Woodside Energy Ltd notified NOPSEMA of a notifiable incident (NTF11628) at the Vincent offshore facility on 10 July 2022, when a ultraviolet flame detector in the engine room unexpectedly activated, triggering a general alarm and personnel muster. No fire, damage, or environmental release occurred, and the facility returned to normal operations. NOPSEMA escalated the incident to Level 1 investigation on 12 July 2022. The immediate cause investigation identified potential initiators from nearby reflective cladding replacement and radioactive non-destructive testing activities, which were eliminated as contributors. The UV flame detector was replaced to prevent recurrence. Woodside's initial report was received ahead of the 13 July deadline and classified as a dangerous occurrence under occupational health and safety regulations.
