1 POLICY AND STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
1.1 PURPOSE
During the lifetime of any installation, many changes will occur. These could be changes to the
physical hardware of the installation, the control systems, the operating parameters, the
business processes used, or to the organisation running the installation.
These changes have the potential to increase the risks involved in operating the installation.
The risks would continue to remain due to the following reasons:
• Inadequate identification or evaluation of the risks due to the change.

• Inadequate physical design or execution of the change.
• Inadequate communication and documentation of the change.
It is well-documented that poor management of changes has contributed significantly to loss

of human life, property and also caused environment pollution. In order to avoid such
incidents, before any changes are made, its impact on safety, health and
environment shall be evaluated and appropriate controls put in place .
The purpose of this document called Management of Change (MOC) document is to

establish the system that will provide guidelines for managing any change in personnel,
process, equipment, surface facilities and work methods.
1.2 POLICY
It is the endeavour of ONGC to carry out changes in installation and related processes after
ensuring that the risks emerging out of such changes are identified and mitigated to a level of
as low as reasonably practicable.
1.3 STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
In pursuance of the policy mentioned above, the following strategic objectives are set:
• Use of appropriate techniques that would identify hazards due to the proposed
change.
• Risk due to the identified hazards would be assessed systematically. The focus of

Page 6
assessment would on the areas that present the greatest risk.

• Risks would be reduced to a level as low as reasonably practicable by
implementing appropriate controls.
• Management control would be exercised at different levels to
ensure safe implementation of the change required.
• Before the changed system is brought on line, an evaluation would be done to
ensure that change has been done as envisaged.
• Once a change in the engineered system is done, it would be duly reflected in
the P&IDs’ and relevant documents.
• All concerned persons would be informed prior to the change being made and
within 24 hours of the change effected or a soon as is practicable.
1.4 SCOPE
The instructions, procedures and guidance contained in MOC document apply to

all installations and activities in ONGC’s offshore operations.
Management of Change (MOC) process shall be applicable for managing any change in
personnel, process, equipment, surface facilities and work methods.
MOC process will not be applicable to those covered by Alternative Processes: Where other
specific and documented processes exist on site to manage specific changes. Common
examples of these are:
• Replacements in Kind (RIK): Where an equipment or item is replaced with an identical

item, usually in the course of routine maintenance, it is a direct like-for-like replacement.
• Addition of new fixed / floating installations usually designed and executed by a projects
function.
• Certain defined changes to operating modes.
• Instrument or control system changes within defined parameters.
• Changes or updates to operating procedures.
• Organisational changes.
• Bypass/abort of SCE for less than 14 days

3 TYPES OF CHANGE
3.1 CHANGE IN EXISTING FACILITY
3.1.1 Process change
The change that requires a change in P&ID, connecting a piping/spool piece,

changing the valve, changing a flange with different rating, re-routing of lines, adding a
connection to flare system/ vent system/drainage system , increasing or decreasing the set
points of alarms and trips , etc. Such changes are normally necessitated to ensure proper
process operations under changed conditions.
3.1.2 Procedural Change
It includes any change of operating/ maintenance procedure with reference to the one
indicated in operations/ maintenance manual For example: Platform start up procedure,
shut down procedure, changing operation from pressurized mode to stabilized
mode or vice –versa, well testing procedure, change of drilling fluid etc.
3.1.3 Change in operating parameters
It includes any change in operating parameters (settings) for the process or equipment,
like pressure, temperature, flow etc. e.g. changing operating parameters of separators,
changing the settings of trips etc.
3.1.4 Change in surface facility
In the course of operations, equipment require major repairs or overhauling, facility

require structural change or change of loads on the structure . It is then taken out of the
system. Such a change can affect safety of personnel.
Example:
1. One out of four lifeboats of living quarters is sent for repairs. Evacuation procedures
would have to be modified to accommodate all persons in three lifeboats.
2. Deck extensions, structural modifications or addition of load on structure

Page 11
3.1.5 By-Pass / Abort Control.
In order to continue operations, at times it may be necessary to make temporary

connections (e.g. chicksan joints), bypassing controls / alarm / trip mechanisms in
part or in full in Fire Gas detection systems, Unit Control Panels, bypassing
equipment safety system to bring back drill string to safe position etc. till such time that
normal operating procedures are restored. These short-term changes may result in
hazardous situations.
If such changes continue for more than 14 days, the same shall be addressed with
development of management of change document. Such changes upto 14 days shall be
addressed through documented authorisation by predetermined level of officers.
In case the short term bypass is considered critical from safety point of view, MOC document
may be developed for such short term bypasses also.
3.2 CHANGE IN PERSONNEL
Change in personnel is significant whenever there is change of contractor. Work

and safety cultures of the incoming contractor are key factors in managing the change.
4 MOC PROGRAM ELEMENTS
1. Identification of need for change

