This document has been drawn up to offer the reader a better understanding of Health,
Safety and Environmental (HSE) Management and includes a description of the drilling unit,
the different exposures in the workplace and an explanation of the methods used for
managing and improving Health, Safety and Environmental conditions for workers at KCA
Deutag Drilling Units.
It is KCA Deutag’s philosophy that has driven the development and implementation of our
HSE Management System and the tools to improve HSE. We are committed to the safety
and welfare of our personnel and, therefore, fully support the philosophy behind this HSE
Case. The document is endorsed by KCA Deutag management and all parties associated
with its compilation, review and validation. The document has become an integral part of
KCA Deutag's documentation. We acknowledge the fact that the HSE Case will play an
important role in the process of continuous improvement of the installation and the control of
the associated risks. This process will be beneficial to the work on site and, as a result, to the
company itself.
For this HSE Case we used the IADC 'HSE Case Guidelines for Land Drilling Contractors”,
Issue 1.0.1, 27 July 2009. (Appendix 99.00.01, IADC HSE Case Guidelines) These
guidelines ensure that the content and level of detail comply with all the European countries’
regulations and will also be accepted by all these countries. In 2017/2018 this case is
updated in regard to changes of legal requirements detailed in Dutch Mijnbouwwet Article 45,
Nogepa Industry Standard No. 83 RIGG (Report on Major Hazards for production
installations), NOGEPA Industry Standard No. 48 - Independent Verification Management
and NOGEPA Industry Standard No. 49 - Independent SECE Verification Execution.
The HSE Case is an exercise and report in which KCA Deutag demonstrates that, to our best
knowledge, all hazards were identified and the risks to Health, Safety and Environment
associated with the various aspects of its activities fall within accepted limits of tolerability
and all measures are taken to reduce risk to a level as low as reasonably practical (ALARP).
The HSE Case also serves as a basis for the regulation of major hazard activities and has to
be accepted by the authorities to allow the continuity of the operations.
This HSE Case demonstrates how and where the contributors of the risks are and how KCA
Deutag is controlling these risks. Additional measures are recommended and implemented to
have a further risk reduction. It is concluded that the risks assessed (determined by all the
analyses executed) is on a very low and acceptable level. In Part 1 (Introduction), a more
detailed summary of the work carried out in preparing this document can be found. This HSE
Case will play a key role in the further improvement of the working conditions.
The senior management of KCA Deutag is committed to the content of this HSE Case and
supports, without limitation, the implementation and maintenance of the measures and
standards of the HSE Case.
_____________________
TABLE of CONTENTS
PART 1
KCA Deutag recognized that in order to achieve a step-change improvement in safety and
operational performance, it would have to formalize their long term experience and work
practices within a structured framework represented by a management system.
The development of an effective management system was to ensure appropriate risk
management efforts would be consistently applied by people at the worksite to manage
Major and Other Workplace Hazards to ensure safe and reliable operations. In order to
further improve the efficiency and effectiveness of business results, KCA Deutag integrated
the management of HSE risks into their (general) business activities.
- To demonstrate internal assurance within the KCA Deutag organisation that its
management system’s risk reducing controls related to the Health, Safety and
Environment aspects of its operations, meets its senior management’s expectations.
- To demonstrate, where applicable, to other interested / concerned parties, that the risk
reducing controls in KCA Deutag’s management system meet their expectations too.
The HSE Case demonstrates how KCA Deutag’s organisation applies a systematic risk
management approach to maintain and improve HSE and operational performance.
Developing and maintaining an HSE Case provides continuous assurance that existing HSE
risks are effectively managed and provides assurance that risks associated with changes to
equipment, activities or locations, as well as systemic weaknesses identified by incident
analyses and audits will be effectively managed.
While this HSE Case firstly addresses internal assurance for KCA Deutag, it also includes
assurances that may be expected by others. These HSE Case expectations include
arrangements which may be required to provide assurance that the HSE risks associated
with KCA Deutag’s operations are reduced to a certain level of tolerability.
