The Petroleum Safety Authority Norway (PSA) has issued an order to Vår Energi (Eni Norge) after an audit of follow-up and management of electrical facilities on Goliat.
From 15 to 19 October 2018, PSA conducted an audit to follow up how Eni is complying with technical, operational and organisational regulatory requirements for electrical facilities on the Goliat floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) unit in the Barents Sea.

Draw up a realistic and binding plan for completing outstanding safety-critical work on the Goliat FPSO. That also includes completing the status of the technical condition of safety-critical barriers
The company has until 1 March 2019 to comply with the order, while PSA must be informed when the order has been met.
