OSLO, Norway – The Norwegian Petroleum Safety Authority is investigating an oil spill incident at the Gullfaks C platform in the North Sea early last week.
The discharge to the sea is thought to be connected to start-up of production from the Tordis field, a tieback to the platform.
Operator Equinor estimates the size of the spill at 17.5 cu m (618 cu ft) of oil.