By having this competed HSE Case, KCA Deutag's Senior Management demonstrates that
there is:
Based on the HSE Case and the HSE performance over the past years, the following
conclusions can be made:
- There is an effective management system in place for managing all hazards and
environmental aspects.
- All potential hazards have been identified.
- All risks associated with these hazards have been assessed and established to be As
Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP).
- Relevant regulatory requirements are being complied with.
- The risk assessment of workplace-related activities has not identified unacceptable
hazards.
The major hazards do not exceed the defined acceptance criteria. The measures for the
reduction of hazards are carried out to an acceptable level according to the ALARP principle.
Contact Details
KCA Deutag has a history of over 125 years of drilling and engineering activities across the
globe, and undertakes projects in some of the most harsh and demanding environments in
the world.
KCA Deutag Drilling GmbH is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Abbot Group. In March 2008,
Abbot Group plc was acquired by First Reserve Corporation, a US-based private equity firm.
As a consequence, Abbot Group plc was re-registered as a private company and changed its
name to Abbot Group Limited.
First Reserve is the largest, most experienced energy industry focused private equity
company in the world. The company is committed to investing in KCA Deutag and its sister
company, Bentec GmbH Drilling & Oilfield Systems (Bentec), an international drilling and
oilfield systems company with expertise in onshore drilling rig design and assembly, also
offering a world class engineering and repair service, drilling equipment systems
manufacture and services.
KCA Deutag’s headquarters are in Aberdeen (UK) and a main office in Bad Bentheim
(Germany) where the central technical support function for KCA Deutag global Land
Business Unit and the administration and support for the rigs of Europe are located, also
including the Bentec headquarters.
Services
KCA Deutag manages drilling and workover contracting services, including the provision of
equipment, maintenance, well engineering, engineering design and management of
construction activities, mud engineering and gas protection. KCA Deutag is one of the few
contractors with its own facilities and engineering services group, RDS, which has a
workforce of 500 with a track record spanning 30 years, making it one of the leading
providers of Greenfield and Brownfield rig design engineering for platforms and mobile units.
KCA Deutag currently owns a fleet of more than 60 land drilling and workover rigs.
The ‘Core Values’ define ‘the KCA Deutag Way’ and are underpinned by policies, standards
and procedures. They help guide the business approach and culture, and their personnel in
working safely, effectively and ethically across our operations:
- Health and Safety.
- Valuing All People.
- Performance Improvement.
- Environmental Stewardship.
- Business Integrity.
- Sustainable Growth
This HSE Case is established under the exclusive responsibility of KCA Deutag's
Management.
The European Country Manager of KCA Deutag has the overall ownership and responsibility
for the HSE Case and is responsible for the establishment, updating and periodically
reviewing the HSE Case.
The Rig Manager, with the assistance of the HSEQT department of KCA Deutag, is
responsible for ensuring that the HSE Case is implemented and complied with.
The HSE Case is also intended for the workforce and therefore it is important to involve them
during the compilation process while realising at the same moment that it is not practical to
prepare a HSE Case with the entire organisation. KCA Deutag has therefore taken the
following approach:
- The HSEQT department in Bad Bentheim (Germany) carried out most of the work
related to the writing and coordination of the document.
- Presentations on the revised HSE Case and / or Safety and Health Document were
initiated with the participation of all operation managers.
- Operational personnel review all sections of the HSE Case and / or Safety and Health
Document under the supervision of the Operations Manager.
- A HSE Consultant has assisted the setup of the first HSE Case in 2011.
This HSE Case is a living document. This implies that regular revisions and/or modifications
are required to include all important changes in HSE procedures and environmental
protection, and when unforeseen hazards are recognized. By means of risk-reducing
measures a continuous improvement is realized and additional measures will be carried out
when necessary.
At least every five years or earlier (for example when modifications or changes are made on
the drilling unit), an updated version of the HSE Case will be made. This will not only
guarantee that any technical modifications made at the drill site will be recorded immediately,
but also that any recommendations made by the crew will be taken into consideration.
Other criteria which would initiate a review of the HSE Case are the following:
- Changes in drilling unit operation or equipment, which significantly changes the overall
risk levels.
