From 26 to 27 June 2018, we carried out an audit of Shell and its work on replacing flexible risers on the Draugen field in the Norwegian Sea.
Object
The object of the audit was to verify that the new flexible risers for Draugen were designed and manufactured in compliance with the company's requirements and statutory regulations.
Topics of the audit included status and plans, risk handling, involvement of operations, governing documents, analyses, non-conformity handling, follow-up of suppliers, verification activities, learning and documentation.
Result
The audit identified no regulatory non-conformities, but two improvement points. These concerned the areas of risk management and investigations and continuous improvement.
We have asked Shell to provide feedback with its assessment of the improvement points we observed by 1 September 2018.
