Safe working with flanges
OLF started the Gas Leakage Project in 2003 to reduce the number of leaks on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Causal analysis showed that approximately 75% of all hydrocarbon leaks were due to human failure.
Since 2003, the project has contributed significantly to reducing the number of gas leaks on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
