OSLO, Norway — Havtil (the Norwegian Ocean Industry Authority) is investigating a fire in a tank on the Equinor-operated Statfjord A platform in the North Sea.
The incident occurred last week during work on the first-stage separator tank, which was empty and prepared for interior cleaning.
A person entering the tank discovered smoke, leading to a general alarm being sounded, with two individuals understood to have been exposed to smoke.
The police are investigating and have asked Havtil to provide assistance.
Havtil has launched its own investigation.
