1.1 Purpose and Document Structure

The purpose of this BSP generic SIMOPS procedure, also known as the „ SIMOPS Process Manual‟ , is todefine BSP requirements to be applied in order to safely manage multiple activities being performedsimultaneously at a location, particularly when one of those activities is the production of Hydrocarbons.This is referred to as “simultaneous operations”, or “SIMOPS”. 

The purpose of undertaking activities as SIMOPS is to reduce production deferment, while maintainingrisks at a level that is ALARP.

Sections 1 to 3 of this document describe the management process and management requirements forSIMOPS on BSP facilities. They include a description of the steps involved in SIMOPS programs, keyroles & responsibilities of parties involved in SIMOPS and mandatory requirements for initiation & planningof SIMOPS programs.

Sections 4 and 5 of this document address requirements for site/platform preparation for SIMOPS andexecution of SIMOPS programs.

Section 6 covers Management Review activities, as required to ensure continuous improvement.  

1.2 ScopeThe scope of this SIMOPS Process Manual includes:

  Well Engineering & Well Services Activities on live BSP production facilities, onshore and offshore,including:

o  Drilling and other Drilling Rig supported activities i.e. „CPRA‟ 

o  Well Intervention Unit (WIU) and Hoist activities

o  Coiled Tubing Unit (CTU) activities

Simultaneous Operations (SIMOPS) Restricted

1.2.1 Well Engineering & Well Services Activities

Typical Well Engineering & Well Services activities within the scope of this manual include:

i.  Well Engineering Activities (on a live production facility):

  Drilling rig and WIU Barge movements and rig-up/rig-down1 

  Workover of existing wells

  Drilling and Completion of new wells (including component activities such as milling,cementing, fishing, coring etc.).

The following activities may also be carried out as part of the above, either as on-line secondactivities or as off-line third activities

2:

o  Perforating

o  Stimulation (Acidising)

o  Fracturing

o  Well kick-off (including use of N2)

o  Logging

o  Securing (well killing)

o  CTU and Wireline/Slickline operations while the Rig or WIU is present

o  Conductor driving

o  Grouting.

ii.  Well Services activities (on a live production facility):

  Well Intervention Unit (WIU)  or Hoist-Assisted Well Service Operations  involving wellworkover and completion where there is a need to carry out pulling and installation of tubing forthe production string

  Coiled Tubing Unit (CTU) or Wireline Unit Well Service Operations , not requiring a drilling

equipment and systems that could be the subject of commissioning activities (on a live production facility)that fall within the scope of this manual include:

  Mechanical equipment, and associated vessels and systems  Electrical installations and instrument systems

  Safety and fire fighting systems.

1.2.4 Maintenance Activities

Maintenance work is categorised as either:

a. Topsides Maintenance (onshore and/or offshore)

b. Underwater Maintenance (including Diving Activities - offshore).

1.2.4.1 Topsides Maintenance (on a live production facility)

Typical Topsides Maintenance activities within the scope of this manual include:

  Work barge/boat movements

  Lifting and materials handling

  Demolition work

  Rigging and scaffolding  Welding, grinding, gas cutting

  Hydrotest and functional testing of facilities

  Grit/hydro blasting and spray painting

Simultaneous Operations (SIMOPS) Restricted

1.2.6 Diving Activities

Diving Activities (more correctly termed “Underwater Activities”) are required for Underwater Maintenance

(see above) and for some construction activities (e.g. installation of riser clamps for new pipelines) and tosupport some well engineering activities (e.g. use of an ROV to monitor JU spud can positions relative topipelines). When these activities are conducted at live production facilities or simultaneously with othercampaign activities (at the same offshore facility), they constitute SIMOPS and thus fall within the scope ofthis document. However, diving activities require highly specialist controls, most of which are not defined inthis generic SIMOPS document – reference must therefore be made to the relevant elements of BSP HSEmanagement system documentation and the relevant BSP service unit (AEO/4) for full details ofmanagement controls for Diving SIMOPS.

1.3 SIMOPS Process Overview

Every SIMOPS program consists of three distinct phases  – the initiation, planning and execution phases  – each with single point accountability and distinct hand off points. Overall accountability for each SIMOPSprogram is with the Asset Manager for the facility where the SIMOPS will take place.

The following three tables illustrate the process flow for typical generic SIMOPS Programs. Reference may

also be made to the Generic SIMOPS Task list in Appendix 1.

Well Activity Owner(XPE/3x) 

Well Activity Owner (WAO) or Project Leader (PL) prepares an initial riskassessment and justification for completing the work as a SIMOPS program.On receipt of endorsement from the Asset Maintenance Support Engineer orHead Petroleum Engineer (XPE  –  in the case of well engineering and wellservices), the proposal is tabled at the Medium Term Integrated ActivityPlanning (IAP) Forum for consideration and inclusion in the “RAP”. Once theprogram has been included in the RAP, it is submitted to the Asset Managerf f l l

This section builds on the RASCI defined in Section  1.3 above, by further defining major responsibilitiesassociated with SIMOPS management. Also, to aid in completing tasks, the key players can refer to the

Generic SIMOPS Task Checklist in Appendix 1. 

Each SIMOPS program shall have a dedicated resource to coordinate the program including its requiredHEMP studies. This is an HSE-Critical role and as such, the candidate shall have been assured ascompetent as appropriate for the scope of the program, before taking on the role.

2.1 SIMOPS Process Forum Responsibilities

The overall responsibilities for SIMOPS are divided between the “SIMOPS process forum” and the AssetUnits. The “SIMOPS process forum” is responsible for the “SIMOPS process”. The responsibilities arelisted in Table 5 below.

  Planning and Execution phases:

o  Detailing the work packs

o  Providing competent Supervisors for all activities

o  Executing the work in accordance with the CSHC or PHP.

The AO conducts AAR‟s. With the AO‟s involvement in this task, the feedback loop is complete, as the AOhas an oversight role across the phases of the program and learning can be incorporated into impendingSIMOPS programs. It is left to the discretion of the AO, to complete the AAR on an individual basis, or tocluster and complete them in groups.

2.3 Asset Unit ResponsibilitiesThe Asset Units have responsibilities in all three phases of a SIMOPS program, including those listed inTable 6 below.

