Foreword
This BP Practice 100276 - RELEASE FOR IMPLEMENTATION Management of Drilling,

Completions, Interventions, and Rig-specific Critical Equipment (Safety) is a revision of
Management of Critical Equipment (Safety) for Drilling Rigs which is updated to include
completions and well intervention based operational Critical Equipment (Safety) (CE[S]).
Due to extensive changes, revisions are not identified by a bar in the left margin (as is normal
practice).

BP Practice 100276
Equipment (Safety)
1 Scope and Exclusions
This BP Practice specifies requirements and permissions for the identification and
management of CE(S) in operations (or certain aspects of operations) if major accident risks
(MAR) are identified. The scope of this document is limited to equipment installed above the
wellhead. The designation of equipment as CE(S) does not preclude the application of defined
and documented maintenance, inspection, and testing procedures to equipment outside the
scope of this document.
It is recognised that there are material differences among risk profiles across GWO
operations. The requirements of this document apply to the aspects of the operation giving
rise to (or providing the ability to respond to) a MAR. Application to other aspects of a
particular operation is at the discretion of the entity and is applied in a prioritised, risk
informed manner. This application depends on the risk scenarios for that particular operation,
the barriers involved, and in consideration of applicable local regulations.
This document applies to all rigs owned by or under contract to BP and any installation or
worksite (including, but not limited to, normally unmanned installations [NUI] and rigless, land-
based worksites) used for BP GWO operations.

CE(S) using a documented description of the rig or operations-specific CE(S).
b. Has maintained a sufficient inventory of spares for the completion of related CE(S)
PMRs.
For land-based operations (depending on proximity), consideration can be given to
holding spares in a central warehouse or distribution facility.
c. Has maintained an inventory of spares that includes assessed and defined
contingency considerations (if required by contract between BP and the supplier).
5.4 Critical Equipment (Safety) Documentation Management

a. Has maintained a rig-specific and/or operations-specific CE(S) list in the rig CE(S)
management system.
b. Has identified and documented applicable CE(S) in the rig PMS.
c. Has identified CE(S) equipment not recorded in the rig PMS (typically, short-term
rental equipment for intervention operations) and logged in a temporary worksite
equipment register (that includes all nominated CE[S]) on the rig or at the worksite
to identify equipment used during operations.
d. Has documented, recorded, and made available the results of maintenance,
inspection, and testing of CE(S):

a. GWO in Region shall:
1. Verify that CE(S) maintenance deferred two or more times in sequence is
reported to the relevant approval level.
The regional approval escalation plan is followed to identify the level of approval.
Maintenance and testing deferrals are expected to be reported to the WSL by the
contractor and inserted into the maintenance update section of the daily operations
report.
2. Oversee and review risk assessments managed by contractors to verify either:
a) If the operation can be continued safely until the overdue CE(S) is
addressed.

BP Practice 100276
Equipment (Safety)
b) If any additional mitigations are required to continue safe operations until

the revised maintenance or testing due date.
3. For BP owned and managed rigs and/or equipment, demonstrate that the
design criteria set by the designer or equipment manufacturer for CE(S) is
being maintained, by obtaining, or developing and managing:
a) Performance standards, or
b) Maintenance, inspection, and testing activity recorded in the MMS in
accordance with OEM specifications.
Performance standards can be created and updated by a third party on BP equipment
with the process managed by BP.
b. GWO in Region may request evidence that the supplier:
1. Has defined and documented planned maintenance, inspection, and test
routines for each item of CE(S).
2. For contractor managed rigs and/or equipment, has demonstrated that the
design criteria set by the designer or equipment manufacturer for CE(S) is
being maintained, by obtaining, or developing and managing:
a) Performance standards, or
b) Maintenance, inspection, and testing activity recorded in the MMS in
accordance with OEM specifications.
3. Has subjected CE(S) maintenance, inspection, and testing activities and/or
certifications that have become overdue (or are proposed for deferral) to a
formal MoC process.
5.6 Critical Equipment (Safety) Management of Change

GWO in Region shall:
a. Define and document (at each BP-owned rig or worksite only) the authorisation
levels required for the approval of the activities defined in 5.5b.3 that are subject to
the MoC process.
For contracted rigs, the MoC authorisation levels will be established via the
contractor’s Management System. However, GWO will provide final approval of any
change requirements.
b. Notify (for BP-owned rigs and worksites only) applicable suppliers of the MoC
authorisation requirements and authorisation levels.
For contracted rigs, the MoC authorisation level notifications will be established via
the contractor’s Management System.
c. Review and manage the update of the CE(S) measurable standards (performance
standards or MMS Specifications) for BP-owned equipment if there is a change to
MAHs, equipment, systems, or operating parameters.
Performance standards can be updated by a third party on BP equipment but with the
process managed by BP.
The MoC approving authority is determined by the type and level of the MoC, which
is governed by the RAPID (illustrated within BP Practice 100100 - New Well
Common Process).

BP Practice 100276
Equipment (Safety)
5.7 Disablement or Override of Critical Equipment (Safety) Authorisation and

Communication

Validation Tool for Critical Equipment (Safety)
The flow chart illustrated in Figure C.1 is used as a validation tool for those hardware safety
barriers identified during the hazard assessments associated with major accident hazards.
Steps 5 and 6 permit subdivision of a system or component into subsystems or sub-
components. These subdivisions can facilitate development of a manageable, planned
maintenance and/or inspection program.
