The audit was conducted on 10 and 11 December 2024.

Objective

The objective of the audit was to see, by means of spot checks, how COSL Drilling handles follow-up of structural issues. COSLPioneer has been outside the Norwegian sector for many years and we wanted to gain insight into how relevant testing, inspection and maintenance planning of structural issues has been handled on a facility with acknowledgement of compliance (AoC) that has operated beyond the Norwegian shelf.

Result

No regulatory non-conformities were identified during the audit, but we observed one factor that we have chosen to categorise as an improvement point. This concerned:

  • Surface treatment and inspection programme

What happens now?

We have asked COSL Drilling to give us its assessment of the improvement point observed by 10 February 2025.
