Woodside Energy Ltd notified NOPSEMA on 10 July 2022 of a dangerous occurrence at the Vincent offshore facility in Western Australia involving a failed quick closing valve in the engine room. During routine six-monthly function testing, a pneumatic ram on the quick closing valve for the #2 Service Tank outlet failed to activate on demand. The operator reported the situation had been made safe with no current facility exposure or environmental release. NOPSEMA escalated the incident to level 1 inspection on 12 July 2022. Woodside submitted its initial report on 12 July, indicating the internal pneumatic ram had failed and the company would conduct its own investigation under its standard health, safety and environment procedures. The incident was classified as damage to safety-critical equipment.