2. Identification of risks arising due to change
3. Assessment of risks
4. Identification of risk mitigation measures
5. Approval of change
6. Implementation of change
7. Information Management System to manage & track the change
8. Documentation and maintenance of records
9. Review of change
4.1 IDENTIFICATION OF NEED FOR CHANGE
Change is identified based on operational requirement, change in regulations, standards etc.

Change Management Team proposes the change.

Documents like P&ID, operating procedures etc. are to be updated. All concerned persons
shall be informed prior to the change being made and within 24 hours of the change
effected or as soon as is practicable.

Page 13
4.7 DOCUMENTATION AND MAINTENANCE OF RECORDS
Complete documentation of the change shall be developed and retained. The change master
record shall be updated by addition of the change to it and the same shall be maintained at
the installation.
4.8 REVIEW OF THE CHANGE

Periodic review of adequacy and effectiveness of change and mitigation measures shall be
carried out.
5 ORGANIZATION AND RESOURCES
5.1 ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF OFFICIALS
Management of change system, like any other system, ultimately relies on the People who
drive it. Role and responsibilities of officials who are to implement the change are given in the
Table below. At the installation level, OIM, Process Manager, Maintenance Manager, Wellhead
Manager, Construction Manager, Master, Barge Engineer, Chief Engineer (Marine), Tool
pusher, Sectional Incharges and HSE Manager have to work as a team in making the basic
proposal for change. Teamwork would produce a well-rounded proposal when each one of
them put in their expert views based on the ground situation. Effectiveness of the
management of change system will be greatly enhanced once the roles and responsibilities are
clearly understood. Of course, accountability is the key to success. Flowcharts in Annexes at
the end of the document show the management control at various stages from the initiation
of change, review by officials, and approval by competent authority and implementation of
change.

6. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM
6.1 EXISTING FACILITIES, PROCESS AND OPERATIONS
Continuous and systematic hazard identification is the most critical steps in risk
assessment. In installations, the main hazards are flammable and toxic substances i.e.
hydrocarbons and hydrogen sulphide (in case of sour fields). The experience gained by the
oil industry in the design and operation of offshore production platforms has been
compiled in a series of standard procedures, recommended practices, company
standards and regulatory requirements that represent good practice. These standards
specify the methods of control of hazards that have already been identified.
There are several methods for hazard identification such as What If, Checklist, HAZOP, FMEA,
Bow-tie Analysis, LOPA, Fault Tree Analysis, etc.
6.1.1 Observation of employees
An employee notices a sub-standard act or condition at the place of work first. If it is

immediately brought to the notice of supervisor or HSE Manager, the hazard can be
quickly controlled. The reported incident would also help identify the weakness, if
any, in the hazard control system and any new hazard. Employees shall be
motivated to report sub-standard act or condition at the place of work as soon as it
comes to their notice.
6.1.2 Review of past incidents and accidents
Head HSE shall carry out periodical review of all incidents and accidents that occurred in
ONGC Assets to collate statistical data to determine –
 The root cause of incidents/accidents;

 Adequacy of existing hazard control measures;
 Additional control measures required.
 Follow up actions.
Head HSE shall ensure that additional control measure, identified on the basis of review
mentioned above, are put in place in a time bound program. Head HSE shall submit a
report to the respective Asset/Services/Basin heads and Head Offshore Safety within 90
days of the review of incidents / accidents and the control measures put in place. The
report shall capture the lessons learned and the means of communicating the same to
personnel.

Page 19
6.1.3 HAZOP study
Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) studies are undertaken by the application of a

formal, systematic and critical examination of the process and engineering intentions of
a process design. The potential for hazard is thus assessed and the mal-operation or
malfunction of individual items of equipment and the consequences for the whole
system are identified. The study is structured around a specific set of guidewords. HAZOP
study is performed by a group of competent persons with relevant experience
and moderated by a HAZOP leader. Results of discussions are recorded in HAZOP worksheets.
The overall aims of HAZOP study are:
 To identify all deviations from the way the design is expected to work,
their causes and all the hazards and operability problems associated with
these deviations.
 To decide whether action is required to control the hazard or the
operability problem and if so, to identify the ways in which the problem can be
solved.
 To identify cases where a decision cannot be made immediately and to decide on
what information or action is required.
 To ensure that actions decided upon are followed through.