  SIMOPS planning & preparation milestones are monitored and the Asset Manager is alerted ifany milestone dates are missed, so the AM can make a decision regarding continuing with theplan for SIMOPS. 

2.3.4 Person-In-Charge (PIC)

The Person-In-Charge (PIC) at the SIMOPS site i.e. the OIM, CSR or DSV, has responsibilities in thePlanning and Execution phases, as follows:

  In the planning phase, the PIC provides support to the SC as necessary for obtaining approval

of the SIMOPS plan

  In the execution phase the PIC will have single point accountability for safe execution ofactivities, well-being of personnel, assets and the environment in accordance with the CSHC /PHP. This requires on-site coordination of activities, setting priorities and making on-siteevaluations of the consequences of concurrent activities upon each other (taking due accountof the prevailing MOPO).

2.4 Rolling Activity Planning (RAP) Forum

The RAP Forum provides an integrated review of the SIMOPS proposal, with the Forum‟s key responsibilitybeing implementation of the IAP planning process including assessment of Plan Entry Criteria (PEC) forinclusion in the 2 years look-ahead plan.

2.5 SIMOPS Process Manual Custodian

 Annual SIMOPS Reviews shall be carried out by the SIMOPS Process Manual Custodian i.e. HSE/61 toensure that:

3.2.1 Hazard Identification and ALARP Risk Assessment

 A HAZID and ALARP Risk Assessment exercise shall be carried out for each SIMOPS program, inaccordance with BSP-02 Guideline-022 “HAZID” (Ref  11) and BSP-02 Guideline-005 “Guide to Application

of BSP HSE Risk Tolerability and Control Acceptance Criteria”  (Ref  6). The purpose of this exercise is to

identify all the significant HSE hazards and accident threats associated with a SIMOPS program including,in particular, Major Accident Hazards and Threats (MAH, MAT), and to identify appropriate risk-reducingmeasures to achieve compliance with BSP ALARP criteria. Furthermore, the study must generate inputs todecisions regarding shutdown and depressurisation of facilities for rig/workboat/barge moves and (heavy)lifting activities, continued use of host facility electrical equipment that is not rated for use in hazardousareas („HAC Zones‟), hot work, local venting and flaring, 3

rd activities, and emergency response including

DEM2 PSBR3 (TR) compliance if any 5B or Red risks are identified in the HAZID.

 A conceptual work plan and site layout shall be provided for the HAZID & ALARP exercise. Otherinformation may include host facility integrity data (HC Red Anomalies, Orange TAs and SRIs), status of

Risks must be assessed against the Shell Group Risk Assessment Matrix (RAM), an image of which isprovided in Figure 2 below. Where release of a given hazard has multiple possible outcomes, eachoutcome must be assessed for risk and the worst case (highest) risk taken as the overall risk for that

hazard. Historical experience of accident occurrences serves as a starting point   (only) for estimating thelikelihood of each potential outcome: specific circumstances must be taken into account in order to arrive atthe final assessment of likelihood.

assessed. However, QRA is considered to be most useful for comparison of options, e.g. when theselection of risk reduction measures cannot be established using qualitative assessment methods.

If a QRA is not   carried out for an individual SIMOPS program, the results of the QRA in the relevantOperations or NUI HSE case, or past SIMOPS programs, should be used for guidance.

3.2.2 Achieving and Demonstrating ALARP Assurance that all HSE risks associated with carrying out SIMOPS are being, or will be (via theimplementation of Remedial Actions Plans), reduced to a level that is ALARP, is required before theSIMOPS can proceed. 

Formal demonstration of ALARP, within the CSHC or PHP, is mandatory for Major Accident Hazards(MAH) i.e. credible accident hazards that potentially fall into the Red Risk area and/or severity level 5 areaof the Group RAM.  Risk reduction measures are mandatory for Red Risks in order to reduce them toYellow or Blue. 

Yellow Risks need to be reduced to ALARP by identification and implementation of practicable cost-effective risk reduction measures. However, formal demonstration of this for Yellow Risk hazards withconsequence Severity of 4 or lower is not required. The process of identifying and implementing„practicable cost-effective risk reduction measures‟  shall consider shutting down and depressurisingfacilities as one option  –  with deferment costs to be balanced against expenditure on risk mitigationmeasures in order to avoid the deferment (see Figure 1).

Hazards within the Dark Blue Risk area need to be managed for continuous improvement in accordancewith the HSE-MS and Company Policies.

Do we need to d o a QRA for this SIMOPS Camp aign?

If qualitative risk assessment against the Group RAM is not adequate to demonstrate compliance with BSP risk tolerabilitycriteria e.g. due to lack of resolution or uncertainty about final residual risk level, and/or if additional inputs are needed todecisions regarding risk mitigation measures, then the answer is Yes. However, before embarking on new or additionalQRA modelling, consideration should be given as to whether results from previous QRAs could be called upon to providethe answers for this SIMOPS campaign.

thus enabling improved incident learning and prevention.

In accordance with  EP Business HSE Control Framework EP2005-0300 HEMP  and EP2005-0310 HSE

Case, BTA is mandatory for all Major Accident Hazards (MAH) i.e. those hazards with potential for RAMSeverity level 5 accident effects and/or Red Risk on the Group RAM.

Bow Ties have been developed for all BSP facilities MAH; these must be reviewed (by „Gap Analysis‟) and,if necessary, extended to account for additional threats or changes to controls during SIMOPS. Also, if theSIMOPS introduces new MAH, then additional Bow Ties will be needed for those MAH  –  these must bedeveloped as part of the SIMOPS initiation and planning.

The SIEP supported Bow-Tie software package THESIS is the preferred tool for developing andimplementing Bow-Ties. Alternatively they can be developed in spreadsheets or a database, and manually

depicted.Reference should be made to the BSP AU and SU Operations HSE Cases, for the latest BSP facilitiesMAH Bow Ties.

3.2.3 Major Accident Hazard Assessment Sheets (MAHAS)

The CSHC or PHP should include Major Accident Hazard Assessment Sheets (MAHAS) that provide fulldetails of each of the MAH identified for the subject SIMOPS program. The MAHAS detail the nature of thehazard, the threats and consequences from the associated potential Major Accident Events (MAE), a

description of the accident barriers and risk controls put in place, including effectiveness review, and ademonstration of ALARP management of the risk.

