Sleipner A information


Sleipner A is a combined accommodations, production and processing offshore platform at the Sleipner East gas field in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea. It is a Condeep-type oil platform, built in Norway by the company Norwegian Contractors for Equinor.

It is known for its catastrophic failure on 23 August 1991, due to a design flaw, that resulted from an error caused by unconservative concrete codes[1] and inaccurate finite element analysis modelling of the tricell, which formed part of the ballasting/flotation system.[2]
