From January 1st 2019, suppliers to the Norwegian Continental Shelf will need to use the EPIM Joint Qualification System (JQS) used by Operators, as Achilles JQS will no longer be used.

From October 1st 2018, EPIM JQS will provide a new service for purchasers and suppliers who trade products and services on the NCS. 

Achilles will continue to provide a service in Norway, however companies should be aware that EPIM JQS will be the system used by NCS operators. Operators are currently alerting suppliers to the switch over to the new system by alerting suppliers already listed in their databases, notifications on websites etc.

Operators switching to EPIM JQS include:

Aker BP ASA, AS Norske Shell, Capricorn Norge AS, ConocoPhillips Skandinavia AS, DEA Norge AS, Edison Norge AS, Eni Norge AS, Equinor Energy ASA, Faroe Petroleum Norge AS, Gassco AS, INEOS E&P Norge AS, Lundin Norway AS, Maersk Oil Norway AS, MOL Norge AS, Neptune Energy Norge AS, OKEA AS, OMV (Norge) AS, Petrolia NOCO AS, PGNiG Upstream Int.
