Super Wednesday

Dear All,

Last week we had 2 incidents related to personnel being impacted due to being in the Line of Fire . In the first incident the team was working on the Hydraulic HCR to identify a leak that occurred previously during P/T. Suddenly, hydraulic fitting disconnected causing hydraulic oil flush onto one of the working crew. The other incident happened at a hoist Workshop when the driller was attempting to install the jaw lock pin of the power tong dies using the hammer with bench vice as a gripper. While doing so , a small fragment from the hammer propelled towards the IP who was sitting 1.2 m away striking his left eye. As a result, the worker sustained an eye injury on his left eye.

Please utilize Musta¿ed   steps to drive the  discussion with your site crews and identify missing  controls for carrying out the job safely. Moreover,  you are advised to consider the below points when you are working in Line of Fire:

• Identify the equipment with potential of stored energy due to pressurized equipment in your area.
• What is the potential ¿Line of Fire ¿ hazards for these equipment¿s?
• What are the controls you must mitigate the above risk while working with them?
• Who is responsible to ensure these controls are available & effective

Hands & Fingers Campaign

Let us continue with the focus on Hands and Finger injury prevention via the campaign we kicked off . By utilizing the attached pack , we request you to continue engagement sessions with the site crews with the aim of arresting the HSE trend and ensuring safe operations. E-CCC Effective learning ¿Hands & Fingers Injuries Prevention Campaign¿ is now updated and 30^th of Sep is put as a deadline for all site engagements verification.

UWA Learning From Assurance

Dear All,

This week¿s Learning from Assurance reflects on a recent audit discussion around well control procedures that are part of the minimum requirements for each Contractor as documented in SP-1213 (section 12.14). An action from the 2022 WPS Level 2 audit has highlighted a gap in the available Contractor well control procedures and suggested enhancing this list to ensure it includes all relevant procedures for managing the full scope of Contractor activities in each Cluster and are verified for compliance.

The attached PWR provides a high-level summary of one of the procedures and describes some of the shut-in procedure considerations, including what to do with non-shearables.

The main topics captured includes:

1.       Procedures

• Provide Clear procedures on setting expectations and define the roles and responsibilities. Roll out same to the crews.

2.    Tripping

• Shut-in procedures to includes the different activities and rig-ups with drills performed for each.

3.    Drilling

• Shut-in whilst drilling can be simulated to test the Driller response in a controlled environment.

4.    Casing

• Consider running alternative tubulars and assemblies, ensure the crews are prepared on how to shut-in quickly.

5.    Non-shearables

• There are many examples of non-shearables and need to have a plan in place on how to quickly secure the well and space out with shearable tubulars across the BOPs.

6.       Contingencies

• If this cannot be achieved quickly and the well control event escalates, then need to agree on when to shear, drop string or evacuate.
