Equinor – Johan Castberg – completion and preparation for safe start-up and operation

The audit was conducted on 12 and 13 November 2024.

Objective

The objective of the audit was to verify that operational conditions for start-up and use comply with the HSE regulations, so as to reduce the likelihood of failure, hazard and accident situations at the start of operations.

Result

No non-conformities were identified during the audit, but we observed two factors that we have chosen to categorise as improvement points. These concerned:

• Barrier management
• Planning

What happens now?

We have asked Equinor to give us their assessment of the improvement points observed by 14 January 2025.
