Norway Cites ‘Serious’ Regulatory Breaches in Hammerfest LNG Fire
The Norwegian Petroleum Safety Authority (PSA) said a fire last year at Equinor ASA’s 4.3 million metric tons/year Hammerfest liquefied natural gas terminal resulted from “serious breaches” of regulations.
The facility in northern Norway, where a fire broke out last September, receives and liquefies natural gas from the Snohvit field in the Barents Sea. It is Europe’s largest liquefaction terminal. The outage was one of several across the world that led to tighter supplies earlier this year, when natural gas prices in Europe and Asia soared amid a historic cold snap.
