OSLO, Norway — Equinor faces an investigation by Norway’s Petroleum Safety Authority (PSA) following a gas leak earlier this week on the Statfjord B platform in the North Sea.
This incident occurred while the process plant was running up following a shutdown for a turnaround. The leak activated several detectors.
The PSA will seek to clarify the course of events, assess the actual and potential consequences, and determine the direct and underlying causes.
