From 3 to 30 November 2017, we carried out an audit of Statoil focused on maintenance, materials handling and lifting equipment in the construction and completion phase for the processing and riser facilities for the Johan Sverdrup field.
Objective
The objective of the audit was to monitor that Statoil, in collaboration with the participants in the Johan Sverdrup development project, is finding solutions compliant with the preconditions in the plan for development and operation (PDO), applicable regulations and relevant standards, as well as Statoil's own requirements.
The audit focused in particular on Statoil's follow-up of the execution, commissioning, design and arrangements for materials handling, safe use of lifting equipment, maintenance planning and preservation of plant, systems and equipment on the facilities.
Result
The audit identified improvement points in respect of arrangements for safe and effective lifting operations, materials handling plans and maintenance management.
We have asked Statoil to report on how the improvement points will be addressed by 23 February 2018.
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.
