Management Procedure November 2019

PREFACE

This document provides a guideline for holistic Safety Critical Elements (SCE)
Management for PETRONAS operated upstream production facilities in compliance with
PTS 18.53.02 Mechanical Integrity.

The aim for this procedure is to provide assurance that the SCE are correctly managed
and risk of Major Accident Hazard (MAH) are demonstrated to ALARP levels and enhance
the technical integrity of all Upstream assets. Upstream SCE Management Procedure is
intended to assist individual installation management teams in identifying the applicable
SCE for a specific asset. It provides clear examples of SCE for consideration in the
identification and listing of SCE in order to meet the requirements of the HSE Case.
It defines the expectation of Site Specific Performance Standards development for the
identified SCEs. Therefore, it would be possible to demonstrate how the performance of
individual elements is directly linked to the Major Accident Hazards present on a
particular asset. As a result, it helps to facilitate asset and operating unit in establishing
appropriate assurance task for SCE that will lead to systematic maintenance plan and
contribute to PMMS smooth operation.

In order to strengthen the SCE Management process, this procedure stipulates the
requirement of SCE Verification. It provides clear understanding of the process and how
to implement it in the most cost effective and efficient way, while maintaining the same
quality as it is implemented anywhere in the world.

Optimistic SCE Management Deviation Process controls any deviation related to SCE in
order to ensure effective quality assurance and integrity of SCE.

This Procedure supersedes PETRONAS Safety Critical Element Manual EP OE MAN SCE
Rev 1.0 05 May 2014.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Objective

(1) To facilitate and standardize Petronas Upstream Business for holistic SCE
Management inclusive of SCE identification in accordance to best industry
practise for Major Accident Hazard Management.
(2) To provide assurance that the necessary hardware barriers are correctly
managed and risk of Major Accident Hazard (MAH) to ALARP levels.
(3) To define the requirement and expectation of SCE Site Specific Performance
Standards and SCE Verification Process as well as providing a common
consistent process for all PETRONAS Upstream Business Operating Unit.
(4) To provide a safer operating environment for people, maximising the
understanding of the risks inherently involved in the extraction of
hydrocarbons, and minimising the exposure of personnel to these risks.
(5) To ensure transparency and visibility of the management of SCE
performance assurance.

1.2 Scope

(1) The SCE management process has six main stages:


i. Identification of MAH and identification of SCE, involved in managing
MAH;
ii. Definition of Performance Standards for these SCE;
iii. Development and implementation of the assurance processes that
maintain or ensure the continued suitability of the SCE, and that
these are meeting the Performance Standards;
iv. Management of SCE Deviation and;
v. Verification that all steps have been undertaken to ensure the
adequacy of assurance task & SCE meet its intent and thus that Major
Accident Hazards are being controlled.

Upstream Safety Critical Elements (SCE) WW ALL X X S 05 049 I,
Management Procedure November 2019
2.0 OVERVIEW

2.1 Major Accident Hazard

(1) A Major Accident Hazard (MAH) is typically a hazard that can lead to a low
probability, high consequence event which requires a different approach to
the occupational, or personal, safety management processes and
programmes which are associated with higher frequency but lower
consequence events.
(2) The basic reason for this is that while single failures can cause dangerous
occurrences, Major Accidents do not generally happen as a result of a failure
of one piece of equipment or one wrong action by an individual. Instead,
they are epitomised by a series of failures of plant, personnel functions &
processes as well as procedures.
(3) The WW ALL X X S 05 038 I, November 2018 HSE Case and CIMAH (Control
of Industrial Major Accident Hazards) (CIMAH) Development Guideline is the
principal document that is used to identify the MAH and consequently
identify and confirm the barriers that are in place that prevent or mitigate
the consequences of the MAH.

2.2 MAH Identification and Existing HSE Case and CIMAH

(1) Part of the initial process of the HSE Case is to establish Hazard Effect
Register (HER) as per requirement stated in PTS 18.04.02 Hazard & Effect
Management Process (HEMP)
(2) Facilities may comprise platforms, pipelines and subsea systems. The
boundaries will be in accordance with the boundaries defined in the HSE
Case. PETRONAS Technical Standards are referred to:
a. PTS 18.04.03: Demonstration of Safe Design, Installation and
Operations of facilities
b. PTS 18.00.01: HSE Management System
c. PTS 18.04.02: Hazard & Effect Management Process (HEMP)

Internal

PETRONAS UPSTREAM Page 12


Upstream Safety Critical Elements (SCE) WW ALL X X S 05 049 I,
Management Procedure November 2019
(3) The HSE Case and CIMAH Development Procedure explicitly requires the
identification of MAH as a separate population from the assessment of all
risks. This requirement for explicit identification of the MAH as a separate
sub-set of the asset risks is a characteristic of the MAH and SCE Management
System, as it deals specifically with the management of these low frequency,
high consequence hazards.
(4) MAH (and the subsequent SCE) should be identified in a dedicated subsection
of Part 2 of the HSE Case for an installation (refer Figure 1). For onshore
facilities in Malaysia, the document is the CIMAH Report, which requires a
dedicated subsection for this purpose.

