The audit was conducted from 25 to 29 August 2025.
Objective
The objective of the audit was to assess how Equinor ensures that risk and barrier management, including technical, organisational and operational barriers, complied with the company’s and the authorities’ requirements, so as to reduce the likelihood of failures.
Result
Six non-conformities were identified, concerning:
- Division of the production facility
- Non-conformity management – main safety function
- Risk reduction
- Firewater system
- Marking in the field
- Mapping of non-electrical ignition sources
In addition, three improvement points were identified, concerning:
- Establishment and follow-up of performance requirements
- Documentation
- Barrier management
What happens next?
We have asked Equinor to report by 8 December 2025 on how the non-conformities will be addressed and for their assessment of the improvement points observed.
