Angola Region Anomaly Management Procedure

4 ANOMALY MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE

Why this matters:

Anomalies are a condition or occurrence that has the potential to result in the failure of an
engineered system impacting core safety, environment or business values.

4.1 Anomaly Management

An anomaly is a condition or occurrence that is outside the acceptable operating envelope
of an item, or a deviation for the as-built condition. Anomalies have the potential to result in
the failure of an engineered system, impacting core safety, environment or business values.
Excursions outside of the specified design window for operation should also be considered
as anomalous. Whilst individual excursions may only occur for a short period and are
unlikely to cause an observable change, their cumulative impact can.
It is essential that anomalies are subjected to an engineering assessment with the risk
identified, defined and managed2 in each case. This assessment will, where necessary,
lead to timely remedial action to prevent the escalation of risk.
The engineering assessment, along with any resulting actions and supporting
documentation, form the basis of the Anomaly Management System for the Angola Region
Integrity Management.

4.2 Anomaly Management Strategy

Anomaly management as defined in the Subsea IM Strategy requires the following:
• Appropriate system(s) in place to detect or identify anomalies
• Anomalies to be allocated to an appropriate Principal Engineer (PE)
• Classify anomalies for Criticality and Status
• Perform Risk Assessment as appropriate for Classification
• Mitigate or Remediate in accordance with Classification requirement

4.3 Overview of Procedure

Anomaly management fits into the overall Integrity Management System and OMS
Performance Improvement Cycle3 as shown in Figure 1. This figure shows the anomaly
management system broken down into its components within the OMS framework for
performance improvement.

4.4 Anomaly Management Procedure

4.4.1 Systems to detect or identify anomalies

Anomalies may be detected directly, through observation, alarms, alerts, data review or via
the routine monitoring of KPIs for the subsea system.
Anomaly detection is managed via the following documentation:
• Subsea Integrity Management Strategy, which defines the overall strategy to be
applied in managing the integrity of the Angola Region Subsea Facilities.
• Integrity Management System, which, by exception, defines what constitutes an
anomaly.
• PMRs and WSEs provide a breakdown of tasks to be included in a specific
inspection. They are produced and maintained by BP.
• Inspection Procedures detail the activities required to undertake the specific tasks to
be completed during an inspection. They are generally produced by the inspection
contractor and approved by BP.

The review and modification of these documents is a separate activity that does not form
part of this document. It is, however, an input to their revision as shown in Figure 1.

4.4.2 Anomaly Allocation

It is accepted that since a number of organisations are involved in the identification of
subsea anomalies, initial anomaly identification uses a variety of numbering systems and
databases.
To allow effective assessment and monitoring of anomalies they will be allocated a
discipline Identifier by the PE involved in their initial assessment:

Identifier Description
Riser Tower All structural items of Riser Towers from the flexible pipe riser hang-off to
the suction anchor (inclusive).
Riser All hard and flexible risers, inclusive of topsides pipe work up to the
emergency shut down valve, dynamic jumpers and spools from the
FPSO to FTAs
Flowline Flowlines and spools from Manifolds to FTAs and from Manifolds to ILTs
Jumper Spools and jumpers from Xmas trees to Manifolds and from Xmas trees
to ILTs
OOL GtP Oil Offloading Lines from FPSO to Calm Buoy
Umbilical All umbilicals including those to the FPSO.
Tree Xmas trees
Structures Manifolds, Flowline Termination Assemblies, In-Line Tees
RTMS Riser Tower Monitoring Systems including all instrumentation, controls,
sensors and acoustics
Controls All subsea control and monitoring systems (excl RTMS) including topside
related termination units and power supplies
Flow Assurance All flow assurance and internal corrosion

Table 2 Anomaly discipline identifier.

Once the BP anomaly identifier discipline code has been advised, all organisations involved
in the identification, assessment or rectification of anomalies shall include it in the title or
descriptive text of the anomaly.

