(BPP) - to our partners, contractors, stakeholders and the public for the period January - December 2004. In addition, this report details our HSE policy; significant HSE risks and objectives and targets, and programs to manage those risks. We are a leading exploration and production organisation in Pakistan, producing around 36 percent of the country's oil and 7 percent of natural gas. In all our operations, we are committed to high standards of HSE and strive to achieve the corporate goals of no accidents, no harm to people, and no damage to the environment. I am pleased with the progress of our HSE performance in 2004 and appreciate the efforts of all our employees and contractors who have fulfilled their roles, however there is never room for complacency. Looking forward to 2005, BPP is committed to achieving our HSE objectives and targets presented within this document. Our focus remains to ensure safety of people working with us and around us and to implement sustainable options which reduce the impact of our operations.

Tariq Khamisani President October 2005

2. Introduction
BPP is fully committed to achieve the corporate goals of:

No accidents, no harm to people, and no damage to the environment.


These goals are endorsed by our leadership in our HSE policy (see next page). To achieve these corporate goals, BPP has initiated several management and technical systems which address health, safety & environmental risks. Example of some of these systems are: Getting Health Safety and Environment Right (gHSEr) BPs global HSE management system, providing a framework for HSE compliance. BP Group HSE Standard Process Safety / Integrity Management - This standard is focussed on the operational integrity of BP sites and based on the principle of risk assessment to evaluate hazards. Functional Standard - Driving Safety Since driving safety is one of the key risk associated with BP operations globally, BP has issued a Functional Standard on Driving Safety. It is mandatory for all BP operations including BPP to comply this functional Standard. Environmental Management System (EMS) - Our EMS is in line with the ISO 14001 standard and received certification for the same in January 2003. The EMS provides the framework required to achieve the goal of no damage to environment listed in our HSE Policy. Integrated Management System (IMS) BPP has fully developed Integrated Management System (IMS) which conforms to ISO 14001 and OHSAS-18001 requirements. The IMS process involves a continuous cycle of planning, implementation, checking/corrective action, and review to ensure continual progress on HSE performance as depicted graphically below:

4. Our health, safety and environmental activities and performance


Due to the nature and scale of our activities, there are some HSE risks associated with our operation including road safety, contractors HSE performance, lack of hazard awareness etc. We actively monitor and measure our impacts to better understand the techniques and methods that we can apply to continuously improve our overall HSE performance. Significant HSE impacts of our operations along with their relative manageability during 2004 are summarized in the matrix below.

L Desired direction V L VH H M L VL

All operations associated with key HSE risks (as depicted in above risk matrix) require certain controls. These controls are established, updated, and implemented to prevent and/or minimize the key HSE hazards. To continuously improve our HSE performance, all these controls are further translated into objectives and targets and programmes with time frames for completion as per the requirements of ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 systems. The following sections contain details of key HSE objectives, targets, management programs and performance against the 2004 targets.

4.1 Personal Safety


Objective In line with the BP Group HSE Policy of no accidents, no harm to people and no damage to the environment, the objective of personal safety management is to avoid all accidents. Targets Our targets for 2004 were as below: Fatality Zero DAWFCF DAWFCF not to exceed 0.07 RIF RIF not to exceed 0.18.

Management Since BP believes in continuous improvement, performance targets are set at the start of the new year on all identified significant HSE risks. Personal safety, being the top of all gets highest attention in the organisation. New years targets are set keeping in view previous years performance, with the exception of fatalities for which organisation has zero tolerance. Performance All of the above targets were achieved in 2004. In 2004, there was one DAFWC incident involving a contractor employee, who was working behind shale shaker, fell on the ground. Four occupational related injuries occurred at BPP sites, which required medical treatment. The following table and graph show the comparison of our performance over last three years.

4.2 Safety Inputs (Leadership & Behaviour)


Objective Foster good safety behaviours using various safety leadership tools and involving the workforce. Targets Our targets for 2004 were to improve upon 2003 numbers on Advance Safety Audits frequency (ASAf), Safety Observations frequency (SOf), Safety training hours and action items closure. Management Essential elements of safe performance are management involvement and ownership of the HSE performance, and the engagement of the whole workforce. BPP recognises use of tools such as ASAs, SO, Safety training, timely completion of identified action items. These 4 parameters are collectively called as safety inputs or leading indicators. Increased safety inputs mean decreased incidents. Performance In 2004, our performance on leading safety indicators showed significant improvements, resulting from leaderships continual drive to actively engage contractors, as shown below: Safety Inputs ASAf SOf Training Hours (TH)

