Table C.2 — Examples of hazard identification and risk assessment considerations during drilling,<br />

well-completion and well-servicing activities<br />

Activity: Drilling and<br />

well completions<br />

Description: This activity includes all tasks involved in the planning, design, procurement, construction, installation<br />

and commissioning of offshore wells used for the exploitation of oil and gas resources.<br />

Screening criteria<br />

Examples of aspects to be considered<br />

and activities undertaken<br />

Well design and well control<br />

Mud system<br />

Marine environment (installation integrity and effects<br />

of operations)<br />

Hazardous materials (chemicals, explosives,<br />

radioactive, toxics from the reservoir, etc.)<br />

Well testing<br />

Helicopter crash<br />

HAZIDs to identify suitability of codes and standards<br />

experience to safely manage drilling activities<br />

Where appropriate, apply structured review<br />

techniques such as HAZOP<br />

Use of HRA and JHA to address operational safety<br />

Environmental risk assessment<br />

Occupational health assessments to include both<br />

standard and non-routine operations<br />

Discharge limitations<br />

Class requirements/Regulation requirements for<br />

installation<br />

Noise thresholds<br />

Corporate risk criteria<br />

Comments<br />

The identification of hazards needs to be undertaken by both<br />

the concession holder and the rig owner/drilling contractor in<br />

close cooperation. Experience of similar operations, together<br />

with local knowledge from wells in the same geographical<br />

area, should be used to identify hazards. Particular attention<br />

should be given to identifying hazards arising when normal<br />

techniques are extended outside their previous range of<br />

conditions (e.g. high-pressure/high-temperature wells, very<br />

deep water, extreme environmental conditions, high H 2S<br />

content, etc.). Additional hazards may arise in less standard<br />

operations such as tender-assisted platform drilling and rig<br />

skid-over operations with a jack-up or cantilever drilling.<br />

The validity of current techniques used to assess normal<br />

operations should be reviewed in the light of particular<br />

circumstances. Drilling and/or completion HAZOP analysis<br />

allow the possible hazards arising from non-routine tasks to<br />

be assessed and measures identified to reduce risk.<br />

HRA and JHA are useful for evaluating operational safety<br />

matters and nearly always identify measures that might be<br />

taken to reduce risk.<br />

Environmental risk assessments are aimed at predicting the<br />

possible effect of both intentional (drill cuttings, waste water,<br />

etc.) and unintentional discharges such as blowouts. Many<br />

materials used in connection with well operations are<br />

particularly hazardous and require particular care in handling<br />

(hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids for well stimulation,<br />

barium brines for drilling fluids, cement dust, completion fluids,<br />

etc.).<br />

National and international regulations provide most of the<br />

screening criteria, together with corporate criteria of both the<br />

concession holder and the rig owner/drilling contractor. Local<br />

conditions may give rise to particular criteria such as<br />

discharge limitations and barrier design.<br />
