Marathon Petroleum has been forced to shut in production from its Alvheim field off Norway for the second time this month due to problems with the FPSO’s fire-fighting water system.
The floating production, storage and offloading vessel again halted output on 15 May, following an earlier shutdown on 5 May at the North Sea field.
A spokesman fof the US operator said that the floater was unable to generate enough water supply to some areas to meet the requirements of the fire water system.
“We have inspected the system and flushed the pipes. The plan is to test the fire water system later today and, if successful , we will start up production,” he said.
Noin kolmannes(12,000 boeta) Lundin Petroleumin tuotannosta tulee Alvheimista, joten kenttä on yhtiölle varsin tärkeä.