4.3 Driving Safety


Objective Minimize road accidents by implementing various requirements set under BPs Functional Driving Standard. Targets Our targets for 2004 were as below: Reduce driving exposure: kilometres driven target set for 2004 was not to exceed 2003 actual at Field Total Vehicle Accident Rate (TVAR) not to exceed 0.59. Management Road accidents (by BPP or its contractors) are serious risk for BP globally. Road safety is also a significant risk for BPP operation due to little or no safety awareness in the communities; poor conditions of the road infrastructure, combined with the high number of bowser movements and kilometres driven by BPP vehicles. Road safety risk has several dimensions and in the organisation, this risk is managed separately for the (a) risk exposure to BPP staff and contractors (b) risk exposure to community and in particular children as in past, some of the road related incident involved community members. (a) risk management for BPP staff and contractors Programmes are in place to pro-actively manage the human and mechanical aspects of road safety through implementation of Group Functional Standard on Driving Safety that lays down requirements for: Vehicle condition, Training & Assessment of drivers, Alertness of drivers, use of mobile phone / radio while driving the vehicle and Journey management. (b) risk management for communities in Badin concession Raising community awareness and in particular among children remained a focus area for BPP in 2004. BPP launched several programmes to address road safety awareness in local community. Programmes includes conducting road safety sessions in local schools, publishing of printed material, mass media awareness campaigns involving local newspapers, on road safety, such as road safety awareness campaign for schools, involving traffic police in this awareness campaigns are just few examples. Performance Field Operations performed exceptionally well to not only meet the kilometres driven target but achieved 16.2 % more reduction beyond the target. Unfortunately, our target for TVAR was not achieved. 2002 Driving Exposure (km driven) TVAR 8,372,868 1.07 2003 5,972,517 0.84 2004 4,382,019 1.14

Note: although TVAR target in 2004 could not be achieved, one of the contributing factor was a continued focus from leadership on open reporting. Moreover staff were encouraged to report even minor incidents (fender / bender type), which were not being reported previously. Because of these additional factors, target of TVAR could not be achieved.

4.4 Contractors HSE Performance


Objective Promote safety culture amongst all BPP Contractors Targets Bring contractor vehicles into BPPs net of DriveRight unit to control over speeding of vehicles Roll out Safety Immersions for contractors Develop and implement program for contractors HSE audits, to be lead BPP Leadership Management Contractors are an important part of our workforce. BPPs Contractor Safety Management System (CSMS) is designed and executed to ensure that key HSE risks related to the contractors activities are identified and required controls are in place to minimise those risks. The following initiatives have been taken under CSMS: Risk Ranking of contractors (high / medium / low) Assigning contract sponsors (CS) Performance tracking: HSE KPIs for contractors & CS Imparting knowledge of HSE Immersions to contractors (driving, lifting & energy isolations) Leadership HSE audits Some of the contractors have also taken lead to certify their HSE management systems for ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001. Performance The following data shows significant achievements in contractor HSE performance due to our continued focus and by actively engaging contractors: 7 million man hours without a DAFWC Zero fatalities since 2003 Significant reduction in over-speeding (Kazmi are numbers available for contractor vehicles) 64 contractor audits done by BPP leadership

4.5 Atmospheric Emissions (Greenhouse Gases)


Objective Reduce greenhouse gas emissions as part of BP Group external commitment. Targets GHG emission not to exceed 200,000 CO2 eq. Tonnes (equity share) in 2004. Management Major contributors for GHG (mainly CO2 and methane gas emissions) in BPP are (a) Flaring of low pressure gas (b) use of fuel gas and diesel to operate generators, compressors, pumps and drive vehicles (c) venting of small amount of methane gas Though emission of GHG is not regulated under Pakistans Environmental laws, as a part of BP Group, BPP is committed to reduce its GHG emissions year by year. Following programmes are employed: Adding compressors wherever economically viable to compress low pressure flared gas in the national stream. Preventive maintenance of equipment and regular tuning of engines (to economise fuel consumption). Use of natural gas, wherever available, as a fuel. Performance Despite increase in fuel consumption (jet pumps, compressors and amine plant) and CO2 emissions from new amine plant at Tangri, overall reductions in GHG emissions (real sustainable reductions) were achieved in 2004 by reducing flaring of low pressure gas through installation of compressors at Jabo and South Buzdar Deep-1 locations. In 2004, 4% GHG were achieved from our operations. GHG emissions CO2 eq. Tonnes 2002 BPP

4.6 Oil Spills


Objective Minimize hydrocarbon release into the environment. Targets Develop a reporting & monitoring process of Hydrocarbon major incidents and / or high potential (HiPO) releases. Management BPs Integrity Management system assures wells and facilities are designed, constructed, operated and maintained in a safe fashion using appropriate codes and standards to prevent the occurrence of, and minimise the consequences of, catastrophic releases of hazardous materials and major structural failures. Performance In 2004, reporting and monitoring of oil spills and leaks started under the definition set by the Integrity Management system. The aim of it was to develop a baseline of spills and leaks so that reduction targets could be set in subsequent years. In 2004, one oil spill of more than 1bbl occurred in which 8 bbl of oil was spilled. This spill occurred from low pressure trunk line.
