The Petroleum Safety Authority Norway (PSA) has carried out an audit of Okea and their management of major accident risk and barriers on the Draugen field. The audit was carried out from 7 March to 13 April 2023.
Objective
The objective of the audit was to assess how Okea ensures compliance with regulatory requirements concerning the management of major accident risk and barriers within technical safety, process safety and electrical engineering at Draugen.
During the audit, we also wanted to verify that previously identified non-conformities had been addressed in accordance with feedback to us.
Result
The audit identified one non-conformity in the following area:
Follow-up of performance requirements
In addition, we observed two matters that we have chosen to categorise as improvement points. These concerned:

Analyses at technical level
What happens now?
We have asked Okea to report to us by 8 June 2023 on how the non-conformity will be addressed, and for their assessment of the improvement points observed.