(1) The HSE Case and CIMAH Development Procedure and Safety Critical

Upstream Risk Management.
(2) HSE Case and CIMAH Development Procedure comprises of Major Accident
Hazard (MAH) identification and management in details, one of MAH
management is SCE Management which will be systematically describe in
this procedure.

2.4 Bow Tie

(1) The Bow-Tie Analysis or method is simply a pictorial representation of how


the management of a hazard and its effects go towards minimizing the
consequence(s) arising from a hazardous event. Using the Bow-Tie
methodology to identify barriers essentially enables one to identify specific
roles and functions of each barrier and to understand the possible
consequence of the failure of a barrier.
(2) The Bow-Tie technique is incredibly versatile and broadly accepted as
industry best practice for the identification of SCEs. The detailed step-by-step
application of the method for performing a Bow-Tie Analysis is identical to
the methodology used when all risks are identified and evaluated.
(3) This is described in detail in PETRONAS PTS 18.04.02 “Hazards and Effects
Management Process (HEMP)” and systematically described in WW ALL X X S
05 053 I, Rev.1 Upstream HSE Development of Bowties Guidelines.

2.5 Overview Of the MAH and SCE Management Process

Critical Element Management process requirements, and the order in which
they should be undertaken. The flowchart in Figure 3 shows the stages

4.0 MANAGEMENT OF BARRIER
(1) Barriers are intended individually or collectively to reduce possibility of MAH
to occur and to control and limit the consequence of MAH. Barrier includes
soft and physical hardware barriers.
(2) Physical hardware barrier is a physical equipment that is put in place to
prevent; control and limit MAH, known as SCE.
(3) Soft barriers include critical processes, human and organizational control
planning, and implementation guideline which includes, and not limited, to
the following PTS procedure:
i. PTS 18.22.02 Design Integrity;
ii. PTS 18.53.02 Mechanical Integrity;
iii. PTS 18.23.02 Operating Procedure;
iv. PTS 18.21.03 Pre Start Up Safety Review;
v. PTS 18.21.01 Process Hazard Analysis;
vi. PTS 18.23.03 Process Safety Information;
vii. PTS 18.23.02 Management of Change;
viii. PTS 18.23.05 Bypass Safety Critical Protective Device;
ix. PTS 18.21.02 Proprietary and License Technology Assessment

(4) Soft barrier and physical hardware barriers are interdependent and shall be
managed adequately to ensure these barriers remain effective over the life
of the facilities.
(5) The importance of barrier management and relation between soft and hard
barrier are describe in Figure 4.

5.0 SAFETY CRITICAL ELEMENTS

(1) The key safety plant, systems and equipment required to manage Major
Accident Hazards are collectively known as Safety Critical Elements (SCEs).
The definition given in the United Kingdom Safety Case Regulations (UKSCR)
of a Safety Critical Element is:
“Such parts of an installation and such of its plant (including computer
programs), or any part there:
i. the failure of which could cause or contribute substantially to; or
ii. a purpose of which is to prevent, or limit the effect of - a major accident”
(2) It is to be considered as SCE when;

i. If by failing an item would cause a major accident;

ii. If by failing an item would significantly add to a major accident;

iii. If the purpose of an item is to prevent a major accident; and

iv. Finally, if the purpose of an item is to limit the effect of a major accident.

(3) As stated in Chapter 2, MAH are established from a Hazard Effect Register
(HER) as part of PTS 18.04.02 Hazard & Effect Management Process (HEMP)
and HSE Case development.
(4) MAH (MAH definition is based on risk matrix stipulates in PTS 18.04.02 HEMP)
control measure will be identified qualitatively via Bowtie concept &
quantitatively define via Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) review.
(5) SCEs are identified from analysing those Hazards under MAH category, and
constitute the means required to manage the associated risks. Level 4
Business Process Workflow (BPW) for HEMP is attached in Appendix B.