- Changes in ownership or significant changes to the manning levels or the
organizational structure.
- Significant changes to the HSE Management System.
- Developments in risk assessment methodology or lessons learnt from an accident or
incident that brings the results of existing risk assessments into question.
- A number of smaller changes which collectively merit a review of the HSE Case.
- Changes in legislation / regulatory requirements.
- Significant changes to company or industry standards and / or procedures referred to in
the HSE Case.

2.0.0.1. INTRODUCTION
One of the primary purposes of the HSE Case is to demonstrate that KCAD Deutag has
implemented arrangements for managing health, safety and the environment.
Performance Monitoring
KCA Deutag's arrangements for monitoring by supervisors and other line management to
ensure that plans and operations are being implemented as intended and for measuring
performance (periodic monitoring; incident reporting and analysis, behaviour-based
observation, etc.). Assessing the overall effectiveness of the HSE Management through audit
and reviewing performance against the objectives. Verify the effectiveness of HSE critical
Activities / Tasks and Equipment / Systems.
Basis of the KCA Deutag Health, Safety and Environmental Management System is the
Business Management System (BMS). The Rig Manual forms an integrated part of the BMS.
This Rig Manual is present and implemented on all rigs. The Rig Manual consists of the
following manuals:
- Rig Crew Work Instructions (WI)
- Betriebsanweisungen i.e. German Operating Instructions (OI)
- BGRCI Präventionsvorschriften i.e. Accident Prevention Regulations (PV)
- Emergency Instructions Manual
- Drilling Data Handbook
- IADC Drilling Manual
- Transport Manual
- HSE Instruction Manual
- Maintenance Manual
- Worldwide Standards (WS)
Important documents for the management of Safety during daily activities on the rig are:
The 16 KCA Deutag world-wide HSE standards, the Rig Crew Work Instructions, the
Operating Instructions, the Accident Prevention Regulations of the German professional
association and the HSE Manual. These manuals are directly related the safe execution of
the job.
KCA Deutag world-wide HSE standards are based on the company HSE policies and HSE
management guide, and are the minimum expectations for health, safety and environmental
protection.
The Rig Crew Work Instructions describes the method and how to perform work safely on the
rigs. The safety instructions have to be strictly obeyed, every employee has to be familiar
with this manual.
The Emergency Instructions Manual will be on location together with the Fire Fighting and
Rescue Plan. These documents will be available in the rig offices. The Fire Fighting and
Rescue Plan will also be available in the recreation room and Company Representative’s
(Company Man’s) office. The Fire Fighting and Rescue Plan will be explained to the crews
on location at the beginning of the operation and in the HSE meetings. Fire and emergency
drills will be conducted at a regular basis and reviewed immediately after the drill. Records of
Part 2 KCADeutag HSE Case T-700 v.1.3 page 5 of 42
Health, Safety and Environmental Case T-700
the drills are kept on file at the location. Every individual new to the location will be informed
about his individual responsibility and actions in case of a calamity. The security guard or
one of the company staff personnel will give the instructions.
In the context of Health, Safety and Environment the HSE Instructions Manual is significant.
This manual not only describes safety relevant instructions like fire prevention and signs at
the rig, but also the communication structure is laid down, i.e. the Accident Matrix, the Permit
to Work System and the prescribed Personal Protective Equipment.
Objective of the SET (Safe, Effective and Trouble-free operations) system is to eliminate
injuries by avoiding unsafe acts at the workplace. According to SET all injuries and
occupational sicknesses can be prevented. Therefore, the line management from Managing
Director to first line supervisor has to accept the responsibility and be committed for a safe
working environment. Through SET all employees are trained to observe in their work area,
to analyse jobs, to discuss safety at work and unsafe acts and conditions in order to
eliminate and correct. With the SET card everybody can put his observations on paper, as
learning tool for himself. The SET cards are not meant as „yellow or red card“– not punitive -,
but as an instrument to improve the safety standard and also to recognize and report positive
observations.
