Abstract
The framework conditions for offshore petroleum oil and gas production in Norway for the coming years are outlined, followed by a brief discussion of future normally unmanned production concepts. Legislation for unmanned installations is reviewed, followed by a discussion of the safety systems that should be installed on future normally unmanned installations. A case study is presented for a fictitious NUI facility, and risk results are presented for three different cases with varying extent of safety systems installed. The case study results are discussed with respect to the risk levels for personnel for these three cases. Finally, some challenges from the risk management point of view for normally unmanned installations are discussed.
