The audit was conducted from 28 May to 6 June 2025.
Objective
The objective of the audit was to verify that Equinor’s management and follow-up of the operation of Gudrun within the domains of technical safety and process safety comply with the company’s own and the authorities’ requirements, so as to reduce the likelihood of failures.
Result
The audit identified two non-conformities in the following areas:
- Deficiencies in fixed firefighting facilities
- Deficiencies in fire doors and passive fire protection
We also observed one factor that we have chosen to categorise as an improvement point. This concerned:
- Follow-up of performance requirements
What happens now?
We have asked Equinor Energy AS to report to us by 24 September 2025 on how the non-conformities will be addressed, and to give us their assessment of the improvement point observed.
