Objective
The audit focused on Equinor's management and follow-up of Visund in the areas:

Result
The audit identified breaches of the regulations in the following areas:
- Planning and prioritisation
- Risk reduction
- Non-conformity handling
- Maintenance

We also observed one factor that we have chosen to categorize as an improvement point. This concerned:

What happens now?
We have asked Equinor to report to us by 14 February 2022 on how the non-conformities will be addressed, and to give us their assessment of the improvement point observed.
