One be blamed on hydrogen leakage at the Plant 25. October 2016 might have ended with a fatality under the negligible changes in circumstances. It now admits Statoil in an investigation that will be presented on Friday, where the incident is classified as red – the highest severity.
For the first time admits Statoil that the lack of maintenance associated with a serious incident. In Mpe report, as DN has disclosed, pointing the investigation team on several årsaksforklaringer to the event. Directly triggering causes were external corrosion of the siphon and the valve fell off when the operator tried to shut this.
But several underlying causes being pulled forward. Lack of management of maintenance and lack of resources are factors that are central in the investigation. The report points to the lack of surface treatment, the absence of inspection and deferment of parts of the maintenance program to the appropriate section of the A-1200 under rehabilitation in 2002-2003. The report points out that A 1200 has not been sufficient priority when it comes to overflateprogrammet at Mongstad, and that overflatevedlikeholdet in this facility several times have been pushed forward in time. The report goes a long way to indicate that the finance and resource flow has had an impact on priorities, which in turn has led to a backlog in the overflatevedlikeholdet.
Hudfletter management
the main employee representative Jan-Eirik Secure in the safety deposit Box-club at the refinery are well aware of the contents of the report. He believes it is no surprise that hydrogenlekkasjen was linked to the lack of maintenance.
– It is safe to say. We have seen it a long time. The unions have were on it many times. It is not only missing, but deferred maintenance. A have pushed this in front of him, ” says the Attach.
He believes the incident and the report places a heavy responsibility on the three key Statoil-tops, namely, former executive vice president for processing, Eldar Sætre, a former commander of the onshore facilities, Arne Sigve Nylund, former head of the refinery, Lars Rosenløv. All three have caught up in the Statoil organization, and Sætre are now chief.
I think it is a part positions one should look at if it is the right people in, ” says the Attach.
They have used the term “economic controlled maintenance”, but it is not the way it should be, maintenance will be governed by SAFETY considerations, ” says the Attach.
He prices himself lucky for that hydrogenlekkasjen not ended with an explosion. Hydrogen is among the most flammable substances that exist.
It is the first time I’ve been out for a be blamed on hydrogen leakage. The gas could be ignited. When could a been fatalities. There was a man inside this. When can one call it luck, but we shall not rely on luck, ” says the Attach.
the Mongstad refinery had before the new year is an outage of more than one month in half of the facility related to another leak. Attaching the believe this was the symptom of the corresponding vedlikeholdssvikt.

Events happening at the same time as Statoil in tredjekvartalsrapporten reported an increase in the index which shows the serious incidents. The negative developments happening at the same time as the company conducts a comprehensive kuttprogram.
– It people go and think about, is: is it my turn? Am I the next that needs to go in nedbemanningsrundene? It does something to the psychology of the business, the chief union representative Bjørn Asle Teige previously stated to Dagens Næringsliv.