6.1.4 HAZOP guidewords and their meaning
Guide Meaning Comments

words
NO, NOT The complete negation No part of the intention is achieved and
OR of design intention nothing else happens
MORE OF Quantitative increase These refer to physical properties like flow

or decrease of any rates and temperatures
LESS OF relevant physical
parameters
AS WELL A qualitative increase All design and operating intentions are

PART OF A qualitative decrease Only some of the intentions are achieved some
are not
REVERSE The logical opposite of Reverse flow or chemical reaction
the intention
OTHER Complete substitution No part of the original intention is achieved.
THAN Something quite different happens
Outcome of a HAZOP study is a draft report containing a set of recommendations

to control the hazards identified. The recommendations may be divided into
two categories, i.e. essential and desirable. The outcome of group
discussions is recorded on worksheets. The worksheets are used to track down the
basis on which a specific recommendation is made. The study is completed with the
issue of a final report giving details of follow-up actions
6.2 PROCEDURAL CHANGE IN EXISTING INSTALLATION
If the procedure is large i.e., shut down, start up, hook up of a new facility,
the HAZOP technique with appropriate guidewords can be applied to identify
hazards. In case the procedure is small and stand- alone (say 8-10 steps in a given
sequence), Critical Task Analysis (CTA) or Job Safety Analysis (JSA) techniques are
applied for hazard identification. For Simultaneous Operations (SIMOPS), a SIMOPS
HAZID is done. It is basically a procedural HAZOP study. The operations in each
of the installation are listed in a matrix format and then the HAZOP study begins.
Page 21
6.3 CHANGE IN PARAMETERS

An engineering review is to be done to identify hazards. The equipment data sheet and
instrumentation provided for process control alarms and shut down functions
shall be reviewed.
7 ASSESSMENT OF RISK OF PROPOSED CHANGE
7.1 ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
It is recognized that no industrial activity is entirely free from risk. It is never possible
to be sure that every eventuality has been covered by safety precautions. In
assessment of risk the principle is that the risk to persons should be reduced to a
level “As Low as Reasonably Practicable” (ALARP). This level is reached when it is
found that there would be a gross disproportion between the cost (in money, time
or trouble) of additional preventive or protective measures, and the reduction in risk
they would achieve. In other words, it can be said that the risks should be low
enough for the public to tolerate. This is what risk criteria attempt to establish.
7.1.1 What is tolerable?
Where an identified hazard is one that is already recognized by the oil

industry, compliance with the standard good practice would be adequate. Where a new
hazard is identified, the risk to persons should be reduced to a level “As Low as
Reasonably Practicable” (ALARP).
7.1.2 Method of assessment
The main principles of safe facilities design and operation are:
 Minimising the likelihood of uncontrollable release of hydrocarbons and other

hazardous substances.
 Minimising the chances of ignition of flammable fluids.
 Preventing escalation of fire and damage to equipment.
 Providing for protection of personnel and escape.
These principles must be applied in assessment of risk. However, the direction and level
of effort devoted to such assessment should be relative to the inherent risk. The
focus on the areas that present the greatest risk is essential.
Page 22
7.1.3 Assessment criteria for change in personnel
A formal assessment of risk is required when a new contractor is hired for

any service related to operations at an offshore facility. The criteria for assessment are:
 Contractual personnel staying on ONGC’s installation shall follow ONGC’s SMS

 The safety management system of the contractor personnel not staying on
ONGC’s installation shall be compatible with ONGC’s SMS otherwise a bridging
document should be developed for interface management of two SMSs
 Safety training of contractor’s personnel shall be appropriate to their
functions and approved by ONGC.
 Emergency response system of the contractor shall dovetail into
ONGC emergency response system.
7.2 RISK ASSESSMENT
Once hazards have been identified, the risks are estimated from the potential
consequences and the likelihood of occurrence, using qualitative and/or quantitative
methods such as Fault Tree, Event Tree, Risk Matrix, etc. The total risk is then evaluated by
comparing against criteria for acceptability
A HAZID (Hazard Identification) study is a brainstorming session to identify as many

