1.3 Introduction to HSE Case

1.3.1 Scope of HSE Case

The focus of the HSE Case is an integrated approach to occupational health, safety, environmental
and security issues. It is an operations and site-specific HSE Case covering the major HSE risks
arising from the drilling of a series of development wells, including rig move, rig up, drill, logging,
cementing, complete, well clean-up/testing and rig down activities.

This HSE Case excludes transportation from WPE to WPG. All of these activities are subject to
separate HSE Plans following a kick-off/HRI meeting between GWDC and PCIHBV.

1.3.2 Definition of HSE Case

The Rig HSE Case is the documented output of the program of formal HSE assessment conducted
by GWDC. The Case thus provides assurance of the effective working of the GWDC HSE-MS at
the rig specific level.

1.3.3 Objectives of HSE Case

1.3.3.1 Primary Objective

The primary objective of the HSE Case is to demonstrate to GWDC and to PCIHBV, to the workers
and to the public that essential controls are in place such that the major HSE risks arising from
activities with Drilling Rig GW 52 is tolerable and reduced to as low as reasonably practicable
(ALARP).

Major HSE risks are defined as those associated with major accident hazards which have the
potential to cause multiple fatalities, or extensive asset damage, or massive environmental effect,
or have a national or international negative impact on the reputation of GWDC.

Workplace hazards arising from hazardous activities, e.g. hot work, pit cleaning, work at heights,
simultaneous operations etc. will be controlled through the Permit to Work (PTW) system.

1.3.3.2 Specific Objectives

More specifically, the objectives of this Drilling HSE Case are to:

1. Demonstrate that suitable HSE management arrangements are in place to ensure that the
specification and conduct of development drilling is fit for purpose and safe for operation.

2. Demonstrate that all foreseeable and credible major accident hazards have been identified
and that suitable and sufficient barriers and controls will be in place such that risks to people,
assets, environment and company reputation are ALARP.

3. Demonstrate that there is adequate provision for the full and safe sheltering, escape,
evacuation and rescue of all personnel from the rig in the event of major accidents.

Part 1 HSE Case Rig GW 52 Page 4 of 13


GWDC Rig HSE Case for Iraq Garraf Project
Part 1 - Management Summary and Introduction

4. Demonstrate that continuous improvement in the management of hazards will lead to a safer
workplace.

These objectives are derived from the HSE Management System strategic objectives.

1.3.3.3 Acceptance Criteria

The criteria used to determine whether the above four Case objectives have been met are as
follows:

1. Agreement amongst GWDC and PCIHBV of the required standards of design and operation and
the commitment of all parties to meeting these standards.

2. The acceptance criteria used to determine whether all foreseeable and credible major accident
hazards have been identified include comparison with industry hazard checklists; and formal
reviews by experienced personnel.

3. Identification of major accident hazards requiring evacuation of the rig and suitable and
sufficient recovery preparedness measures are in place in accordance with the above
acceptance criteria.

4. Agreement amongst GWDC and PCIHBV of the required standards for continuous improvement
in the management of workplace hazards and the commitment of all parties to meeting these
standards.

1.3.4 Structure of HSE Case

Part 1 - Management Summary and Introduction


This part describes the scope, objectives and structure of the Case, including a brief explanation of
the contents of each part of the Case. The Management Summary provides a brief overview of the
major findings during the preparation of the Case, a summary of the areas for improvement and the
conclusions.

Part 2 - HSE-Management System


This provides a description of the system in place for managing the HSE risks associated with Rig
GW 52 operations. The HSE-MS ensures the identification and assessment of hazards throughout
the operation; that all reasonable practicable measures have or will be taken to prevent, control or
mitigate these hazards; that audits will be conducted to provide the assurance that the HSE-MS is
being adhered to; and that all activities, engaged in or contracted to other companies, are
managed in a comparable way.

Part 3 - Rig Specifications and Operations

Part 1 HSE Case Rig GW 52 Page 5 of 13


GWDC Rig HSE Case for Iraq Garraf Project
Part 1 - Management Summary and Introduction

This provides sufficient information to enable a clear understanding of the operations with scope of
HSE case and rig specifications, with an emphasis on aspects relevant to HSE. External
circumstances are also described, such as meteorological conditions. This information promotes
an understanding of how major hazards and effects could affect the rig operations and, equipment
& systems necessary to ensure the health and safety of personnel and protect the environment.