The Toolbox Talk has to be performed with the crew members (daily) prior to starting the
shift and prior to conduct non – routine activities as a pre job meeting. The Toolbox Talk is
documented on a TRIC (Toolbox Risk Identification Card). The Driller will hold this meeting;
the Toolpusher input is highly appreciated. During this short meeting the crew will discuss
about the hazards and together with the precautions how to eliminate the involved risks. To
ensure this discussion is done in a structured, efficient and all-embracing way the KCA
Deutag TRIC cards are used. The approach is to: defining single work steps, in order to
identify actual and potential hazards and to eliminate or mitigate the residual risk for all
involved parties to an acceptable minimum that can occur for a certain kind of activity.
Pre-shift and hand-over meetings are held on a daily basis, i.e. Pre-shift meetings between
Toolpusher and Drillers and handover meetings between Toolpushers and Drillers (handover
meetings are recorded).
KCA Deutag places a high level of importance in conducting Active Monitoring to the highest
standard by our Senior Supervisors in the belief that as one of our “5 To Keep Alive”
procedures, we are guarding against injury to personnel, equipment damage and harm to the
environment. In addition, we are “self-verifying” that key parts of our management system
are being implemented correctly across work activities in our operations
Active Monitoring has three distinct phases all of which needs to be carried out. These
phases are as follows:
I. Task Observation
II. Face to Face Conversation
III. Reaching Agreement
Part 2 KCADeutag HSE Case T-700 v.1.3 page 6 of 42
Health, Safety and Environmental Case T-700
Weekly HSE Meetings are conducted at the rig. The objectives of these meetings are to
improve the communication on the rig and also between the rig and the office staff. Topics of
these meetings are: actual HSE matters (Safety Alerts), Incidents/Events and also training
e.g. OI and HSE matters. The HSE meetings will hold with the morning shift and the night
shift. Participants are the crewmembers and 3rd party personnel; the Toolpusher and/or the
Drilling Superintendents are the chairmen. Due to the weekly intervals it is ensured that the
complete crew will be participating twice in the 4-week-schedule. The weekly HSE meetings
will be recorded and the participants have to sign the record.
Safety Alerts & Lessons Learned are tools to inform the crews of all rigs about substandard
safety occurred company - or worldwide. Actions are mentioned to avoid re-occurrence of an
event. The actual Safety Alerts & Lessons Learned are published on the recreation room‘s
black board and will be a topic during the weekly HSE meeting.
The HSEQT department collects and disseminates safety alerts with other business units or
external institutions.
Quarterly HSE Committee Meeting is conducted at the rigs. Members of this committee are
the Drilling Superintendent or the Operation Manager, the HSE Engineer the Toolpusher and
the Safety Representative of the rig. The Client’s Representative is invited to participate
during this meeting. Part of the meeting is to conduct an audit. This meeting can be
combined with a crew meeting afterwards. To have the Safety Representative as a
committee member it is ensured that the crew‘s interests are dealt with. Due to the regular
schedule and the follow-up of the actions lay down in the minutes of meetings it is ensured
that safety relevant items are corrected. The HSE Engineer is the secretary of this committee
and the operation management receives a copy of the report
The Quarterly Management HSE Committee Meeting is conducted in the main office.
Participants are the Managing Director, the Company Doctor, the Worker‘s Council, the
HSEQT Manager and two Safety Representatives. Additional experts for specific topics can
be invited. Objective of this committee is to analyse and evaluate hazards and risks in
conjunction with work processes and to implement corrective actions as a result.
The Improvement/Suggestion System has a special rating in KCA Deutag. Being part of the
BMS it is integrated in the process of continuous improvement. With the Improvement/
Suggestion System every employee has the possibility to improve HSE and QA matters, but
also to improve economic issues. This can be done next to the employee’s daily
responsibilities on a voluntary basis.
2.1.1.0. Policies
Statement of policy
The objective of the company is to achieve a risk level as low as is reasonably practicable
(ALARP) concerning health protection, safety at work and environmental protection.
Hence, the health of own employees, 3rd parties, and KCA Deutag’s customers as well as
environmental requirements and the avoidance of damages to property will always receive
the highest priority.
