Fires that crippled two Equinor plants in Norway last year were caused by both technical and human errors, the energy company said on Wednesday, promising to hire and train more staff.
A blaze last September at Hammerfest LNG, Europe s only large-scale liquefied natural gas plant, caused an outage expected to last 18 months, while a fire in December at the Tjeldbergodden methanol facility took two months to repair. We are bolstering our recruitment of engineering resources within electrical disciplines and up to 50 skilled workers are bound for the onshore facilities, the company said in a statement.
Norway: Authorities and research communities share knowledge about seepage from the seabed
11 May 2021
Causes, risks and effects linked to seepage from the seabed were among the topics discussed at a workshop including participants from the
Petroleum Safety Authority, the
Norwegian Petroleum Directorate and several professional and research communities.
Seepage from the seabed can have many causes. It can occur in connection with human activity or be caused by natural processes. There has been a greater focus on seepage from the seabed recently, where seepage of methane gas from or around wells drilled in connection with petroleum activity has been mentioned and discussed.
