StatoilHydro resume production on Brage and Veslefrikk

Production on the Brage and Veslefrikk fields has been resumed after the small fire on the Oseberg A platform in the North Sea on 15 June.

The small fire occurred at around 17:30 in a high voltage room on the Oseberg A platform which is part of the Oseberg field centre.

The high voltage room supplies electric power to the utility systems on the field centre.

Both the processing and the transport of oil and gas from the Oseberg field centre were stopped immediately.

All safety and emergency response measures were implemented as intended during the incident and all personnel on board were taken well care of.

Oil from Brage and Veslefrikk is transported via the Oseberg field centre. Oil production from both platforms could be resumed at around 02.00 Monday morning.

Production on the Oseberg A platform and the associated Tune, Oseberg South and Oseberg East fields, which use the Oseberg field centre for both processing and transport, is still shut down.

Production will be resumed as soon as the damages on the involved parts of the facility have been repaired.

Total oil production shut down due to the incident amounts to 150.000 barrels/day.