4.4.3 Risk, Criticality & Status

This nomenclature in GP32-40 4, ‘In Service Inspection and Testing’ has been modified to
account for the different circumstances of subsea anomaly management. The GP32-40
definitions of Defect, Anomaly and Imperfection are not used.
The criticality of an anomaly is directly linked to the risk score; this is initially indentified
using the relevant FMECA.
All anomalous findings during subsea surveys and operations are, by design, identified as
Anomalies and Classified by Criticality and Status as follows:

Remediate Anomaly for which Remediation is required to reduce Criticality

Table 4 Definition of anomaly status

On identification anomalies are processed through two distinct steps. First they are given
an initial priority, which is agreed on by the relevant BP engineering team. This sets the
timeline on the KPI and defines how quickly the formal risk assessment must be completed.
Secondly, a formal technical evaluation is completed providing a detailed understanding
and risk assessment of the anomaly.

4.4.4 Initial Anomaly Classification

Categories used for the initial classification are:

 Error Classification
Error classification is used for anomalies which have mistakenly been identified and
entered into the anomaly management process.
Errors can be closed out by agreement at the monthly Anomaly Management Meetings
held with the Engineering Contractor. Reporting of close-out shall be included in the
Anomaly Management Report and a record of the error maintained in the Anomaly
Database.

Angola Region Anomaly Management Procedure

 Low Criticality
A Low Criticality anomaly is one that has a risk score of 6 or less on the standard BP
Group Risk Matrix2.
Low Criticality anomalies cannot be directly closed-out. Typically Low anomalies are
monitored in case of change pending assessment of the risk.
Low Criticality anomalies must be included in the Anomaly Management Report if they
are given a status of Referred or Remediate, however any Low criticality Anomaly may be
included in the Anomaly Management Report if deemed appropriate by the responsible
PE.

 Medium Criticality
A Medium Criticality anomaly is one that has a risk score of between 6 and 9 on the
standard BP Group Risk Matrix2.
Medium Criticality anomalies are likely to be either Monitored or Referred for further work
to better understand the anomaly, its root cause and its deterioration timescale. Following
referral a Medium Criticality anomaly may have its criticality adjusted or may remain as
Medium. If it remains as Medium then status will be Monitor or Remediate.
Medium Criticality anomalies cannot be directly closed-out. A Medium Criticality anomaly
must be remediated to allow close-out.
The Anomaly Management Report summarises the status of the anomaly and details the
relevant supporting documentation. Supporting documentation shall be controlled with a
BP VNET document number referenced and/or appropriate substantiated references
documented in the Report.

 High Criticality
A High Criticality anomaly is one that has a risk score greater than 9 on the standard BP
Group Risk Matrix2.
High Criticality anomalies are likely to be referred for immediate work to better understand
the anomaly, its root cause and its deterioration timescale. Following referral a High
Criticality anomaly may have its criticality adjusted or may remain as High.
If an anomaly remains at High Criticality following referral its Status will be Remediate.
All High Criticality anomalies shall have a Technical Document or Position Paper
produced and referenced in the Anomaly Management Report.

4.5 Formal Anomaly Risk Assessment

Based on the prioritisation defined in the anomaly assessment, the anomalies undergo a
formal risk assessment process, documented via a technical report.
Key documents used include:
 FMECAs
 Risk Register

Angola Region Anomaly Management Procedure

Following the formal inspection a Technical Document will be produced as described in

Section Anomaly Management Documentation.

4.6 Feedback of Comments to the Subsea Contractor

Comments to the Subsea Contractor, who carry out the ROV inspection campaigns, will be
entered in the Engineering team anomaly database and officially issued on a quarterly
basis.
The issuing of comments via the Anomaly Management report will be the responsibility of
the individual Engineering team. Comments should be issued no later than 45 days after
the end of each Quarter.

4.7 Anomaly Management Documentation

Engineering Team Anomalies Database

The Engineering Team Anomaly Database contains a record of all work carried out on each
anomaly, along with a summary of key information regarding the anomalies themselves. It
provides a method for tracing the status of anomalies through the system and calculates
the number of active anomalies in each stage. It also generates the quarterly KPI status
and the related statistics.

