Global Production Solutions Operations

3.0 Definitions
Valve Team: designated and specific individuals that must all agree prior to operating the well-head
master valve.
Valve Team Designee: a crew member who will be responsible for operating the wellhead and ground
manifold valves under the supervision of the ground supervisor.
PPE: Personal Protective Equipment