Figure 5: SCE identification as part of HSE Case Development

(6) The concept of SCEs is barriers that are put in between the hazard and the
consequence of the incident. This is explained with illustration of the SCEs
as plant barriers as shown in Figure 6. The holes in the barriers reflect a
path or route through which the hazard is realised. This is often referred to
as the “Swiss cheese model”. Refer sample bowtie with SCE indication in
Appendix C.
(7) Major Accident investigations indicate that such events do not occur because
of a single failure of plant or one individual’s mistake. It has been consistently
demonstrated that for a Major Accident to arise a combination of process,
plant integrity and personnel failures needs to happen.
(8) This arrangement of processes, plant and people are often referred to as the
barriers between a threat being present and an accident occurring. Any one
of the barriers can prevent the accident and multiple failures are required
before a major accident can happen.

Internal

PETRONAS UPSTREAM Page 22


Upstream Safety Critical Elements (SCE) WW ALL X X S 05 049 I,
Management Procedure November 2019
(9) An example of plant barriers is shown in Figure 6. The holes in the barriers
indicate a potential path or route from which the presence of a hazard can
lead to an event occurring. This pictorial representation is also commonly
used in various other Industries than the offshore oil and gas (e.g. Health
and Aviation) to illustrate how a combination of failures can lead to an
accident event occurring.
(10) In Figure 6, each barrier type is represented by one or more Safety Critical

Elements and is designed to stop or minimise the effects of a hazard. In a


loss of containment of hydrocarbon for example, the barrier types are
describe in Table 4 below:

If the first barrier fails, then the hydrocarbon is

hazard can escalate, and initiate controlling

their defined roles in maintaining and assuring the performance of Safety
Critical Elements for a specific asset.

(13) A definitive list of barrier groups and a generic list of SCEs are provided in
Figure 6 of the report.
(14) These are generic listings and should be used when undertaking a review of
a particular asset’s hazards. The following caveats apply however:
i. The listing is intended to cover all possible SCEs;
ii. Not all of the SCEs listed in Figure 6 may be applicable for a particular
asset. Individual asset’s SCEs need to be determined on a case by case
basis; and
iii. No other grouping of SCE shall be considered.
(15) The information provided in Figure 6, whilst considered a practical and
comprehensive source of information, it is not a substitute for a full asset-
specific Safety Critical Element identification and analysis exercise, which
must still be carried out on an asset-by-asset basis.

5.1 Safety Critical Element Evolution through the Life- cycle of the Asset

(1) The identification and subsequently management of SCE should actually start
with the design and build stage of the facility. A new facility at handover to
Operations & Maintenance should already have the What, Where, How, and
When defined and pre-loaded into the PETRONAS Maintenance Management
System (PMMS).
(2) In operation phase, apart from Management of Change, SCE identification
should be revalidate during HSE Case development or renewal at every 5
years. Figure 7 depicts clear expectation on SCE management throughout the
asset lifecycle.

(3) In summary:

a. MAHs will be identified starting at the concept stage and continuously


updated throughout the FEED and detailed design stage
b. SCEs will be identified from the FEED stage onwards and after the end
of the construction and commissioning all relevant SCEs must have a
performance standard, the maintenance task list, maintenance
routine/assurance, verification and data loading into PMMS such that
the corresponding work order are timely generated
c. At the Operational stage of an asset, SCE identification will be
revalidated during HSE Case development and assurance task
assigned for each SCE shall be managed and conducted in timely
manner.
d. Deviation related to SCE assurance task will be managed in Facility
Status Management (FSM) with comprehensive review assessment to
include acceptance criteria, control and mitigation through Risk
Assessment with TA approval.
e. For existing facility where the above activities were not done,
retroactive actions to achieve same for the Operations phase is
necessary.
f. MAH can vary in severity and probability throughout the lifecycle of
the asset. This means that the SCEs might change accordingly.
g. To this end, the MAH and Safety Critical Elements (SCE) Management

Process requires a full review under the following conditions:
i. When a Management of Change process is initiated (e.g. major

6.0 IDENTIFICATION OF SCE FOR A GIVEN MAH

(1) The Oil & Gas industry has had its fair share of disasters and as a result most
countries require some form of safety management for their plants.

(2) The Bow- Tie Model or Bow-Tie Analysis is considered best industry practice
for the identification of SCEs associated with a given hazard. Every SCE
belongs to at least one SCE group.

