Strip CNR of the operator licence they hold for the Ninian Southern platform

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

During the recent abandonment of the south this highlighted Cnr's inadequate management skills for operating the platform and therefore we believe they should be stripped of their licence before something worse happens.
They took a chance in the winter on a steel frame jacket fault that caught them out and for a first time in the UKCS a platform was fully abandoned in these circumstances.

An example now needs made by the authorities to show big oil that lives cannot be risked in the hope of chasing more oil.


Please sign, share, get all your family, members,workmates and union members to support this.