The realisation of these objectives is an obligation of KCA Deutag’s supervisory personnel.
Furthermore, all KCA Deutag employees and (sub-) contractors are required to take these
targets into account during their daily work.
The general management considers the duty of supervision during the execution of all
necessary HSE measures as an essential function. Consequently KCA Deutag is committed
to:
- Consider and acknowledge the safety at work as a constant responsibility and
permanent element of daily activity.
- Set health, safety and environmental protection and commercial success as company
objectives of equal priority. Every employee is obliged to stop or terminate activities, if
the work cannot be performed in a safe, healthy and environmentally compatible
manner.
- Implement HSE measures which have been recognized as necessary and which
extend above and beyond legal requirements or official obligations.
- Investigate new or modified equipment and working procedures with regard to potential
HSE risks.
- Review the performance of the annually set HSE objectives and report the results thus
achieved.
- Promote the environmental and safety awareness of all employees.
- Avoid negative impact to the environment by prudent planning and to use energy and
materials economically.
- Provide a permanent occupational medical service for all employees and to employ
personnel in correspondence with their abilities.
- Provide instructions regularly and to perform controls.
Refer to Appendix 99.01.02, document K-CW-GR-PO-008 for the Health and Safety Policy
Statement, Appendix 99.01.03, document K-CW-GR-PO-001 for the Environmental Policy
Statement and to Appendix 99.01.04, document K-CW-GR-PO-007 for the Business
Excellence Policy Statement.
The performance of these measures is mandatory for all employees and is specified in the
Business Management System (BMS), that includes the Health, Safety and Environmental
Management System (HSE MS), as well as in the internal rules and operating instructions.
In order to achieve and maintain the best possible HSE results, all employees are urged to
cooperate in the efforts for continuous improvement.
2.1.2.0. Objectives
Based on the objectives established by KCA Deutag Senior Management, the KCA Deutag
Annual Corporate HSE Plan, Annual Regional HSE Plan and Annual Rig HSE Plan are
established. Based on these plans an Annual Regional HSE Action plan is derived. These
HSE plans are approved by the general management.
This HSE plans contain defined targets and measures, in which all areas of operation are
associated. The measures contain standards relevant to performance indicators, areas of
responsibilities, and scheduled time periods.
At the beginning of each year the HSE Plans are communicated to all employees by their
respective manager / supervisor assuring that every employee becomes familiar with the
defined targets.
2.2.1.0. Organisation
2.2.1.1. Organisation
HSE is a line responsibility and an essential part of the duties of managers and supervisors.
Also, advisory (staff) functions play an important role in the execution of the HSE
management function. Main duties, areas of authority and responsibilities with regard to HSE
at various levels in the KCA Deutag organisation, including those of contractors, are as
follows:
Senior Management
The Senior Management (refer to Appendix 99.02.08, document K-CW-GR-OC-003 for
relevant organizational charts) of KCA Deutag and the department heads are ultimately
responsible for ensuring compliance with KCA Deutag ’s HSE policy and the applicable
legislation, and will use the management structure to ensure that the appropriate procedures
and arrangements, including provisions for monitoring and review, are established and
maintained.
Staff
All personnel, irrespective of their position, must ensure compliance with all health, safety
and environmental requirements, codes of practice and other issues affecting HSE.
Main duties, areas of authority and responsibilities are to:
- Comply with rules, procedures and instructions, and with applicable legislation.
- Report deviations, unacceptable risks and deficiencies
- Suspend activities when there is a potential or actual threat to human life, the
installation or the environment.
HSEQT Department
The HSEQT Department (refer to Appendix 99.02.12 for relevant organizational chart) has
an advisory and monitoring function. The head of the HSEQT department reports directly to
the Country Manager on all HSE and Quality Assurance (QA) issues.
Sub-contractors
Whenever a service is provided by a subcontractor, he / she will be properly integrated into
the process / project organisation, and the scope of work to be done is governed by a written
contract. If subcontractors perform work that falls outside KCA Deutag’s area of competence,
such relationships shall be based upon mutual trust, dedication to common goals and an
understanding of each other’s individual expectations. If deemed necessary a joint bridging
document will be developed, with the involvement of all participants before starting
operations, clearly indicating Senior Management expectations regarding adherence to
agreed responsibilities.