(3) In cases where more than one SCE group may be relevant to a single SCE,
only one can be assigned in the Asset Register. In these cases, a judgment
must be made on the most appropriate SCE group to select.

(4) This should take into account the prime function of the item and likely failure
modes as well as the maintenance and / or inspection that will be applied to
the item and hence how any failure would be detected. For example:

i. A process isolation ESD valve could conceivably be safety critical in


terms of its hydrocarbon containment role (PC005) and its role as an
ESD system end element (SD001). However, its prime role is to be
able to close to isolate process inventories and, therefore, the most
appropriate SCE group for it to be assigned to would be SD006
(Process ESD valve).
ii. A certified junction box within a fire and gas system loop could be
assigned DS001 fire and gas detection. However, as it is passive in its
fire and gas functionality and its most likely failure mode would be of
its EX classification. Therefore, it would be more appropriate to assign
it to IC003 (certified electrical equipment). Note that assigning an SCE
group in the Asset Register is used only for reporting purposes. It
should not preclude any other relevant performance assurance tasks
being assigned to the SCE.

Upstream Safety Critical Elements (SCE) WW ALL X X S 05 049 I,

Figure 8 shows a flow chart of the process of identifying SCEs. Once a potential
SCE has been identified, the procedure starts at the top left-hand corner of the
flowchart in Figure 8. Apart from the start box, the color boxes consider equipment
related to process systems. The remaining boxes on of the diagram relate to non-
process systems (such as structural, floating structures and escape systems)

Contains hydrocarbon or hazardous substance:

 If the element in a system contains flammable hydrocarbons or


other hazardous substance, then there is the potential that failure
could result in a major accident event. Therefore, these items
would be considered as an SCE. Typically, these items would
include process pipework and vessels containing hydrocarbons,
and represent the process containment barrier grouping.

Part of a Control, Shutdown or Mitigation System:

 If the element is part of a control, shutdown, or mitigation system


then there is the potential that its function is to provide protection
against a major accident and their consequences. This would be
the case if it was designed to protect process equipment from
catastrophic failure. Typical examples are the facility Emergency
Shutdown Systems (ESD) and Passive Fire Protection (PFP). This
identifies those SCEs that are part of the Detection, Protection
and Shutdown systems barrier grouping.
 For facilities with IPF system, alarms and operator intervention
shall not be given credit as valid barriers nor shall they be
considered as SCEs. Note that for facilities that are designed
without IPF system with reference to Cause and Effect Matrix
(C&EM), basic process control system such as pressure control
valve (PCV), Level control valve (LCV) and the associated alarms,
etc. may be taken as barriers in the absent of other valid barriers.
In this case, the PCV, LCV and associated alarms shall be
considered as SCEs.
 The failure of an element may result, for example, in upset
conditions that lead to over-pressurisation of pipework or vessels
Internal

PETRONAS UPSTREAM Page 31


Upstream Safety Critical Elements (SCE) WW ALL X X S 05 049 I,
Management Procedure November 2019
if they are not designed to withstand the event. This would lead
to a major accident due to loss of containment in the upstream or
downstream systems. An example of this type of system is a High
Integrity Pressure Protection System (HIPPS). This type of system
falls into the Shutdown Systems barrier grouping.

Can failure result in a major accident or inability to prevent, control or


mitigate?

 This would be a consideration for systems that are generally not


considered part of the process. For example, structural failure on
a mobile offshore facility may lead to loss of stability and a Major
Accident. In addition, systems such as the navigational aids help
prevent ship collision. Similarly cranes or lifting equipment may
cause a Major Accident in the event of their failure due to dropped
objects. This should identify the Structural Integrity barrier group
and also the Protection Systems grouping for elements such as
navigational aids, collision avoidance systems, etc.

Does the element prevent harm to people? This would include items that:

 Protect people and the environment from a major accident hazard


involving fire, explosion and the release of toxic gases and fumes.
 Ensure effective escape from affected areas of the site, evacuation
of the site or transference of people to a place of safety.
 This identifies SCEs that are part of the Emergency Response and
Life Saving barrier groupings

Note that Appendix D of this report tabulated SCE until tag or component
level under “typical equipment type”.

