Operational Update - Yme MOPUStor Platform
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
A scheduled meeting took place Thursday 12 July between the representatives of
SBM Offshore, Talisman, and their respective consultants as well as the
independant certifying authority, Det Norske Veritas (DNV), at the SBM Offshore
headquarters in Schiedam, The Netherlands.
As planned, the meeting addressed the issues arising from potential cracks in
the grouting around the legs of the Yme MOPU STOR platform, as well as the
decision taken by Talisman as the operator to de-mobilise the platform and
evacuate it some 48 hours earlier.
The meeting provided for a comprehensive examination of the calculation reports
submitted by SBM, a discussion of the potential cracks, its causes and options
for treatment. In concluding, DNV, the appointed independent third party
assessor, undertook to produce a near term report for both Talisman and SBM
Offshore on the safety of the platform.
As a consequence of the discussion with all concerned, SBM Offshore has found no
reason to change its view that the platform is, and has been, a safe operating
environment for all project teams. However, Talisman as operator of the facility
has sole responsibility for mobilisation of the facility or withdrawal of
personnel and has decided not to remobilise yet.
Bruno Chabas, CEO of SBM Offshore commented:
"Today's meeting was a constructive discussion. We have to respect that
Talisman, as operator, can take this decision. SBM Offshore is committed, now as
before, to completing this facility swiftly, efficiently and safely, and
bringing it on stream for the benefit of our client and the host authority,
Norway. However, we are exploring other avenues to get back on board of the
platform and finish the work."