The latest revision date of the organisational charts indicates a regular management review
of the organisational structure.
The objective of this chapter is to demonstrate that relevant, correct and up to date HSE
documentation is readily accessible.
All documents which are relevant to the proper functioning of HSE management system are
to be prepared, revised and provided with a revision status. The purpose of the revision is to
ensure that the requirements associated with the customer specifications, legal regulations,
standards and catalogues of rules and regulations, etc. have been correctly and completely
taken into account during preparation. Updates and amendments are to be included in the
same manner.
All HSE-records which serve as a proof of meeting the HSE requirements will be
appropriately filed. All employees are responsible for the correctness of the HSE relevant
documents and data which are applicable to their working area.
The active participation of every employee is required to obtain the best results in safety and
protection of the environment. Continuous improvement of HSE issues will be supported by
the management in close cooperation with the works council.
SET-card System
The SET-card system enables the employee to correct and report unsafe acts additional also
unsafe conditions as well as positive obse1
rvations. The implementation of the Unsafe Act reporting system is based on the fact that
about 90% of accidents are caused by human failure. SET-cards are available to all
employees to communicate their observations.
Job Safety Analysis (JSA) and Toolbox Risk Identification Card (TRIC)
A JSA is carried out by the workforce, including 3rd party employees, prior to unusual and
hazardous operations. The sequence of operations and the hazards of each activity involved
are discussed. Required actions and equipment to improve safe operations need to be
implemented.
Details of these systems can be found in other chapters of this HSE Case.
The rig manager is responsible for the operations of the KCA Deutag operational units.
He is supported by service and support staff (including maintenance and the HSEQT
department. The rig manager reports to the operations manager.
Duties and areas of responsibility of rig management and supervisory personnel are listed in
chapter 2.2.2.2 of this HSE Case.
Rig management and crew members, as shown in Appendix 99.02.13 (operational hierarchy)
will ensure, that drilling operations executed with the drilling unit are in accordance to the
quality management system, the HSE management system, the corresponding specifications
and the drilling manual. A simple representation of the rig site organisation is given in
Appendix 99.02.19.

2.2.3.0. Resources
To provide management, at each organisational level, with specialist advice on HSE matters,
on Corporate, departmental and drilling unit management level, KCA Deutag staff is qualified
according to acknowledged training and experience levels.
When employees on the rig have concerns about health, safety or environment, and they do
not want to share this with direct operations management, they are encouraged to contact
the HSEQT Dept. The HSE organization can be found in Appendix 99.02.12.
2.2.3.3. Support
The HSEQT Department (refer to Appendix 99.02.12 for relevant organizational chart) has
an advisory and monitoring function. The head of the HSEQT department reports directly to
the General Manager on all HSE and Quality Assurance (QA) issues.
2.2.3.4. Clients
The activities and equipment of the client (operator) are not considered in the HSE Case.
Such interfaces are taken into account in a Bridging Document (between the operator and
KCA Deutag) or a site specific HSE Case.
In case of simultaneous activities carried out on the location a concurrent operations plan, in
which the hazards are assessed, is issued by the client (operator). The client’s
representative is responsible of all operations on the location.
Interface arrangements and revisions are fixed and monitored in the Bridging Document(s).
Third party operations and equipment are discussed and assessed in pre-operations
meetings. The results are considered in the action plan issued by the client’s representative.
Whenever a service is provided by a sub-contractor (to KCA Deutag or the client), he/she will
be properly integrated into the process/project organisation, and the scope of work to be
done is governed by a written contract. If sub-contractors perform work that falls outside KCA
Deutag’s area of competence, such relationships shall be based upon mutual trust,
dedication to common goals and an understanding of each other’s individual expectations.
The disposal of food wastes and scraps complies with the local waste management system
and rules and regulations.
