During planned shutdown and modification periods the platform may require withdrawal of partial or full services.
TOTAL makes every effort to reduce such periods and to liaise with downstream parties and field operators to co-ordinate timing of the shutdowns.
Standard maintenance periods are up to 14 days during a 2 year rolling period during the summer months, with a period for modifications of up to 20 days subject to 12 months notice.
Maintenance periods qualify for relief against "send or pay" and corresponding TOTAL liability on failure to provide services.