3.2.4 Requirements from Design Engineering Manual-2 (DEM-2)

Compliance with DEM-2 Process Safety Basic Requirements (PSBR), Ref. 16,  is mandatory for allSIMOPS activities and must be addressed in the Initiation and Planning phases of each Program. Thismandatory requirement shall also be cascaded down to all contractors involved in the SIMOPS program -requiring them to have compliant facilities and equipment and BSP-accepted HSE Cases demonstratingcompliance with DEM-2 PSBR.

  An escape route  from the portable building (a door) should always be provided in the wall facingaway from the well(s) and flowlines

  Personnel should vacate the portable building during erection of and work-over derricks and masts,and rig down activities, and move clear of the fall radius of the derrick/mast. This standinginstruction should be documented in the rig-up / rig-down operations procedures.

3.2.4.2 PSBR #3 - Temporary Refuge (TR)

The provision of adequate Temporary Refuge (TR) during SIMOPS is mandatory for Workboats, DrillingRigs and Offshore Platforms. Refer detail requirements in DEP 37.17.10.11-Gen Design of OffshoreTemporary Refuges (Ref. 1) and DEM-2 PSBR # 3 Gap Closure Action Plan Reports (Ref. 16).

The main function of the TR shall be to provide a place where the total POB can muster without undue riskand have access to the communications, monitoring and control equipment necessary to ensure theirpersonal safety, and from where, if necessary, safe and complete evacuation can be effected.

The functions of the escape and evacuation routes and the embarkation areas shall be to provide, withoutundue risk to POB:

  Secure means of escape to the TR, and

  Secure means for a complete evacuation from the TR.

In order to demonstrate that the risk of impairment of TR is tolerable & ALARP, it may be3

 necessary tocarry-out the following HEMP studies, as part of the development of the CSHC or PHP, in order to captureand address TR integrity issues including whether blast overpressure or other immediate effects couldimpair escape routes, Muster area, Command Support, structural collapse onto the TR, TEMPSC, etc.:

3.2.6 Hazardous Area Classification

“Hazardous Area Classification (HAC)“ BSP-12 Guideline-303  (Ref. 18)  shall be used as the basis for

defining HAC zones created by all facilities (production facilities, drilling rigs, fuel tanks etc.) and activitiesinvolved in the SIMOPS. HAC drawings (showing all SIMOPS facilities and equipment in position) shall beincluded in the CSHC or PHP and shall be subject to approval by the BSP HACC prior to SIMOPS beingallowed. This approval process shall include due consideration of equipment ratings / suitability withrespect to the HAC zones.

3.2.6.1 Equipment in Hazardous Areas

 All equipment used at the SIMOPS site/platform must be suitably rated for the HAC Zone in which it is, orwill be, located, as evidenced by the equipment certification.  

The appropriate reference documents for hazardous area zoning and certified equipment are as follows: 

  DEP 80.00.10.10-Gen (Ref. 19), Area Classification (Amendments/Supplements to IP15)

  IP Code Part 15 (Ref. 20), Area Classification Code for Installations Handling Flammable Fluids

  DEP 33.64.10.10-Gen (Ref. 26), Electrical Engineering Design Guidelines

  BSP-72-P-010-14  (Ref. 27), Maintenance of Certified Electrical and Electronic Instrumentation inHazardous Areas.

3.2.6.2 Hot work in Hazardous Areas

Hot work during SIMOPS is subject to approval by the PIC and to the precautions specified in the Permit-to-Work system BSP-02-Procedure-1668 Safe System of Work (SSOW)  (Ref. 28), applied to Hazardous

 Area Classifications as follows (refer terminology):

  Hot Work activities are not allowed in Zone 0 Areas

  Hot Work activities are restricted in Zone 1 Areas

3.2.9 Project HSE Plans (PHP) and Campaign-Specific HSE Cases (CSHC)

Every SIMOPS program must be supported by a Project HSE Plan (PHP) or   a Campaign-Specific HSE

Case (CSHC). Sign-off of the PHP or CSHC is the primary mechanism for evidencing Senior Managementapproval of the SIMOPS program and authorisation to proceed.

 A PHP is slightly less extensive than a CSHC, and therefore provides a slightly lower level of assurance ofMAH control. The decision regarding whether a given SIMOPS program requires a PHP or a CSHC, istherefore dependent upon the level of risk involved and the scope of relevant existing Facilities andOperations HSE Cases. The following is a general guide:

  Campaign-Specific HSE Cases (CSHC) are required for:

o  SIMOPS by Drilling Rigs (i.e. „CPRA‟) 

o  SIMOPS by a Well Intervention Unit (WIU)

  Project HSE Plans (PHP) are required for:

o  SIMOPS by Well Servicing Units (e.g. stand-alone wireline unit)

o  Engineering and Maintenance SIMOPS ( „CPEMA‟)  

o  Painting and Blasting SIMOPS („CPPA‟) 

o  Diving SIMOPS.

The final decision regarding whether a CSHC or PHP is required for any given SIMOPS program, shall bethe responsibility the BSP Technical Safety Authority, and shall take due account of:

  The hazards and risks involved in the SIMOPS program

  Whether the SIMOPS will significantly increase the chance of release of flammable / explosivesubstances

  Whether the SIMOPS activities are within the scope of existing AU and/or SU Operations HSE

3.2.10 Bridging Document

“Bridging Document” or “Interface Document” refers to a written document which defines how two or more

HSE Management Systems are to be implemented together, to allow co-operation and co-ordination onmatters of HSSE protection between different parties (i.e. between BSP and the Contractor). Such adocument references the detailed procedures that will be used and defines the responsibilities,accountabilities and work activities of the various parties.

In the event of any HSE management system other than BSP‟s being used, in part or in full,  for anyelements of a SIMOPS program at a BSP asset, then an approved Bridging Document (between BSP‟sHSE-MS and the relevant contractor HSE-MS) shall be developed and included as a reference documentin the SIMOPS PHP/CSHC.

