Halon suppression was an integral part of the systems. In the early 1990s, Arco did a major upgrade of the fire suppression systems on a North Slope project. There was a lot of halon involved since it was the only way available at the time. The Arco project engineer advised me that if they ever had to use the system, they faced a $250K fine which was expected to double within 5 years. The cost of replacement halon was additional. Arco had no options except to consider it a cost of business. No longer involved in the industry so don't know current status which is what prompted my question.
