Equinor will establish and operate a new area-wide emergency preparedness solution for the southwestern Barents Sea. The solution will add new resources, expertise and capabilities that will strengthen safety and emergency preparedness in this ocean area.
“Safety is our number one priority, we must have a good emergency preparedness system in place wherever we operate. Together with the other operators, the authorities and the supply industry, we have through fifty years developed the preparedness for the fields in the North Sea and in the Norwegian Sea. With Johan Castberg coming on stream towards the end of the year and increased activity in the north, we are now establishing an area-wide emergency preparedness system in the Barents Sea in the Barents Sea,” says Grete B. Haaland, Equinor’s senior vice president for Exploration & Production North.