3.2.11 Statement Of Fitness

The requirements from BSP-71-Standard-002 Statement of Fitness  (Ref. 9), which describes theOperational Excellence Standard, Blade 24  –  Field Operations, including the Statement of Fitnessrequirements to confirm the facility is safe to operate, shall be implemented as appropriate.

The resulting statement of fitness shall be included in the CSHC / PHP.

3.2.12 Special Considerations for Manned Facilities

Special consideration needs to be given when planning SIMOPS at normally-manned facilities including themanned offshore production complexes. Although this document is written to be applicable to all SIMOPSprograms, the extra complications associated with conducting SIMOPS at a manned facility increase thechance of rules being misinterpreted or wrongly applied. With only a small number of SIMOPS programscarried out at manned facilities, and allowing for the differences between locations, it is not practical ordesirable to list rules to cover all possible combinations of activities and facilities.

 As an alternative, a special meeting shall be held to identify and address special issues whenever aSIMOPS program is planned for a normally-manned facility. The meeting should be attended by thefollowing people:-

Simultaneous Operations (SIMOPS) Restricted

Topic Issue

Permit to work A system that will allow operations and the relevant Service provider e.g. TSW, to be

continually aware of all active permits is required.

 Alarms The meaning and effect of alarms on both the host facility and the attendant drilling facility/ workboat / service vessel must be understood by Operations and  by the relevant Serviceprovider e.g. TSW.

3.2.13 Classification of SIMOPS Activities

SIMOPS, by definition, involves multiple simultaneous activities. To assist with safe control of SIMOPS, allactivities in a given SIMOPS program shall be classified as „First‟, „Second‟ or „Third‟ Activities, in -line with

the following definitions and guidance.

3.2.13.1 First (1st

) Activities 

During SIMOPS at a Hydrocarbon production facility, Hydrocarbon production is the first (1st) activity, by

definition. Activities that are a normal part of the duties of the relevant BSP Operations department, andwhich were considered in the SIMOPS HAZID and included in the overall risks as assessed for theSIMOPS, may be included in the defined scope of the first activity. Such activities comprise normal routineproduction support activities that do not introduce any significant additional hazards. For example,

Operators coming onboard to read gauges and adjust flow control valves is considered to be part of normalproduction activities. However, activities that introduce significant additional hazards, such as disjointingand hot work, require special controls and shall therefore not be included within the defined scope of„normal production‟ activities. 

3.2.13.2 Second (2nd

) Activities 

The second (2nd

) activity during SIMOPS is the main activity that is being conducted simultaneously withHydrocarbon production i.e. either   (Well) Engineering or   Maintenance or   Well Services or   Painting or  Diving (on the platform). Activities that are a normal part of the work scope and duties of the Service Unit

Simultaneous Operations (SIMOPS) Restricted

Production and the main SIMOPS Activity. „Significant‟ in this context means that the activity has somepotential impact on risks e.g. because it introduces additional accident threats or additional hazards orscope for increased accident consequences. Examples of typical 3

rd  Activities during Well Engineering

SIMOPS (CPRA) include:

  Well Tie-ins by AEO (significant because of the increase in the number of personnel on the DP – typically up to 16 additional personnel, who may be at risk from any Major Accident Event duringSIMOPS)

  Preventative Maintenance (PM) activities (significant because they may interfere with SCE and/orincrease in the number of personnel at risk from any Major Accident Event during SIMOPS)

  Wireline activities (including „routine‟ wireline activities such as SCSSSV replacement, plug/unplug

well, GLV change-out, open/close SSD, drift run etc. - significant because they may introduceadditional accident threats and increase in the number of personnel at risk from any Major AccidentEvent during SIMOPS).

3.2.13.4 Approving 3rd

 Activities

 All 3rd

  Activities must be defined in advance of commencing the SIMOPS program, and included in thescope of the PHP / CSHC and approved by the relevant Asset Unit and Service Unit (e.g. TSW).

Is Well Testing a ‘Third Activity’ during SIMOPS?  

If the well test involves introduction of additional flammable inventory and/or potential leak sources e.g. due to bringing atest separator on-line, then yes -  it must be categorised and treated as a 3

rd  Activity. However, if the process facilities are

fitted with a MPFM on a line that is in continuous use, then well testing may not introduce any new hazards or threats orincrease any potential accident consequences – in which case it need not be categorised as a 3

rd  Activity.

Is Perforating a ‘Third Activity’ during SIMOPS?  

Usually, the answer is No, since perforating is a normal online activity within Well Engineering and is included in thedrilling program; it need not be categorised or treated as a 3

rd  Activity. However, if perforating work is to be carried out

offline while producing and drilling then it should be treated as a 3rd  Activity.

Wire line plugs Identify wells that need to be plugged prior to commencing SIMOPS. Install

plugs as required. 

Gas lift non-return valves Check integrity of valves. Replace with new valve required 

4.1.5.1 Sub-Surface Safety Valves

Pre-SIMOPS leak tests shall be carried out for all SCSSSV in wells on the SIMOPS platform not more thanone month before the start of the SIMOPS program. The test will be based on the following requirements:

  The leak test should not start until 5 minutes after the well has been closed-in, to allow liquid todrain below the SCSSSV

  The leak test should last for 15 minutes. Longer tests may give a false indication of the conditionof the SCSSSV

  The maximum allowable leak rate equates to a pressure build-up of 345 kPa within the 15-minuteperiod. Higher leak rates shall be investigated by Well Services.

SCSSSVs that fail the test shall be repaired before the SIMOPS commences. If this cannot be done, the

well shall be plugged and shut in for the duration of the SIMOPS program.

4.1.5.2 Gas Lift Non-Return Valves

On platforms where gas lift is installed, the non-return valves at the gas lift casing connection on producingwells shall be checked to verify they are working. The check can consist of either a leak check or removingthe valve from service and visually inspecting it. All faulty valves shall be replaced with new valves notmore than one month before the SIMOPS program commences.

that the existing system may not provide adequate coverage for SIMOPS, additional gas detection shall beprovided as follows:

  For drilling and other well intervention activities that involve entering a live reservoir without awellhead in place, comprehensive temporary fixed flammable gas detection shall be provided onthe wellhead deck, and tied into the facility alarm and ESD systems

  For all SIMOPS types, portable flammable gas detectors must be used to monitor all live orpotentially-live ignition sources that are not covered by temporary or permanent fixed gasdetection, and open areas of the Drilling Rig/Workboat/Barge that are within the flammable gascloud range of potential major gas leaks

  Portable Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) gas detectors shall be used in SIMOPS programs at locations

where this gas is known or suspected to be present.

