StatoilHydro ASA (STO) said it began a shutdown at its Oseberg South field Friday morning as a result of storms in the area, but expects the worst weather to pass over during the afternoon and may start the field back up in the evening.
Company spokesman Gisle Johansen said the Oseberg South facility is shutting in completely. Figures from the Norwegian Petroleum directorate indicate Oseberg South produced 54,000 barrels of oil a day in 2007, and 0.77 billion cubic meters of gas in total.
StatoilHydro said Jan. 24 it had reduced personnel on a number of platforms in the North Sea as part of established procedures for an interim period to address a shortage of lifeboat capacity. Waves of up to 14 meters are expected during the storm, and the findings of a comprehensive survey of lifeboat safety ascertained in 2007 that certain wave heights would cause G-force related injury to passengers when lifeboats were deployed into the sea.