Upstream Safety Critical Elements (SCE) WW ALL X X S 05 049 I,
Management Procedure November 2019
7.0 PERFORMANCE STANDARD FOR SCE

(1) A Performance Standard (PS) is a statement, which can be expressed in


qualitative or quantitative terms, of the performance required of a system,
item of equipment, person or procedure. PS defines the expected
performance or goal for each SCE to function in order to prevent MAH. The
PS is used as the basis for managing the hazard, e.g. planning, measuring,
control or auditing, through the lifecycle of the installation. This means that
any SCE needs an associated PS which describes the essential requirements
that must be maintained or provided on demand, throughout the lifecycle of
the installation.
(2) Therefore, a performance standard for an SCE may be different at the Design
Stage, than it is at the in Operations.
(3) Reviewing the performance standard continued suitability is extremely
important and should be done whenever there is a major change in the
operating context of the installation.
(4) For a performance standard to be suitable it should contain all of the
following:
(5) The goal or function of the SCE;
i. The functional performance requirement for the following criteria:
Functionality, Availability/Reliability and Survivability;
ii. Any dependencies on other SCEs;
iii. The pass/fail acceptance criteria by which performance of the SCE will
be measured and recorded;
iv. The reference material from which the acceptance criteria should be
derived; and
v. Any contingency actions that may be taken into consideration when
performance criteria are not met.
(6) Concepts that must be considered in the creation of the Performance
Standard include the following:
i. Functionality – What is it required to do?

 Functionality defines the key duties that the SCE is required to


perform. The minimum level at which that function is achieved
must also be defined. Criteria are considered ‘measureable’ where
Internal

PETRONAS UPSTREAM Page 36


Upstream Safety Critical Elements (SCE) WW ALL X X S 05 049 I,
Management Procedure November 2019
it is possible for a person carrying out an assurance activity to
clearly understand what the critical requirement is, and to be able
to measure or observe that the criteria is being achieved.

 During the operational phase of the installation, the performance


standard has to reflect how it shall be assured that the SCE is
maintained above the minimum acceptable condition. This may
not be the same as the design criteria. An acceptable level of safe
degradation should be defined. Availability – For what proportion
of time will the equipment be available to perform on demand?
ii. Availability is the percentage of time where the SCE is ready to
perform on demand. An emergency generator will generally be
unavailable during planned maintenance. If any part of a system is
defective, the system will have reduced Availability.
iii. Reliability – How likely is it to perform on demand?
 Reliability is intrinsically linked to Availability, but is subtly
different. Reliability refers to the ability of the item to perform on
demand (i.e. how good it is at reacting when required, due to the
quality of its design, maintenance or operation). Performance
Standard criteria for Reliability can be expressed in terms of
Probability of Failure on Demand (PFD), Safety Integrity Level
(SIL) or Mean Time between Failure (MTBF). The frequency and
results of testing must be such that the Reliability target is
confirmed.
 During operations, the ability to meet this is demonstrated by
functional testing at an appropriate interval. From these tests,
accurate data must be recorded and reviewed in detail to assess
if the required Reliability is being achieved. If the required level
of Reliability is not being achieved, appropriate action must then
be taken to improve it. This may include system redesign,
amendment of test intervals or revision of the maintenance
strategy.
 Targets for Reliability in operation may not be possible for some
SCEs as there may be no possibility to collect sufficient data to

Internal

PETRONAS UPSTREAM Page 37


Upstream Safety Critical Elements (SCE) WW ALL X X S 05 049 I,
Management Procedure November 2019
assure the target is met. In cases such as deluge valves or fire
pumps there should be a general expectation that they shall
operate on demand every time. It is vital that Technicians
understand this concept and record when failures are observed
during routine testing, i.e. that the reliability of an SCE is
compromised when they have to carry out corrective maintenance
in order for the intended function to complete its action.
iv. Survivability - How will the system perform post event.
 The performance standard criteria for survivability (e.g. after a
fire, explosion, ship impact, dropped object, extreme weather
etc.) must be define if the SCE is required to operate in the event
of a Major Accident and should state for how long the system
should continue to be effective. Each SCE should be considered
against the MAHs defined in the HSE Case. Does the MAH have
the possibility to impair the ability of the SCE to operate? If so,
how this shall be mitigated.
v. Interdependencies – which other SCEs are required to function in
order for the SCE to function.
 SCEs are often dependent upon each other in order to function.
Consider the following examples:
 Hydrocarbon containment relies on Structural elements to
support the containing equipment and piping
 Structural elements rely on Passive Fire Protection to
ensure they meet Survivability criteria
 Fire & Gas systems rely on Emergency Power and UPS to
ensure they provide protection during power outage or
ESD
 The interactions and dependencies for the SCE under
consideration should be clearly defined and the interface
between the relevant SCEs clearly identified. This is to ensure
that no critical interdependencies are overlooked.
(7) The above five criteria: Functionality, Availability, Reliability, Survivability
and Interdependencies is often referred to under the acronym FARSI and
are defined in the HSE Offshore Installations (Prevention of Fire and
Internal