4.2.2 Fire Detection

Existing fire detection systems will remain in use during SIMOPS programs. When SIMOPS is carried outat platforms where HEMP work indicates that the existing fire detection system may not provide adequatecoverage for SIMOPS, additional fire detection shall be provided and tied into the facility alarm and ESDsystems.

For certain activities such as radiography and welding/cutting, it may be necessary to isolate or override

some fire/flame detectors to avoid unnecessary alarm or shutdown. In such cases, the PTW shall considerthis, and number of detectors isolated or overridden must be kept to the minimum, a manual fire watchmust be in place, and all detectors must be reinstated as soon as the activities are completed.

4.2.3 Alarms

 Audio-visual alarms to alert personnel of F&G detection and other emergencies must be provided on allfacilities involved in the SIMOPS.

The CSHC / PHP will describe the alarm system in place for each program.

4.3.1 “Live” Area Identification 

 Any lines and systems on or passing through the installation that do not shut down during when ESD isactivated, must be positively identified and isolated from systems that are de-activated. Markings of all livelines and systems require extraordinary efforts to ensure that they are identified correctly. Therecommended practice is for vulnerable items (such as easily damaged instrument fittings) to be markedand to operate as if all adjacent pipe work is live in the area of such vulnerable items.

4.4 Conversion of Instrument & Power Gas Systems to Compressed Air

There has been a high frequency of Loss of Containment (LOC) incidents (i.e. leaks) from small borepipework used as the primary containment for Instrument Gas (IG) Systems, mainly on NUIs. SIMOPSactivities can constitute additional LOC, ignition and/or fire & explosion escalation threats. By switching

over from hydrocarbon gas to compressed air, the risks of, and from, IG LOC and fugitive leaks, duringSIMOPS can be eliminated.

In view of the above, Instrument Gas and Power Gas systems shall be temporarily converted to Instrument Air (IA) for SIMOPS unless it can be demonstrated that not doing so presents ALARP risks (e.g. when theduration of SIMOPS is very short and no specific threats to the IG system are identified and changing overto IA would incur disproportionate cost). In addition to this, the Asset Owner needs to provide a detailMethod of Statements to demonstrate ALARP and incorporated in SIMOPS Project HSE Plan. The specificControls shall be included in PTW and effectively being implemented on site.

 All instrument gas systems (e.g. COM unit, Autocon Unit, PCV actuators, etc.) and other hydrocarbon gaspowered systems, e.g. jib crane, sump pump, etc., shall be purged with nitrogen and only operated usingN2 or compressed air during SIMOPS. The hydrocarbon instrument gas supply shall be disconnected andpositively isolated.

The vent and drain facilities for instrument air supply system must not be connected with any vent anddrain facilities used for hydrocarbon gas.

 An example of when it may not be reasonably practicable to convert IG to IA is stand-alone wirelineSIMOPS - because wireline activities involve relatively little equipment that could ignite a leak and POB,

Simultaneous Operations (SIMOPS) Restricted

4.4.2 Nitrogen (N2) Purge

 A nitrogen purge, pressurisation facility shall be available on the Work Site to ensure that all hydrocarbongases are displaced from the pneumatic system prior to switching over to air. It should also act as apressure buffer in the event a fluctuation in normal air supply and facilitate conversion to/from instrumentair without the need for facility shutdown (including for unplanned events such as barge pull-away in badweather): the required volume of N2  shall be determined taking these objectives into consideration.Furthermore, independent tie-ins for IA and N2 should be provided to avoid need to shut down the platformduring conversion.

The external air supply system tie-in must be disconnected and nitrogen purged, prior to switching theinstrument system back to hydrocarbon gas operation at the end of the Project.

4.5 Impact ProtectionImpact protection shall be provided for all equipment and piping at serious risk of being damaged bydropped or swung loads during a SIMOPS program. Impact protection can consist of a combination ofimpact-resistant decking, additional plates and procedures that ensure that dropped objects cannot fallthrough. As a general rule, platform top decks that are not „impact-resistant‟ shall be covered withLightweight Impact Protection Plates (LIPPs) for well engineering SIMOPS, and all unprotectedhydrocarbon containment systems at risk from heavy dropped or toppled or swung objects shall be shutdown).

Note that impact protection plates may not  be effective against dropped „Heavy Lifts‟, which by definitionare capable of causing global deformation of support structures - with associated risk of loss ofcontainment from hydrocarbon piping, risers etc. that rely on those structures for physical support, even ifthese hydrocarbon systems are not directly in the fall zone . The traditional definition of a „Heavy Lift‟ asany lift over 5 tons weight, is only a rough guide, since the effect of a dropped object is dependent upon itsweight, shape, height of the drop and strength of the structure upon which it falls. Therefore BSP‟sTechnical Authorities for Structural Engineering, Lifting, Operations and Technical Safety, shall beconsulted regarding what protection is appropriate for each lift or category of lift.

5.1 Single Point Accountability

The CSHC / PHP shall clearly define the SIMOPS management organisation, including a single pointaccountable party for the execution phase of the SIMOPS program. Normally, the OIM on site, or the DSVin the case of CPRA, will be the single point accountable party (even if the SIMOPS is at a mannedcomplex). For SIMOPS at remote locations, it may be necessary to appoint a designated OIM for theSIMOPS program.

5.2 Communication

5.2.1 Pre-SIMOPS Meeting

Prior to start of each SIMOPS program, a kick-off meeting shall be held to communicate details of theCSHC / PHP to all parties involved in the program. The Drilling Supervisor or the SIMOPS CSR/OIM willact as chairman of the meeting. It will also be attended by the Production Lead, the Operationsrepresentative and the senior contractor representative. The BSP Service Unit representative will keep arecord of the minutes of the meeting. The CSHC / PHP contents will be used as the basis for the meetingagenda.

