Hibernia is gradually resuming production after last week’s storm, a spokesperson with ExxonMobil said on Thursday.

The spokesperson said the return to production comes after a comprehensive inspection to ensure the safety and security of the platform and following discussions with the CNLOPB.

“While the storm conditions were within design parameters, the Hibernia engineering and offshore personnel carried out a series of robust and thorough inspections of the platform and completed all integrity checks prior to resuming production operations,” wrote a statement on the Hibernia Management and Development Co.’s website.  

The company wrote that close surveillance of the facility will be carried out throughout the startup.
