ACTION PARTY

Include in PTW, and Tool Box Talk

Select and use proper PPE

The volume of gas vented monitored through Flare meters.

Do not exceed limits of volumes allowd to be vented and Stop venting at certain points of drilling sequence,
eg hammering, hole cleaning, etc…

ESD tests shall be carried out (platform and Flare)

Platform gas detectors and alarms are in place and triggered in case of excessive accumulation of gas on OIM
platform
Platform
Operator
Dedicated platform operator shall always be on the site to monitor flare carry out daily checks and notify in
case of any anomaly e.g. ignition loss
