Greenpeace targeted FPSO
Greenpeace activists targeted the 'PetroJarl Rosebank' as it left Walvis Bay in Namibia after refueling, enroute to the Rosebank oil and gas field off the coast of the Shetland Islands on the UK Continental Shelf, with the 'Rainbow Warrior III'. Four activists used rigid-hulled inflatable boats and kayaks to reach the FPSO and managed to paint ‘they profit, we pay’ on its hull. Six more activists surrounded the FPSO with banners opposing the project while the Warrior displayed a giant banner hung between its masts reading “Stop Rosebank’. The FPSO had stopped in Namibia for refueling before proceeding to the Rosebank field, where the oil majors Shell, Equinor, and Ithaca were hoping to commence production, subject to being granted the go-ahead by the UK government. The FPSO was being towed to the UK waters by tugs. This was the second time in five days that Greenpeace activists had targeted the FPSO, unfurling their “Stop Rosebank” banner on March 20, 2025.
MOB boat lost during test
On Nov 22, 2017, in connection with the completion of the MOB installation aboard the "Petrojarl Knarr" in the Knarr oil field, the boat davit was tested by the supplier by swinging the davit beyond the side. In connection with the manoever, the hydraulics failed on davit, and a boat fell into the sea. A standby boat assisted and initially got a tow on board. But the rope failed and the MOV went adrift. There was no staff on board during the test. The standby vessel followed the boat which was drifting towards Iceland watgers, and further action for the recovery was considered during the morning once weather permitted, Meanwhile the boat was back on board.
Shell fails at Knarr FPSO audit
Norway’s Petroleum Safety Authority (PSA) has unveiled a number of failings, following an audit of Shell's management of the integrity of flexible risers, transfer lines and associated safety equipment on Knarr floating production and storage offloading (FPSO) unit.Knarr is in the North Sea, west of Måløy in Sogn og Fjordane county and some 50km north-east of Snorre, at 410m water depth. The field has been developed using subsea wells and a floating production unit, Petrojarl Knarr FPSO. Oil is loaded from Knarr FPSO into tankers, while the gas is piped to St. Fergus in Scotland. Production on the field began in March 2015. From 3-6 October 2016, the PSA carried out an audit of how Shell is managing the integrity of flexible risers, transfer lines and associated safety equipment, and of Teekay's activities as production operator. The Petrojarl Knarr FPSO received acknowledgement of compliance (AoC) from the PSA in October 2014 The audit revealed non-conformities relating to: overpressure protection of gas export pipeline; follow-up of overpressure protection performance requirements; passive fire protection; and follow-up of flexible pipelines. In addition, improvement points were detected in connection with the labelling of equipment; follow-up and verification; and maintenance management Shell (AS Norske Shell) is the operator of the field, while Teekay owns and operates Petrojarl Knarr. Shell took over operatorship of Knarr from BG Group Norway in February 2016 The companies have been given a deadline of 1 February 2017 to report on how the non-conformities will be dealt with and how the improvement points will be assessed.
