements and statutory regulations.
Result
The audit identified no regulatory non-conformities. We observed three areas with potential for improvement. These are document handling, fabrication and technical issues relating to the delivery and long-term testing of polymers.
We have asked Statoil for an assessment of these improvement points by 8 December 2017.