5.2.2 Daily SIMOPS MeetingFor SIMOPS programs, a daily communication meeting will be held between all parties involved. Thefollowing people shall attend the meeting:

  OIM and/or designated Operations Representative

  DSV or CSR as appropriate / applicable (depending on the type of SIMOPS)

5.3 Arrival of the Drilling Rig/Workboat/Barge and SIMOPS Equipment

BSP Marine Services (SMR) are responsible for overseeing the safe arrival and positioning of the drillingRig or workboat or Barge at the SIMOPS host Platform. Marine Procedure Module 10 BSP-14.05-Pocedure.110 and Marine Procedure Module 06 BSP-14.05-Procedure.106 (Ref. 23 and 24) and the BSPSMR Marine MOPO apply to these operations. Notwithstanding SMR‟s responsibilities, the vessel Masterremains in command and responsible throughout for the safety of all personnel onboard and for the safemanoeuvring of his vessel.

The SIMOPS host Platform shall be shut down and depressurised prior to Rig/workboat entry into its 500mexclusion zone, unless  the HAZID & ALARP Risk Assessment studies for the SIMOPS campaign havedemonstrated to the satisfaction of all parties, including BSP Technical Safety TA and the Contractor‟sWarranty Surveyor (if applicable), that the risks associated with moving in to the live  platform will be

tolerable and ALARP. The ALARP Assessment shall take due account of the risks of collision both withrisers and with the platform / jacket structure and potential effects thereof.

SMR and the facility OIM or Production Lead shall discuss and agree any potential risk of potential damageto sub-sea pipelines associated with the placement and retrieval of anchors and jack-up legs/spud cans onarrival and departure of the Rig/work boat/barge. This will normally be done as part of the SIMOPS HAZID,or else as a follow-on action from the HAZID. Pipelines identified as being at risk must be depressurisedunless adequate mitigation measures can be put in place to ensure the risk is tolerable and ALARP.

  Use of updated Anchor Planning Charts.

5.4 Custody of Facilities

 All BSP facilities must be under the control, or custody, of a BSP department at all times. Equally, nofacility can be under the custody of more than one BSP department at any time.

5.4.1 Custodian Responsibilities

The department that has custody of a facility is responsible for all activities, equipment and people at thefacility. This includes the following:

  Activities relating to the operation of the equipment

  Activities relating to the maintenance of the equipment

  Controlling the work performed by other departments.

5.4.2 Hand-Over of Facilities

Custody of the facilities where SIMOPS is to take place shall normally be handed over from the AUOperations department to the main SIMOPS Service Unit e.g. TSW, for the duration of the SIMOPS. AnOperations Representative shall be present to support the Service Unit with advice and productionoperations interfacing while they have custody of the facilities. However, the extent of hand-over will bedependent upon the type of SIMOPS and the nature of the facility where it is to take place, e.g. for SIMOPSby a Drilling Rig or Well Intervention Unit, the entire DP or WJ shall be handed over to TSW, whereas forWell Servicing without a Drilling Rig or Well Intervention Unit present, only the well being serviced shall behanded over. For CPEMA, CPPA and Diving SIMOPS, platform/facility custody shall remain with the AssetUnit.

For large facilities e.g. multi-platform offshore complexes, extensive onshore production or processingareas, a single platform or part of the onshore facility where SIMOPS is to take place may be handed over,rather than the entire facility. As a general rule, the SIMOPS Service provider should have control over

p ( )

For partial facility hand-over, the platform or area being handed over for SIMOPS shall be separated fromthe other platforms / facility areas, with either a temporary fence, striped safety tape or sign boards.

The main SIMOPS Service Unit, e.g. TSW, will be responsible for the operation of all equipment within the

hand-over area. The AU Operations department (XOP) will remain responsible for all equipment outsidethe area.

The hand-over of the facility and the start-up of production will be carried out in two stages:-

1. The first step involves the transfer of the facility. This will occur either at the pre-SIMOPS meeting

or immediately after the drilling Rig / WIU / Work Boat arrives at the location

2. The second step involves the acceptance of SIMOPS safety equipment after it has been

commissioned. This approach has been adopted to minimise delays to the SIMOPS program.

The drilling or well intervention program can commence without the second stage of hand-over beingcompleted, provided that the facility remains shut down.

By separating the hand-over into two stages, the SIMOPS Service Unit, as the custodian of a facility, cancommence preparation work immediately upon arrival, therefore reducing delays.

5.4.3 Facility Hand-Over and Hand-Back Check Lists

Standard hand-over and hand-back check lists, as provided in Appendix 9 & Appendix 10 are to be used

whenever custody of a BSP facility is transferred as described above.

The SU DSV or CSR (as appropriate to the SIMOPS program) together with the AU GSS/FOS shall beresponsible for completing the check lists. Both the DSV/CSR and the GSS/FOS must initial theappropriate box adjacent to each question on the check lists and sign and date the hand-over box at theend of the check list, to signify their agreement.

Work can only commence on SIMOPS programs once the Hand-Over check list has been completed andsigned by the DSV/CSR  –  indicating that he is satisfied that the Asset integrity has been verified andSIMOPS-related equipment has been successfully commissioned.

5.6 Other (Heavy) Lifts and Equipment Moves

 All lifts during SIMOPS shall be strictly controlled and planned in accordance with BSP Lifting and HoistingPolicy and Standard (Ref. 25). Hydrocarbon facilities and equipment at risk from dropped or swung loadsshall either be protected against impacts  – in accordance with Section 4.5 of this document, or shutdownand depressurised, unless  the risks of not doing so can be demonstrated to be tolerable and ALARP. Inaddition to the default rules provided in sections 5.3 and 5.5 above for heavy vessel movements and rig-

up/rig-down, the following requirements shall be adhered to during SIMOPS.

