The audit was conducted from 2 to 5 September 2024 and is part of our case processing of Shelf Drilling’s application for an Acknowledgement of Compliance (AoC) for Shelf Drilling Barsk.
Objective
The objective of the audit was to verify how the company complies with regulatory requirements for electrical systems, safety instrumented systems and technical safety.
Result
We identified six non-conformities during the audit. These concerned:
- Barrier management
- Non-conformity handling
- Competence
- Fire barriers
- Electrical safety
- Analyses
What happens now?
We have asked Shelf Drilling to report to us on how the non-conformities will be addressed. The deadline for this is set at 2 October 2024.
Before we issue an AoC, the company must have corrected all known safety-critical non-conformities, and the facility must have been issued with maritime certificates from the appropriate flag state.
