Equinor applied for consent to extend the operating life to 30 June 2036.
The consent for extended operating life is contingent on the operator having ascertained that the facilities, pipelines and equipment are in a state that permits them to always be operated safely and in compliance with regulatory requirements.
We find that Equinor has carried out the necessary assessments and investigations to ascertain this.
We have now given Equinor the consent applied for.
