During the period of 5-7 January 2016, the Petroleum Safety Authority (PSA) Norway conducted an audit on ENI Norge's facility Goliat FPSO. The audit was conducted as a follow-up to an audit carried out in June 2015 linked to logistics on Goliat.
The PSA carried out a number of logistics audits in 2012, 2014 and 2015. Non-conformities and improvement points were identified during all of these audits. The PSA's logistics audit on Goliat conducted in June 2015 revealed that many of the same circumstances, both technical and operational, which were identified during the previous audits, had still not been rectified.
The aim of the audit in January 2016 was to assess whether the requirements laid down in the regulations concerning logistics and the requirements for employee participation were now being complied with.
From the January 2016 audit, serious breaches of the regulations were identified. On the basis of this, we have notified ENI of the following two orders:
