NOPSEMA internal correspondence from July 2019 regarding the Northern Endeavour NOGA FPSO facility documents regulatory responses to serious safety incidents involving dropped objects caused by corroded pipe supports. Two incidents occurred in late June and early July 2019, with one involving a 5.7 kg object dropped from 5.9 meters with potential fatality consequences. Following a short-notice inspection on 8 July, NOPSEMA's Compliance Committee was considering issuing improvement notices and draft directions to the operator and titleholders, with letters proposing facility shutdown until safety issues were adequately addressed. The regulator assessed risks as not currently meeting ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practicable) standards. Additional compliance concerns included safety case rejection issues, workforce competency complaints, and pending regulatory directions. A Compliance Committee meeting was requested to discuss the new incident information and coordinate next steps with the operator and titleholders.