Anomaly Management Report

The Subsea Operations Engineering Team Anomaly Management Key Performance
Indicator (KPI) dictates, as a minimum requirement, that an Anomaly Management Report
must be issued on a quarterly basis. This is to contain a summary of the key information in
the Engineering Team Anomaly Database and provides the main auditable record for all
anomaly actions. Should an Engineering team deem it appropriate such reports may be
produced on a monthly basis. This document shall be maintained and authorised by each
Principal Engineer (PE) for the area of their remit. This document shall record all anomalies
with Medium or High Criticality or with Referred or Remediate Status.

Technical Documents
All anomalies, other than those raised in error, shall be assessed and the results of the
assessment documented in a controlled Technical document. The approval of a technical
document confirms that any appropriate updates should be made to the FMECA. All
Technical Documents shall be given an official BP document number and stored on the
VNET file store. In the event of an anomaly being given the status of Refer or Remediate,
the anomaly may be re- assessed following the implementation of further actions and the
results of the assessment documented in an update to the initial Technical Document.
All Technical Documents are referenced in the Engineering Team Anomaly Management
Database and the Anomaly Management Report.

Angola Region Anomaly Management Procedure

Scoping Documents
Should additional work be required from a third party a Scoping Document shall be
prepared to define the work required and brief the contracted party on what is expected of
it.
As with Technical Documents, Scoping Documents should be controlled via VNET with an
official BP file name a record of which is to be referenced in the Engineering Team
Anomaly Management Database and the Anomaly Management report.

Offshore Work Packs

Should operational intervention outside of that specified in a PMR, such as an anomaly
which requires remediation or an adhoc inspection, an Offshore Work Pack (OWP) is to be
produced to specify the operational requirements. OWPs are to be approved by liaison and
agreement with the appropriate authority before issue.
On issue, an OWP must be given an official BP document number and stored on the VNET
file store. They are to be referenced in the Engineering Team Anomaly Management
Database and the Anomaly Management report.
OWPs shall state the formal risk assessment assignment scoring on their cover so as to
enable the prioritisation of the execution of their scopes of work.

5.2 Umbilicals, Risers, Flowlines (and Oil Offloading Lines for GtP) Team
URF anomalies are identified through the following routes:
 ROV Inspection
 Integrated Marine Monitoring System, IMMS (GtP only)
 Alerts System (PSVM only)
 Alarms System
 Topsides Inspection and Testing
 Pigging and In-line Inspection

ROV Surveys include but are not limited to visual inspection data available as video files
and screen grabs, cathodic protection measurements and positional scanning or recording.
The subsea contractor maintains a live Coabis database of all anomalies observed during
an inspection, including pipeline inspections. Each anomaly record shall as a minimum
contain sufficient information to define the extent and nature of the anomaly. Inspection of
anomalies observed in previous campaigns should be as consistent as reasonable
practicable with regards to the existing data to aid comparison over time.
The subsea contractor shall provide an inspection report as defined by the appropriate
inspection procedure. This should be issued on a timely basis and no later than 30 days
after the inspection.
The subsea contractor shall ensure that the offshore live database is included in the
company’s master Coabis database following any campaign of work.
As well as ROV surveys anomalies may be discovered through riser tower monitoring and
other systems. These anomalies will be added to the Coabis master database only if they
affect any subsea contractor work.
For GtP the upper of the two OOLs is instrumented to provide pipe stresses and
inclinations below the flex joint at the Calm Buoy end. The position of the GtP Calm Buoy,
both globally and with respect to the FPSO, is also continuously recorded. As for the GtP
RTMS both these systems are part of the overall GtP IMMS system.
GtP and PSVM have separate Alarm Systems that provide real time alarming in the FPSO
control rooms6. If any of these channels alarm the FPSO Subsea Supervisor will initiate an
appropriate level of response. Triggering of alarms and initial BP response fall outside the
Anomaly Management Process. However, spurious or false alarming can give rise to an
anomaly.

