The regulator subsequently conducted a verification related to the order before production from Goliat could resume.
Following a request from PSA, Eni conducted on a meeting to present its plans for bringing the field back on stream.
The meeting was also attended by Statoil in its capacity as a Goliat licensee, to explain what measures it has implemented to resume production.
The PSA considered the information provided by Eni and Statoil, together with its own verification and overall assessments, and ruled that the order has been complied with.