Potential fall damage areas for dropped objects should be identified and captured in the facility layoutdrawings. When conducting the assessment to identify these areas, the following must be taken intoaccount:

  All required lifting operations with potential to cause significant structural damage and/orhydrocarbon LOC if the load is dropped – this depends on the weight, shape and height of the liftedobject, but as a general rule, all tubulars and all other lifted items above 2 tons can be assumed tofall into this category

  The lift path

  All structures and equipment directly underneath and immediately adjacent to the lift path, includinghydrocarbon containment systems below decks and sub-sea

  The location of temporary equipment required for SIMOPS, which may be vulnerable to impactse.g. Oxy Acetylene bottles

  Tall structures that present a collision hazard for the crane boom or load

  The capabilities and limits of the crane or hoist that is being used for the lift

  The possibility of loads "swinging" due to adverse weather or operator error

  Any structural anomalies that may have a bearing on the safety of the lift or the consequences of adropped load.

5.7 Station Start-Up

If the SIMOPS host facility has been shut down for any reason, e.g. for rig-up at the beginning of aSIMOPS program, then start-up will be performed by Operations. If Operations are not the custodian of theplatform/facility at that time, then a Permit To Work approved by the installation custodian (ref. Section 5.4) shall be required for start-up. The following requirements must be satisfied for commencement / re-commencement of production during SIMOPS:

Introduction of hydrocarbons (initial start up) is to be carried out during the hours of daylight only

  All work activities shall be covered by PTW including those considered routine under normaloperations

  PTW applications shall be submitted in advance to allow sufficient time for assessment

  A PIP Control Board shall be in place to monitor and control all work activities.

If SIMOPS is being carried out on part of a facility only e.g. one platform in a manned complex, and custodyof the single platform or site area where SIMOPS is being carried out is transferred to the Service Unit,then the Service Unit will be responsible for issuing permits only for the platform or site area for which theyhave custody. Operations will continue to issue the permits for the remainder of the facility/complex.However, to avoid potential conflicts between Operations and Service Unit activities, all permits must becountersigned by the adjacent area/platform custodian i.e. the DSV or CSR (as applicable) countersigns allpermits for work carried out on platforms adjacent to the SIMOPS platform, and similarly, the SOScountersigns all permits for work on the SIMOPS platform. The SOS and DSV/CSR must also keep eachother informed of any non-permit work under their control, which could affect the safety of others.

It must be noted that all activities, which are not a part of normal production or drilling operations aredefined as “third activities”. In addition to normal PTW requirements, these activities cannot be carried outduring the SIMOPS program unless they meet the requirements included in Section 3.2.13.4 of thisdocument.

5.8.1 PTW Restrictions

Issuance of permits for activities that have an inherent risk of causing, or igniting, a hydrocarbon leakduring SIMOPS, are subject to additional restrictions – as described in Sections 5.12.2 and 5.13.3 below.

2. Pressurised process lines being isolated using two block valves with a bleed line between them(i.e. double block and bleed). 

5.10.1 Positive IsolationPositive isolation means total isolation from a potentially hazardous source (e.g. hydrocarbons, power orradiation). Only properly installed spades and blinds can be considered as a means of positive isolationfrom hazardous hydrocarbon materials.

The use of the spectacle blinds is recommended, especially for line size 6-inch and above, andrecommendations should be incorporated into the spading plan of the design package wherever positiveisolation is required for SIMOPS work activities.

Where spading and blinding is not possible, double block and bleed valves arrangement is acceptable.

The valves shall be tagged to indicate the reason for closure. They shall be padlocked after closure and/ orhave their hand wheels removed.

5.10.2 Isolation and Spading Implementation

Individual equipment isolation plans shall be appended in the Master Isolation Plan. The OIM (ordesignated equivalent person) shall have overall responsibility for the installation and removal of positiveisolation. All parties including OIM, WS, CSR, Contractor Construction Superintendent and projectengineer should review the marked up spading drawings provided in the work pack and agree on any

changes.Positive isolation shall be indicated by a RED isolation tag, whereas a  YELLOW tag shall be used forconstruction spades or blinds.

The isolations shall be verified as per the "Master Isolation Plan" by following through, line-by-line andcross-referring to the positive isolation checklist. Any last minute changes in position or requirement ofspades shall be left to OIM's decision and authorization. Upon completion of the positive isolation check,the OIM, CSR and Complex Supervisor shall sign the appropriate columns in the positive isolationchecklist.

o  No pigging operations carried out

o  A Fire Watcher in attendance at the worksite whenever hot work is being carried out, andfor an agreed period after the work is finished

  All key personnel should be supplied with radio communication

  Category 1 hot work shall be contained within a „habitat‟ –  either of the pressurised type (see

5.12.2 below) or, if the hotwork is outside of all HAC zones, a standard (fit for purpose) fireretardant 5+1 sides habitat (refer to  Appendix 11), deployed to contain hot work slag/sparks(ignition sources), and the bottom floor of the habitat is wetted

  Activities located in the vicinity of the sump area also require close monitoring by the Area Authority or similarly competent operational staff

5. There shall be clear communication of the scope of work and planning/scheduling/executionmanagement between offshore and onshore operations/execution personnel

6. The facility shall have been inspected adequately and deemed safe to proceed with the required

blast cleaning and painting work. All inspected and identified PARs (in particular INTERNAL corrosion), SARs and defects of concerns shall thus be clearly recorded and communicated to allparties involved

7. All other concurrent works (e.g. welding and cutting) within or near-by the same facility where theblast cleaning and painting work will be executed, must be clearly identified along with interfacesand controls

8. Daily regular and real-time work planning and progress reporting meetings shall be held on-sitebetween the Operations and Executing parties, including the weekly-look-ahead plan/schedule.

5.13.1 High Pressure Water Jetting

HSE Module Standard 25  (High Pressure Water Jetting) shall be used as a starting reference guide toidentify all related hazards, assess their risks and put appropriate precautionary measures (and mitigations)into place to effectively manage the intended work at any specific facility. If there are 5B hazardsassociated with the SIMOPS, the Emergency Escape arrangements must comply to DEM2 PSBR3.

Cleaning by high pressure water jetting, may be required prior to blast cleaning and painting activities, andin some cases before some welding activities. They are normally used to remove drilling muds, grease, oil

contaminants and loose rusts from the work surfaces.

Prior to any platform cleaning operation, all unaffected areas are to be physically protected and masked toavoid injury to personnel and damage to sensitive equipment e.g. electrical and instrumentation equipment.

High pressure water jetting may be used with the inclusion of suitable detergents. Any detergents usedshall be those approved by the company as “Safe to Use” and bio-degradable.

