The audit was conducted from 18 February to 20 March 2026.

Objective

The objective of the audit was to verify that the project is being carried out in compliance with the HSE regulations, and that, through its project management, Aker BP is ensuring that, in the project execution phase, they are reducing risk and preventing accidents during start-up and operation.

Result

During the audit, we identified two non-conformities relating to:

  • Lack of verification
  • Inadequate non-conformity handling

We also identified one improvement point related to an inadequate decision-making basis for selecting solutions for handling mercury.

What happens now?

We have asked Aker BP to report to us by 1 July 2026 on how the non-conformities will be addressed, and for their assessment of the improvement point observed.