Part 4 - Risk and Hazard Management


This provides a demonstration that all potential significant risks and hazards have been identified,
the risk from the hazards evaluated and understood, and the controls to manage the cause and
consequences are in place. The main barriers and controls mentioned in the Hazard and Effects
Register are described. The Hazards and Effects Register is a communication document and
quality record that presents, in a clear and concise form, the results of the analysis made of each
hazard and effect associated with the operations. It defines limitations on activities during periods
of abnormal operating conditions, e.g. during concurrent high risk activities or unavailability of
safeguard systems.

Part 5 - Emergency Response Plan


This describes the Rig Emergency Response Plan and provides the agreed emergency response
organization and contingency plans to recover from a number of emergency situations. The
general course of action for an emergency situation is also described, stating the responsibilities of
all nominated parties.

Part 6 - Performance Monitoring


This describes arrangements for monitoring the operation to ensure that HSE management
systems are being followed on Rig GW 52.

Part 7 - HSE-Critical Tasks


This part lists those HSE-Critical Tasks identified as essential to provide or maintain the
necessary controls and recovery measures for hazards to meet the objectives of the HSE Case.
The tasks may be design, inspection & maintenance, operational or administrative tasks. This part
also specifies who is responsible for the tasks, the documentation where the task is defined and
how it will be verified that the task has been undertaken properly.

1.3.5 Uses of HSE Case

The HSE Case provides the primary reference and guidance source for a number of activities
essential for the HSE management of the GWDC Rig GW 52 while engaged in the Garraf Project,
as follows:

 Systematic frameworks to enable management to assure them formally that the major accident
hazards arising from the drilling and well services operations are adequately controlled.
 A baseline for the systematic assessment of the risk associated with any future changes to the
operations.
 A basis for assuring a common and consistent approach to the HSE management of operations
by GWDC and its sub-contractors.
 A guide for managers and supervisors in preparing hazard awareness training, handbooks, etc.
for the workforce.
 A guide for all new personnel at all levels involved in the operations, whether with GWDC, sub-
contractors or PCIHBV, to provide rapid familiarization with the HSE-MS, the hazards and the
associated technical and procedural controls used for managing them.
 A framework upon which HSE audits may be developed and programmed.
 A reference for incident investigation, reporting and follow-up.
 The HSE-Critical Tasks listing provides a reference for managers and supervisors of the HSE-
critical tasks to be undertaken, who is responsible for them, the documentation where the task
is defined and how it will be verified that the task has been undertaken properly.
 The Performance Monitoring Section assigns corrective actions to individuals and thus enables
commitment to HSE management to be included in their performance appraisals.

1.3.6 Owner and Custodian of HSE Case

 Management review of the HSE Case document on a periodical basis (e.g. every 12 months).
 Re-issuing updated parts of the document as necessary.
 All signatory pages will require re-endorsement should the signatories change.

1.4 Management Summary

1.4.1 HSE Objectives

GWDC’s HSE strategic objectives for Garraf Project are to:

 Prevent all injuries;


 Prevent occupational related ill health;
 Ensure that all personnel have the necessary competencies for their roles and implement
continuous staff competence training;
 Control impact of logistics on local community daily routine and living;
 Ensure personnel security at the highest practical level;
 Have full management of waste and waste collection;
 Ensure that all accidents / incidents that could have or have caused loss or HSE implications are
reported, investigated and analyzed and appropriate remedial measures taken.
 Minimize land take, maximize biological protection and return land in prime state as soon as
practically possible; in doing so prevent long-term negative impact on the environment.
 Implement the necessary management systems and procedures to ensure that hazards and
risks are identified and that the impact of the drilling and correlative service activities on the
health and safety of personnel and on the environment is reduced to ALARP levels.
 Prevent damage or loss of assets;
 Prevent loss of reputation.

1.4.2 Application of Hazards and Effects Management Process (HEMP) to Operations

In order to achieve these objectives, GWDC’s principal strategy is to identify HSE hazards and
effects and ensure that risks from these hazards are either eliminated or reduced to levels which
are ALARP.

1.4.3 HSE-MS Interfaces

The Safety Bridging Document, required to effectively interface between the HSE-MS of PCIHBV
and the HSE-MS of GWDC, has been jointly developed leading up to the spud date of the first well.
The Safety Bridging Document should allow management of all parties (i.e. also those of third
parties not mentioned in this Rig HSE Safety Case) to agree to the HSE critical responsibilities and
arrangements, allowing the operations to be conducted within the envelope of the respective HSE-
Management Systems.
