Norway’s Petroleum Safety Authority (PSA) has launched an investigation into a hydrocarbon leak on the Gjøa field on 21 June 2017.

The incident happened during normal operations. According to the operator Engie E&P Norge, the leak occurred in a condensate pump. It is unclear how large the leak was.

The condensate did not ignite and no-one was harmed by the incident.

The PSA has decided to investigate this incident.

“Our investigation will focus in particular on discovering the underlying causes, both technical and operational, that may have contributed to the incident,” says the PSA.
