The emergency vessels Skandi Mongstad and Esvagt Bergen have used seawater to cool down the platform from a distance during the day.
The vessels will remain stationed outside the unmanned Sleipner B platform and monitor the situation for as long as necessary.
A SAR helicopter will fly over the platform with a thermal imaging camera to monitor the situation.
There is no danger to life and health. Production from Sleipner B has been shut down, and the platform is depressurized and without power.
The reduction in gas exports resulting from this incident will not have any consequences for the commitments that we have made to our customers.
