On Tuesday, Equinor halted all production from the Johan Sverdrup field, western Europe’s biggest producer. An outage in the offshore power system has been cited as the cause.
A Jan. 26, 2022 BOE post questioned Norway’s electrification policy for offshore platforms. Another post discussed a loss of power to the Sverdrup field only 10 weeks ago.
In addition to the production losses, these incidents increase safety risks and onshore electricity prices with no net environmental benefit.
Hopefully, the investigation reports will be posted so that the lessons learned can be shared.
