From 8 to 11 April 2019, Norway’s Petroleum Safety Authority carried out an audit of ConocoPhillips Skandinavia AS (Copsas)’s management of emergency preparedness at the Eldfisk Complex, identifying a non-conformity relating to deficiencies in signage and marking.
The objective of the audit was to review and assess Copsas’s management of emergency preparedness at the Eldfisk Complex.
We wanted to monitor the processes that Copsas has established to ensure that assumptions, limitations and recommendations in the emergency preparedness analysis are catered for, and that these have been communicated to the emergency preparedness organisation. We also wanted to monitor that a system for continuous improvement has been implemented and that collaboration has been provided for,
…the Authority said.
Except from the non-conformity, an improvement point was observed, relating to deficiencies in the emergency preparedness training system.
Copsas has been given a deadline of 6 June 2019 to report on how the non-conformity and improvement point will be addressed.
Eldfisk is the second largest of three producing fields in the Greater Ekofisk Area and one of the largest on the Norwegian continental shelf.
The field is located in block 2/7, about 16 kilometers south of Ekofisk, not far from the UK and Danish shelves.