5.3 Subsea Hardware Team

Subsea Hardware anomalies are identified through the following routes:
 ROV Inspection
 FPSO Valve testing
 Punchlists from well handover
 Routine operational monitoring

ROV Surveys include but are not limited to visual inspection data available as video files
and screen grabs, cathodic protection measurements and positional scanning or recording.
The subsea contractor maintains a live Coabis database of all anomalies observed during
an inspection, including pipeline inspections. Each anomaly record shall as a minimum
contain sufficient information to define the extent and nature of the anomaly. Inspection of
anomalies observed in previous campaigns should be as consistent as reasonable

other systems. These anomalies will be added to the Coabis master database only if they
affect any subsea contractor work.
GtP and PSVM have separate Alarm Systems that provide real time alarming in the FPSO
control rooms6. If any of these channels alarm the FPSO Subsea Supervisor will initiate an
appropriate level of response. Triggering of alarms and initial BP response fall outside the
Anomaly Management Process. However, spurious or false alarming can give rise to an
anomaly.

5.4 Subsea Controls Team

Subsea control anomalies are identified through four main routes:
 ROV Surveys instigated by the Subsea Equipment or URFs teams
 Topsides visual inspections for which there are controls PMRs
 Control and monitoring Alarms System
 Subsea Operations Alerts System (PSVM only)

A live database of all anomalies is maintained. This contains anomalies observed during an
inspection, including topside and ROV equipment and pipeline inspections. The anomaly
record shall as a minimum contain sufficient information to define the extent and nature of
the anomaly. Inspection of anomalies observed in previous campaigns should be as
consistent as reasonable practicable with regards to the existing data to aid comparison
over time.
Anomalies identified via alarms and monitoring should also be included in the central
Subsea Controls Anomaly Database, stored on AngolaOne, as a single point of reference.

6 KPI Build
To effectively track the progress of an anomaly from detection to close out a series of
performance management indicators have been developed. These form a three tier
performance management system consisting of the following:
 Indicators (I)
These are small, low level items which, whilst on their own not impacting on the overall
health of the anomaly management system they are indicative of a failure and can
provide an important guide as to where a problem lies, should one be identified.
 Performance Indicators (PI)
These group together a series of Indicators. Whilst the PI can have its own definition
which must be met for it to be green it typically reflects the indicators it groups together. A
single red Indicator, however, does not necessarily affect the state of its PI; rather it
provides a guide. Should the PI not be met these may identify where the underlying
problem is.
 Key Performance Indicator (KPI)
The KPI is a weighted summary of the Performance Indicators. A single red PI may cause
the KPI to be red.

6.1 KPI build for ROV Identified Anomalies

Anomalies for the URFs and Subsea Hardware teams primarily comes from ROV
inspection of subsea structures and pipelines. Whilst the source of findings might vary all
anomalies data, once identified, pertaining to these two teams are evaluated using the
same methodology and performance tracking.
There are a series of 10 Indicators each of which may be red or green depending on
whether their criteria are met or not. These represent the 10 main actions in the process
flow as represented in the left hand box, Anomaly Management Procedure, in Error!
Reference source not found.. The Indicators are indicative but any number of red
Indicators will not directly cause their associated PI top be red.
The indicators are grouped in to five Primary Indicators which are related to the progress of
the anomaly through the management process. These are: Inspect, Analyse, Execute,
Report and Feedback. The Primary Indicators have been given an equal weighting. Should
any one PI be red the KPI will also be red.
The KPI is a single red/green outcome influenced solely by the 5 PI as a measure of the
health of the Anomaly Management System.

exclusively, come from a breach of the defined safe working boundaries defined by the
teams. Whilst the source of findings might vary anomalies data, once identified, pertaining
to these two areas is evaluated using the same methodology and performance tracking.
