Offshore staff
Statoil says that the lifeboats on its Veslefrikk and Kristin fields will be reinforced after defects were discovered in one of these craft during June.
Work on this program begun at the supplier, Schat-Harding. All of the strengthened boats will be tested before being returned offshore. Three of the lifeboats are located on the Veslefrikk A and B platforms in the North Sea, and the other three have been placed on the Kristin installation in the Norwegian Sea.
In addition to its own output of about 30,000 b/d of oil, Veslefrikk remotely operates the Huldra gas field with a daily production of roughly six million cu m.