PETRONAS UPSTREAM Page 38


Upstream Safety Critical Elements (SCE) WW ALL X X S 05 049 I,
Management Procedure November 2019
Explosion, and Emergency Response) Regulations (SI 1995/743) and PTS
18.53.02 Mechanical Integrity.
(8) Performance standards and acceptance criteria are also set at anything
from a system and / or area to an individual maintainable item.
Examples of SCEs at system level are:
 Fire detection system
 Emergency escape lighting system
 Fire water pump system

And at item level:

 Pressure vessel containing hydrocarbon


 Pipeline emergency valve
 Electrical motor operating in a potentially hazardous area
 Emergency generator.

7.1 Design Performance Standard (DPS)

(1) DPS defines the parameter, which can be measured or assessed so that
the suitability and effectiveness of each SCE can be assured and verified
during the project phase.
(2) DPS will be developed and approved during FEED after SCE identification
is completed during Design HSE Case Development.
(3) Details of design performance standard and its content are further
elaborated in Design Performance Standard (WW ALL X X S 05050 I, Rev.
1).

7.2 Operation Performance Standard

(1) Operation Performance Standard (OPS) is developed to focus on the


Functionality, Availability, Reliability, Survivability and Interdependencies
(FARSI) of the SCE to adequately prevent, detect, ranked and mitigate
MAH.
(2) It is critical to ensure & verify that all relevant SCE integrity are intact &
functioning effectively as intended throughout the operational life.

Specific Performance Standard (SSPS) for the effective site
implementation.

7.2.1 Generic Operation Performance Standards (GOPS)

(1) GOPS is a guideline developed at business level as a guidance for


Upstream to establish FARSI and minimum requirements that must
be performed for SCE to maintain its integrity throughout the
asset’s operational life. These shall include acceptance criteria that
the SCEs must meet and shall be developed in detail to enable the
practical assurance for barriers to remain effective

(2) As far as practicable, the functionality of SCE described in GOPS


shall be assured in 2 ways:

a) By assurance task, which involve routine, checking of their


design, maintenance, inspection and testing.
b) Verification activities that required to be performed to confirm
on the adequacy of assurance task.

(3) The GOPS is revised every 5 yearly or when there is significant


changes to design and maintenance strategy as part of verification
finding and etc. GOPS shall be endorsed by GTAs and SSPS shall
be developed with reference to GOPS.

7.2.2 Drilling and Well Integrity Performance Standard

(1) Drilling and well integrity performance standard are part of OPS and
is developed with reference to GOPS. Complete SCE management
requirement related to well are manage under PTG 25.00.22 Well
Integrity Management System.

(2) Well Integrity Management System specify detail assurance task


requirement for the following SCE Performance Standard:

 SI-007: Drilling Systems


 SI-010: Well Structures
 PC-008: Wells Hydrocarbon Containment

 PC-013: Well Intervention/Well Control Equipment
 SD-004: Well Isolation
 SD-008: Drilling Well Control Equipment

7.2.3 Site Specific Performance Standard

(1) Site Specific Performance Standard (SSPS) is developed to suit


the site/facility with making reference to the applicable GOPS. The
SSPS content shall in all cases comply with the GOPS in term of
Functional Criteria, Minimum Acceptance Criteria, and Measurable
Unit. While in some cases, minor changes to the Assurance Tasks,
and different frequency of the asset specific task list in
consideration of the availability of a more relevant, applicable and
practical practice (which shall be supported by relevant technical
standards) is acceptable. Such changes shall be reviewed and
endorsed by the discipline Technical Authority and approved by
Barrier Owner of respective SCE Group. Table 2 describes
functionality expectation in SSPS.

Functionality Expectation

a. Main aspect in functionality goal is the assurance task.