This is to ensurethe individual subsea pipeline remains under effective cathodic protection against externalcorrosion

5. All safeguarding and sensitive equipment e.g. pressure and temperature gauges (not includingportable fire extinguishers) shall be properly masked and protected against any damages from theblast cleaning and painting activities

6. The actual number of blast cleaning nozzles/personnel per specific facility shall be individuallyassessed and shall largely depend on the complexity of the working areas and safe monitoringconsiderations. This item shall be clearly recorded within the specific PTW assessed and issuedfor that facility

7. Piping Contact Point and Pipe Support structural areas  –  surface preparation and cleaning ofrusted areas within these specific locations shall only be executed when proper inspections hasbeen done and concluded that it is safe to proceed

8. All rotating equipment and critical components shall be adequately protected and masked toprevent any detrimental ingress of airborne blast cleaning debris

9. Where the blast cleaning has exposed any areas of integrity concerns on the facility, the work shallstop immediately and the Operations Area Authority shall be immediately informed of the exposedconcerns

10. Where dry blast cleaning is carried out in the vicinity of accommodation units, air quality checkswithin the units shall be conducted upon commencement of and periodically during the blast-cleaning program. If air quality falls below acceptable levels (HSE) the accommodation units shallbe de-manned or blast cleaning shall cease

11. Static electricity is identified as a potential ignition source. To minimise the build-up of staticelectricity several precautionary measures are to be strictly implemented:

  For Gas Compression areas, dry abrasive blast cleaning shall not be allowed due to the concernswith sparks generation, ignition sources and detrimental ingestion of airborne blast debris into theturbines‟ intake. Therefore:

- Only wet abrasive blast cleaning or high pressure water jet cleaning shall be allowed

- Small scale/spot hand tool surface preparation may be considered if it can be demonstrated to besafe to execute

  Piping Contact Point and Pipe Support  structural areas  –  surface preparation and cleaning ofrusted areas within these specific locations shall only be executed when proper inspections hasbeen done and concluded that it is safe to proceed

  Structural Staircase, Stair Tread and Drip Pans  – adequate integrity pre-inspections shall be

verified to be safe on such corroded items before allowing any blast cleaning or painting work toproceed on-site

  Hand/power tool surface preparation by hammer chipping shall not be allowed

  During spray painting application, it must be noted that flammable chemical solvents within the

liquid paint are liberated. Thus adequate ventilation, identification and elimination of all ignitionsources (including static electricity) are paramount for safe work.

The following additional restrictions shall be applied for work in hazardous areas (HAC Zones):

  In Zone 0, no surface preparation or cleaning or painting shall be allowed. All work shall only bedone during Shutdown Mode

  In Zone 1, dry abrasive blast cleaning shall not be allowed

- Wet abrasive blast cleaning or high pressure water jet cleaning or hand tool surface preparationmay be considered if it can be demonstrated to be safe to execute

  In Zone 1, any surface preparation/cleaning and painting to be considered and assessed shall belimited to only small spot areas within that specific facility. The painting shall be by brush

of the events. If the emergency has the potential to affect the drilling platform, all wells and equipmentmust be shut-in by activating an emergency shutdown of the platform.

5.16.1.3 Partial Facility hand-over

In the case of partial Facility hand-over for SIMOPS e.g. when just the DP of a manned offshore complexhas been handed-over from the AU to the Service Unit, for SIMOPS, then, the AU Operations OIM shallcontinue to act as OSC for emergencies on parts of the facility not handed over. The Operations OIM willbe responsible for securing all facilities and areas except for those handed over e.g. the DP, which is underTSW control. The Operations OIM shall inform the Service Provider‟s Senior Representative of theemergency as well as contacting the appropriate emergency services.

5.16.1.4 OSC Responsibility

No matter who is assigned the role, the OSC shall have primary responsibility for directing and ensuringsafe effective response to any emergency, including contacting and interfacing with the appropriateemergency services and other key personnel involved in the SIMOPS and/or with responsibility for thelocation / facilities. In particular, the OSC will establish contact with the Duty Emergency Coordinator (EC)and, if the Emergency Coordination Team (ECT) is mobilised, maintain contact through the designatedOperations Advisor in the ECT. Once mobilised, the ECT takes over the coordination of the onshoresupport. Refer to  BSP-02-Procedure-0359 Emergency Coordination Procedure  and BSP-02-Procedure-0384 Well Engineering Emergency Procedure  and BSP-02-Procedure Integrated Emergency ResponseManagement System (Ref. 13, 14, 15) for details of responsibilities and actions in an emergency.

2.1 The risk of a dangerous (to the rig)release of HC from process trips via ventstack is inherent in the QRA documentPLL (potential loss of life) calculation.Specific modelling of gas clouds has onlybeen explicitly studied for instrument gasreleases however. In the opinion of theTSW DSV is the vent stack positioned

sufficiently far from the DES to accept therisk of a HC release during the CPRAactivities?

2.2 Have HC deposits in all processequipment drip pans been cleaned?

2.3 Is there any evidence of leakingvalves, pump packing, flanges or otherequipment? If so have these items beenidentified by WOP for repair prior to rigmove?

3. PLATFORM STRUCTURALINTEGRITY

3.0 Have AED inspected the platformand confirmed that it is capable ofwithstanding the load associated with thedrilling operations?

3.1 Do any well heads require collarclamps to be fitted?

Subject:

SIMOPS preparation – Confirmation of Structural Integrity.

Platform/Facility: 

In preparation for the planned SIMOPS program at the above platform/facilities, the structure of theplatform/facilities has been assessed based on the activities included in the program.

Provided the loads encountered during the program do not exceed the loads specified, the platformstructure is suitable for this SIMOPS program.

The strength of the decks has also been assessed in relation to potential impact from dropped objects.The following modifications and additional protection are recommended to provide adequate protection.

Specific for Drilling Activities/WIU:

Drilling/well intervention activity is scheduled for ………… using the ……… rig. 

The ……….. DES imposes approximately ………tonnes operational load  directly on the platform. Thedrilling platform has been analysed for its capacity and reliability to cater for this additional weight. Theanalysis shows that no strengthening is required for the platform with limited operational loading on themain deck.
