STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY SCHEDULE 10 - COMBINED OPERATIONS - INSPECTION TEMPLATE

Note on Purpose of Template

This document is to be used by inspectors to record the inspection of a combined operations notification submitted under SCR2015 against the requirements
of Schedule 10, which outlines the ‘Particulars to be included in a notification of combined operations’. It has been decided that this will be conducted by the
focal point inspector for the production installation and the non-production installation, and by exception the inspector may refer the notification to a topic
specialist inspector to comment where he/she feels it is necessary to explore the details of the submission further.

The document is drafted to complement the guidance being produced to support the regulations, as well as existing topic sector guidance. Requirements
identified by green text are new to SCR2015, those in black text were present in SCR05.

Relevant Pre-Existing Guidance

 APOSC Principles:
Combined Operations

 Principle 28
The management system should address the additional risks associated with combined operations
 Principle 29
A systematic approach should be taken to assessing the impact of combined operations on the conclusions of the operational safety case for each
installation
 Principle 30
A systematic approach should be taken to identifying and assessing any additional major accident hazards arising from combined operations. These
can be new hazards or changes to existing hazards
 Principle 31
The measures for emergency response should be appropriate to the particular combined operation
 Principle 32
Elements that become safety critical elements (SCEs) as a result of combined operations should be identified and made subject to verification. They
may be parts of the individual installations, or additional plant or equipment provided for the combined operations

 GASCET Chapters:
3 Safety Management Systems

 The SMS should encompass the marine, helicopter and diving activities of the installation, and relevant aspects of combined operations. The
areas of interface between the SMS of these operations, and the SMS of the installation, need to be identified and assessed for clarity, to ensure
potential hazard have been identified due to duplication, commission or omission.

 General Notes for Structural Integrity Assessment

 Assessor should consider the following factors while carrying out the inspection of CON.
a. The risks and associated structural integrity hazards of any combined operation to be inspected could be significantly different from the
others.
b. As far as structural integrity’s concern, the risk profiles in relation to a combined operation generally fall into the following categories:
1) Flotels to fixed installations.
2) Jack ups to fixed installations: (well-head platforms / production platforms / accommodation platforms / NUIs / subsea well heads work
overs / drilling through monopods etc.)
c. Assessor may need to look at the hazards and mitigation proposed by the DH in the bridging document for further information.
d. Assessor may also need to be aware that sometimes the main Safety Case already provides a good outline for the combined operations , and
these have been previously accepted.

Clarification

Objection Raised
SCR2015 Regulatory Requirement

Schedule 10 - Particulars to be included in a notification of combined operations

1.  The name and address of the duty holder submitting the notification.
2. The name and address of each duty holder preparing the notification and a confirmation that every such duty holder has agreed to the
contents of the notification.
3. A description of the combined operation and a programme of work, which must include the dates on which the combined operation is
expected to commence and finish.
4. Particulars of any plant to be used in connection with the combined operation but which is not described in the current safety case for any of
the installations involved in the combined operation.
5.  A summary of the joint review referred to in paragraph 23(b) of Schedule 6 or paragraph 19(b) of Schedule 7, which must include
(a) a description of any activities during the combined operation which may involve hazards with the potential to cause a major
accident on or in connection with an installation; and
(b) a description of any risk control measures introduced as a result of that review.
6. A description, by reference to a bridging document authorised by all parties to the document, of how the management systems for the
installations involved in the combined operation will be co-ordinated so as to reduce the risks from a major accident to comply with the relevant
statutory provisions.
Inspection Guidance / Minimum Information Doc Ref Inspector’s Inspection Comments
1&2. Is the name and address of each duty holder
preparing the notification stated and a confirmation that
every such duty holder has agreed to the contents of the
notification? Who are the duty holders?
3. Is there a description of the combined operation and a
programme of work, which must include the dates on which
the combined operation is expected to commence and
finish?
4. Have the structural implications of any of the plant to be
used in connection with the combined operation been
adequately considered? e.g. gangway.

Points may be considered in the inspection of the CON are:

 The plant application method - conventional or
novel
 Structural assessment - strength, fatigue and/or
accidental assessment if necessary
 Structural inspection – maintenance, corrosion
management

5 (a) & (b) Is there a summary of a joint review that

identified the hazards and assessed the risks of the
combined operation? Hazards identified may include
the following and may consider some of the follow
mitigation measures.
Structural Response to Fire & Blast
Hazards
 Hydrocarbon release
 Any other increased F&B risk
Possible mitigation measures
 F&B hazards identification
F&B assessment / mitigation

Foundation integrity
Hazards
 Proximity to previous footprints
 Proximity to fixed installation piles
 Scour
 Punch through
Possible mitigation measures
 Site specific assessment
 Site preparatory works

Safe Operation
Hazards
 Limits on structural items
Possible mitigation measures
 Considerations in bridging document

the management systems for the installations involved in
the combined operation will be co-ordinated so as to reduce
the risks from a major accident to comply with the relevant
statutory provisions?
