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 />
