1.2 Media

requirements. These are:

a) Hard copy (3-ring binder).

b) Electronically, on Drilling & Workover servers.

1.3 Distribution

1.3.1 List

Hard copies of the Workover Manual (and the Drilling Manual) will be
distributed based on need and accessibility to the servers. A copy of
the Workover Manual will be stored in electronic form on the server for
easy access; consequently, hard copy distribution will be minimized.
The hard copy distribution of the Manual will be as follows:

a) Vice President, Drilling & Workover

b) General Manager, Drilling
c) Managers, D&WO
d) Rig Superintendents, WOD and GDD&WD
e) General Supervisors, WOD and GDD&WD
f) Supervisors, WOD and GDD&WD
g) All WO Rigs

Additional copies of the Workover Manual requested by individuals

other than those listed above will be considered on a case-by-case
basis and will be decided by the custodian of the Manual, General
Supervisor of Technical Support Services Division.

1.3.2 Manual Numbering

Each hard copy of the Workover Manual will be numbered to insure

the document is traceable. It will be properly marked, both on the
outside of the binder and on the fist page of the document. A record
will be kept of the Manual numbered and the recipient name.

recipient and their initials obtained to verify receipt of the
manual.

2.0 REVISIONS

2.1 Frequency

The Workover Manual will be updated no later than once every five years.
The duration of the revision should not exceed two months since majority of
the changes will be minor.

2.2 Format

The same format as the original Workover Manual will be followed. All
changes and addendums will be highlighted on a separate page and inserted
in the inside cover of the manual for quick reference. The updated sections
or paragraphs within the Manual will have a line on the side of the page, as
shown to the right of this paragraph. It is also important to change the date of
the updated section in the upper right hand corner of the document.

2.3 Responsibilities

2.3.1 Manual Modification

The General Supervisor of Technical Support Services Division will

assign a person to undertake the task of modifying the Workover
Manual. The assigned person will work with Workover Department
and Gas Development Drilling & Workover Department in updating
the Manual, evaluate the proposed changes/additions and circulate to
General Supervisor of Technical Support Services Division for
approval. Once approved, he will modify the Manual.