Assurance represents activities (preventive
maintenance strategies including inspection, planned
maintenance and testing) performed by the Operator to
ensure that SCEs are consistently and continuously
meeting Performance Standard requirements.
Assurance
Task
b. For the majority of SCEs, assurance tasks during the
operational phase are achieved through the carrying out
of the maintenance and inspection processes (including
functional tests). In some cases there is also a direct
inter-dependence between the planning of
maintenance/inspection tasks and the PSs, most notably

Internal

with regard to the reliability / availability performance
requirements.

c. SCE assurance activities to be carried out on the Asset


on a regular basis by suitably qualified and competent
personnel (Asset/ Country or other approved
personnel), will generally involve the following activities:

i. Function testing of the SCE;

ii. Visual inspection of the SCE;

iii. Preventative maintenance/inspection of the SCE;

iv. OR combinations of the above;

v. OR replacement/repair of the SCE (corrective


maintenance)

In each performance standard, against each defined


criteria as they arise in each of the PS parameters, there
is a brief description of the assurance tasks that are to
Responsible be undertaken (where applicable) by the Asset/Country
Party / Production department (or on their behalf by an
Accountable approved 3rd party, or specialist equipment
Party manufacturers). These tasks are required to be carried
out to ensure that all elements of the PS are met and
maintained throughout the operating phase of the
installation life cycle

7.3 Management of SCE in Maintenance Plan

(1) Referring to PTS 18.53.02 Mechanical Integrity, every identified SCE shall
have an effective ITPM. Appropriate ITPM tasks shall be established &
implemented in order to identify, predict or prevent the failure of SCE.
(2) The following guidance are related to SCEs Maintenance Plan :
a. The SSPS will be translated into ITPM task list and uploaded into PMMS
and the task list from the SSPS shall be defined as SCE Performance
Standard in PMMS.
b. ITPM tasks shall be timely executed, recorded and results are analyzed
with respect to the performance standards.
c. Effective quality assurance and control process for the ITPM performed
on SCE shall be established so that it will be properly executed to ensure
safety and sustainable production. The process shall include:
 Equipment meets design specifications and comply with applicable
standards, codes, and engineering practices (covered by PTS
18.53.06 Design Integrity)

 Personnel involved in inspection, testing, or performing work on SCE


are competent as per the requirements specified in CAC

 Test equipment are properly calibrated and maintained

 Maintenance tools, materials, spare parts, and equipment are


suitable for the application for which they will be used, and

 Verification and approval of technical specifications for direct charge


materials (non-stock materials), by the appointed TA

d. SCE Assurance task and non SCE Assurance task could be in the same
work order with clear indication to acknowledge that the task list is
Performance Standard task list. By diligently conducting the ITPM on
the SCE and recording their results, SCE can be assured to have
achieved the performance standard requirements.

e. Note that every SCE function test carried out will therefore be assessed
as a Pass / Fail. Those SCEs which fail the initial test/inspection and
which cannot be readily repaired / replaced or which fail a re-test clearly
indicate that the SCE is not functioning in accordance with its PS
Internal

PETRONAS UPSTREAM Page 44


Upstream Safety Critical Elements (SCE) WW ALL X X S 05 049 I,
Management Procedure November 2019
requirement. This condition potentially affects the asset ability to
respond to MAHs as described in the HSE Case. Action will therefore
have to be taken urgently to address the SCE non-compliance and to
ensure that it is returned to its required functionality.

f. Ineffective or any abnormal finding for SCE shall be closed accordingly


and overdue in closing the finding shall be risk analyzed and approved
by respective TA. It shall be managed via FSM with risk assessment
that address sufficient control, mitigation, inherent risk and residue risk
to support the ineffective SCE.

(3) It is important to ensure that the correct “SCE indicator” are assigned to SCE
at system or tag level prior uploading into PMMS, refer to appendix D for
SCE boundary in PMMS.
(4) Note that, in some cases (i.e. Well intervention, Drilling Well Control
Equipment, etc.) where the assurance tasks are performed outside of the
PMMS by external party owning the equipment or facility, the Asset Owner
should be able to verify that required tasks are duly communicated to the
party, being performed, recorded, and reported as required)

7.4 Critical Spares for SCE

(1) Critical spares for SCE should be identified to ensure that SCE can be
returned to full operation in as short a time as possible in the event of failure.
(2) Critical spares for SCE is recommended to be identified via e.g. critical spares
workshop by the technical subject matter expert whose familiar with the
environment in which the equipment will operate and the maintenance.
As a guidance, SCE critical spare selection process should take the following
considerations:
 Equipment or parts with Low Mean Time between Failures (MTBF),
routinely replaced during maintenance and subject to sudden failure
and parts that without which the SCE will not function
 Equipment or parts with long delivery lead time and geographical
location factor. Note that geographical location plays important role
i.e. where difficulties may be experienced in importing material in a

Internal

PETRONAS UPSTREAM Page 45


Upstream Safety Critical Elements (SCE) WW ALL X X S 05 049 I,
Management Procedure November 2019
timely manner
 Equipment or parts that OEM recommended to be spare parts lists
For project, during detail design stage where the design has been confirmed
and finalized and the maintenance strategy has been formed, predicted data
can be applied to the equipment to provide contingency of SCE failure.

