OSLO, Dec 8 (Reuters) - Italian oil firm Eni has received permission to restart oil rig flanges gulf coast production at its Goliat oilfield in the Arctic Barents Sea following a shutdown lasting more than two months, Norway's Petroleum Safety Authority (PSA) said on Friday.

The PSA ordered the BOP Blow Out Preventer repair company gulf coast to shut the 100,000 barrels-per-day field on Oct. 6 due to problems with the Goliat platform's explosion-proof electric motors.

Eni, the operator, has 65 percent, and Norway's Statoil holds the remaining 35 percent stake in the world's northernmost offshore oilfield, which started oil rig flanges gulf coast production in 2016.
