This release is a single email from a Subsea 7 representative, based in Perth, to NOPSEMA-related recipients (names redacted), with a subject line referring to saddle loss communications between Subsea 7 and Woodside. The email reports that during shear cutting work subsea, a plastic saddle wing floated up and could not be recovered from the surface; a photo was attached. It notes an earlier onshore agreement that the company would report any recurrence and reassess reporting and mitigation based on frequency, with a threshold of two or three saddles per 24-hour period. The release contains no formal regulatory decision, compliance notice or enforcement action. The attached photographs are referenced but their content is not described in the extracted text.