(3) This is to ensure that the verification activities to be performed

Internal

PETRONAS UPSTREAM Page 49


Upstream Safety Critical Elements (SCE) WW ALL X X S 05 049 I,
Management Procedure November 2019
are done so without undue pressure to conform to a perceived
expectation of the outcome of the verification.
(4) Their function will not involve the consideration of an aspect, or a
thing liable to be examined, for which they bear or have borne
such responsibility as might compromise their objectivity.
(5) What this means in practice is that a competent person for Tier 2
SCE Verification cannot be involved in specifying, engineering,
executing or purchasing the design, construction, commissioning,
operation or decommissioning of an verifier asset. They may be
involved in checking, certifying, inspecting or otherwise
undertaking independent assessments of the conformity of the
asset during these phases of asset life, but cannot be otherwise
involved.

8.2 Type of Verification


(1) There are basically 2 phases of verification: SCE Verification for Project
Design, which is a one off and conducted at different stage of the project;
and the SCE Verification for Operation, which is throughout the
operational life of the asset. The summary of activities involved in each is
detailed in the tables below.
a) SCE Verification for Project and Design

i. Table 7 below described verification throughout project


phase. This is to ensure that before SCEs become
operational they have been subject to a suitable
verification process. Whether a project or modification
introducing new / additional SCEs is “greenfield” (all new)
or “brownfield” (major upgrade or change to existing
facilities), a Verification Scheme must be in place to
suitably detail the Verification activities, as described
previously, for the various phases as describe in Table 7.
Details of Project and design verification is stated in WW
ALL X X S 05050 I, Rev. 1, SCE Design Performance

9.0 MANAGEMENT OF SCE DEVIATION

(1) For Upstream, the system for the Works Management for SCE is the
PETRONAS Maintenance Management System (PMMS).
(2) All deviations to SCE including its Performance Standard and the Works
Management of its sustaining (i.e. Preventive Maintenance) and Restorative
(i.e. Corrective Maintenance) must be formally managed, reviewed and
approved.
(3) Failure modes found on SCEs which are affecting the reliability, integrity,
performance standards, and mitigated through repairs or replacements,
redesign, re-rating, or through temporary measures shall be managed via
Management of Change as stated in PTS Mechanical Integrity 18.53.02.
(4) Bypassing of any Safety Critical Protection Device (SCPD), required to be
managed as per stated in PTS Bypassing of Safety Critical Protective Device
18.23.05.
(5) Management of deviation related to changes of Latest Allowable Finish Date
(LAFD) is managed via e.g. Facility Status Management (FSM) Deviation
Management System.
(6) A Deviation Management in FSM typically involves the following:
i. The Requestor
ii. The Reviewer
iii. The Approver
(7) The Requestor is typically from the line e.g. maintenance supervisor. Before
raising a request to deviate, he/she should have checked that all other
means have been exhausted and with support by his/her field maintenance
manager, must invoke a deviation knowing that these are Safety Critical
Elements that could have immediate MAH impact, as per define in SCE
criticality PM deviation shall include acceptable criteria, control and
mitigation through RA or RCA and shall be approved by relevant TAs.
(8) The Reviewer is typically the respective discipline technical authority. The
role is to technically review the request and make the call whether to
Support or ask for Rework (i.e. of the request. Example: to add/ modify the
mitigation proposed) or Reject the request.

Internal

PETRONAS UPSTREAM Page 57


Upstream Safety Critical Elements (SCE) WW ALL X X S 05 049 I,

(9) The Approver is from the Asset holder function of the location. He/she makes
this call after checking the situation, the Reviewer’s input and either Approve
or ask for Rework or Reject the request.

(1) The Asset Register is a pre-requisite data which consist of a comprehensive inventory of the equipment
in a facility
(2) Prior to SCE identification process or workshop, it is critical to ensure that asset register is verified. This
can be reinforced:
i. Verify Asset Register with the latest as-built P&ID, drawings
ii. Perform site verification- Site Asset Personnel to be engaged verify Asset Register is complete

prior to SCE Identification.


(3) The participants for each SCE identification session must be identified accordingly, and ensure to be
present during the session.
