Super Wednesday

Dear All,

Last week, we had a drop object incident on the road where a sub-contractor truck was transporting accumulator unit from a facility after recertification to the Rig location to replace the current accumulator unit on site. On the way near Rima, the shade frame of accumulator unit got unbolted and dropped on the side of the road. The driver stopped the truck and reported the same to his management. No Injury & No asset  damage involved. Kindly ensure to check the following:

• Loads are properly secured & verified prior to commencing the journey
• Ensure compliance to SP2001- Load Safety and Restraining
• Be cautious about road conditions
• Journey management is properly implemented

Kindly share and discuss the attached HSE flash with your crew.

MUSTA¿ED : Are you ready?

We have started coaching PDO & contractor personnel to be ambassadors of Musta¿ed who in turn will coach our field staff on what is expected from our frontline crew on Musta¿ed. We will be holding more engagement sessions across various levels of the organization to create awareness on Musta¿ed.

• What is Musta¿ed?

• A structured approach to ensure 100% readiness before commencing any task through 7 simple steps in order to complete that task safely.

• Reason for change

• More than 70% of incidents having Planning, inadequate equipment / procedure etc as underlying cause
• Musta¿ed helps in proper transitioning to work by following 7 simple steps
• Focus on frontline crew
• Complements our current safety leadership initiative FLS 1 & 2
• Not a new initiative but a structured way of working

Learning From Assurance

This week¿s Learning From Assurance is on Non-Shearables.  The ability to shear is the last line of defense to prevent a blow out scenario and each operation must be able to demonstrate capability to shear drill pipe, work string and tubing (with any associated control lines / cables), as per SP-1213 section 6.9.2.  However there is certain equipment that is run across the BOP for a short period, that is Non-Shearable; for example; BHA, Drill Collars, ESPs etc.  This is also true for CWI operations when pulling a toolstring across a BOP/XT.

It is critical that the Driller/Operator/crew is notified of the shearability of all equipment run through the BOP/XT, along with a specific procedure to manage the risk for Non-Shearables, especially those that cannot be closed in against.  This procedure should consider the exposure time in the level of controls, as well as the contingency plan with the actions to take if the well needs to be shut in.  Particular attention is required for dynamic fill operations.

Each site shall ensure:

1. The list of Shearable and Non-Shearable tubulars is posted in the dog house.
2. Does the unit¿s HSE Case WPS bowtie include when Non-Shearables are across the BOP/XT?  Are the Safety Critical Tasks / barriers understood?
3. A risk assessed specific procedure is available for Non-Shearables across the BOP/XT (to be specific to the Non-Shearable tubulars or toolstring).
4. A TBT is held prior to running Non-Shearables across the BOP/XT with reference to the procedures.
5. The presence of the Toolpusher on the rig floor (or control unit) while Non-Shearables are across the BOP/XT.
6. All personnel involved in the operation are clear on their responsibilities / actions to take if the well starts to flow.
7. Drills are performed (and recorded) for Well Control scenarios where Non-Shearables are across the BOP/XT.
