The audit was conducted from 26 November to 12 December 2025.

Objective

The objective of the audit was to verify how the company handles the follow-up of performance requirements and technical condition in operations, with a focus on old and new safety instrumented systems, so that the safety level is maintained and improvement measures are implemented where necessary.

Result

The audit identified two non-conformities. These concerned:

  • Inadequate re-certification of the Blow Out Preventer (BOP) control system

The description of the second non-conformity is exempt from public disclosure, with reference to the Freedom of Information Act, section 24, 3rd paragraph. It is accordingly not shown under non-conformities and improvement points in the audit report.

We also identified two improvement points:

  • Deficiencies in the independence of the emergency shutdown system
  • Lack of maintenance programme for safety-critical applications

What happens now?

We have asked Okea to report to us by 13 February 2026 on how the non-conformities will be addressed, and for their assessment of the improvement points observed.