hazards as possible. A checklist of major hazards guides the discussions. The
guidewords are as follows:
 Hydrocarbon release
 Collision
 Structural failure
 Capsize / Sinking /Drifting/Grounding/Listing
 Transport (Vessel/Helicopter) incident
 Occupational accidents
 Non-process fires
 Rig Deployment
 Equipment Adequacy
 F&G system
 Rig Stability
 Blowout
 Stuck-up
Page 23
HAZID is typically performed by a group of competent persons with

relevant experience, moderated by a HAZID leader and reported by a skilled
secretary. The output of a HAZID study is a qualitative assessment of the hazards
identified. The Specialist Pool Manager shall ensure that competent persons
conduct a HAZID study then together with the Head (HSE) they shall review the
HAZID study report and finalize the list of hazards that need to be addressed.
7.3 PROCESS / PROCEDURE/ PARAMETER/ SURFACE FACILITIES/ EQUIPMENT CHANGE

IN EXISTING FACILITIES
1. Checklists given in the Annexes or developed on these lines should be used by

the change management team to assess the impact of change. The focus
should be to assess whether standard procedures are being followed and to
identify any problems that may further attention.
2. Based on the information from the checklist the change management team assesses
whether the change is significant enough for warranting detailed risk assessment.
Changes requiring detailed risk assessment are termed as major, all other changes
are termed as minor change.
3. For major changes, the Team shall examine the output of –
a. Hazards observed by employees

b. Review of past accidents / incidents
c. HAZID study report
d. HAZOP study recommendations
e. JSA/Critical Task Analysis
f. Engineering Review and then
i. Describe the change proposed;

ii. Describe the hazard / hazards identified due to the proposed change;
iii. Review the impact on process, mechanical and electrical
equipment, safety and environmental aspects (Use Hazard Identification
Checklist placed at Annex-1).
4. On the basis of assessment made as above, the Team shall judge-
a. The acceptability of the risk;

b. Adequacy of existing control measures;
c. Additional risk reduction measures required and its estimated cost.
Page 24
5. The Team shall submit its report to Surface Area Manager (SAM)/Rig Manager (RM).
In turn, SAM/RM will forward the report, together with his comments, to
the Head HSE then on to the Surface Manager/Operations Manager for approval.
6. Management’s decision on the proposed change and risk reduction measure

shall be conveyed to the Team.
7.4 CHANGE IN PERSONNEL
The Team shall assess the compatibility of the contractor’s safety management system,
emergency response system and training standard of its employees with that of
ONGC. On the basis of the assessment, the Team shall judge;
a. The acceptability of risk;

b. The gaps that must be bridged.
8 IMPLEMENTATION
8.1 PROGRAM FLOW CHART
Once the proposal for change receives management’s approval, the Change Management
Team has to get on with its implementation in a time-bound program. To put the
matter in clear perspective, the following flow charts are presented:
• Flow chart for change in process/procedures/parameter/ surface facilities/

equipment
• Flow chart for bypass/ abort-control
The Change Management Team shall ensure that the change made is duly reflected
in P&IDs & relevant documents and change master record. All changes to be discussed in
Group safety meetings and displayed prominently for awareness of personnel on-board.
Temporary changes to be marked in change master record for reverting back to original
condition.
8.2 PROJECT SCHEDULE AND MILESTONES
Change Management Team shall prepare a project schedule with milestones for
implementation of the change. Copies of project schedule shall be made available to:
1. Surface Manager /Operations Manager

2. Head HSE
Page 25
3. Surface Area Manager/Rig Manager

4. Specialist Pool Manager/ PMM / Engineering Superintendent
5. Offshore Installation Manager
8.3 CHANGE CLOSE OUT
OIM will oversee and ensure implementation of the change at site. Once the change is
implemented, OIM will ensure that suitable changes are incorporated in the P&IDs and
other relevant documents. OIM will close out the change by signing off in the Change
Control Form.
Subsequently, it is also to be ensured that the change has been conveyed to all the
personnel likely to be affected by the change.
8.4 PERIODIC REVIEW
Surface Manager/ Operations Manager shall review, once every six-months, all changes
under implementation / implemented in accordance with this MOC procedures. The focus
of review would be on timely implementation, adequacy of procedures and control,
documentation and communication.
9 CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT
9.1 TRACKING RESULTS OF THE CHANGE
Once a change has been implemented at an installation, the effect of such change
on hazard control shall be monitored by Head-HSE as per a pre-
