The audit was conducted from 4 to 8 May 2026.
Objective
The objective of the audit was to verify that Gassco’s management and follow-up of the operation of Draupner within the domains of electrical systems, 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 six regulatory non-conformities. These concerned:
- Deficiencies in the fixed fire suppression facility on Draupner S and Draupner E
- Inadequate compliance with internal requirements
- Deficiencies in documentation
- Deficient follow-up of safety function
- Deficiencies in securing valves in position
- Work in and operation of electrical facilities
We also identified one improvement point relating to omissions in assumptions in analyses.
What happens now?
We have asked the company to report to us by 3 September 2026 on how the non-conformities will be addressed, and to give us their assessment of the improvement point observed.
