Maintaining Safety Performance in the Context of High Drilling and Completion Activities – Lessons Learnt From 2.5 Years without a Lost Time Injury (LTI)
Year: 2017
Proceedings Title : Proc. Indon. Petrol. Assoc., 41st Ann. Conv., 2017
Total E&P Indonesie (TEPI) has operated 7 rigs on average from 2011 – 2016. The drilling and completion operation are categorized as offshore by using submerge swamp and jack up rigs. Approximately 100 wells were drilled with 4 million man hours in average within a year. The challenges are the high proportion of direct involvement of human resources with equipment and materials, turnover of personnel and varying level of crew educational background. In 2014, there were 11 recordable injuries where 4 of them are LTI (Lost Time Injuries). Based on the incident analysis, the root causes are mainly related to inadequate supervision and leadership.
In order to enhance and maintain the safety performance, there are two categories of intiative i.e. HSE culture / communication in order to maintain personnel awareness on safety and audits and inspection in order to monitor and control the operation. The Rig Action List (RAL) is monitored regularly to ensure effective follow up. The Drilling Manager performs regular reviews planning, action lists, objectives and targets as part of the HSE Management System implementation.
Well Construction (WLC) Division reached 2.5 years without Lost Time Injury (LTI). The safety performance record is an outstanding result, considering the amount of work performed by all personnel offshore and onshore.