2.2.4.0. Competence
For management and supervisory positions, only personnel will be appointed who have
displayed reliability, authority in the execution of their duties, trustworthiness, competence
and who possess the required physical suitability, (§59, Section 1, BBergG).
In accordance with § 58 of the German Mining Law, the appointed supervisory personnel
must receive a written job description.
Toolpusher
KCA Deutag applies the same selection criteria for contracted and 3rd party staff fulfilling
critical HSE positions as for own personnel.
KCA Deutag has established and implemented a Personnel Appraisal scheme, so that the
personnel awareness of the relevance and importance of their activities and how they
contribute to the achievement of the quality objectives are measured and monitored.
Personal KPIs are cascaded from the Countries and Functions specific KPIs down to each
individual person, reflecting the way KCAD employees contribute the achievement of the
Company’s targets
Management and supervisory personnel are appraised on a regulate basis (minimum every
year). The appraisal system considers knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes to adequate
HSE standards.
The results of this performance analysis are documented and considered in respect of any
future responsibility and possible promotions.
2.2.4.4. Training
Regular extensive training is established to improve the qualification and knowledge of all
operating engineers and supervisors. The training program will include legal aspects, SCC**
prescribed training and training associated with potentially dangerous activities as well as
general HSE awareness training.
The training program and required intervals are described in Appendix 99.02.24, Appendix
99.02.25 refers to the KCAD Europe Training Matrix.
KCA Deutag ensures that all new employees, trainees, agency workers and contracted
personnel will receive valid and relevant instructions for each job assignment and special
instructions relevant to the specific workplace dangers and the required protection measures.
Every new employee joining KCA Deutag receives instructions and directives relevant to:
- HSE fundamental rules and annual HSE programs
- Hazardous materials instructions
- Fire protection instructions
- Personal protective equipment
- Introduction and guidance to the writing of accident reports
- Gas protection instructions (if required)
- Forklift instructions (if required)
- Banksman: safe lifting and slinging (if required)
This training program and introduction (including a tour of the premises) will be provided
either by the relevant manager of the operational unit or the HSEQT Department. All courses
and instructions are recorded.
Training details are described in HSE WI Newcomer Induction Appendix 99.02.31
The training program and required intervals are described in Appendix 99.02.24 “Recording
and Reporting of Training Standard. Appendix 99.02.26, document K-CW-HS-ST-012
describes the employee induction standard and the presentation in Appendix 99.02.28 HSE
induction T-700.
The hazard analysis / risk assessment was conducted with the experience of the personnel
and based on the available historical data. Also a quantification of the risks was conducted.
Additional to the risks involved while working on the rig, the crew is also exposed to external
risks.
KCA Deutag used a quantified risk assessment to identify its main operational hazards in a
Generic Land Rig HSE Case Hazard and Effects Register. However KCA Deutag does not
make use of a fully quantified risk assessment (QRA) to justify its hazard scenarios for the
country / rig based HSE cases. Quantification in these is mainly used for comparison of
alternative design/mitigation options or to assist in determining on ALARP argument for the
high and medium risk scenarios. Refer to Part 4 for details on Risk Management.
Arrangements to ensure task plans with risk assessments are developed as follows. A major
number of risks to the crew is related to the drilling activities. To assess these risks, a hazard
analysis was performed, mapping the activities at the rig. In the next step these hazards to
the crew were identified and evaluated. During this process already existing documentation
was consulted and the hazard catalogue of the German BG for the oil -/and gas industry was
modified. To assess a risk, the probability (likelihood / frequency) for a personal injury during
an activity was estimated. This, combined with an estimate of the severity, gives the risk
value. Using the Risk Matrix the risk factor for a certain activity can easily be calculated. In
the Hazard Sheets are the potential and the probability of the hazard listed, to determine the
risk factor for the different activities. These hazard sheets also describe the precautionary
procedures. The objective is to familiarise the crews with these hazard sheets and the
precautionary procedures.
Appointed supervisors control all operations performed with the T-700. For different
operations, different supervisors can be appointed and do have the complete responsibility
for all activities.
The method of processing changes within the organisation and changes of procedures are
regulated in Business Excellence MOC Standard Appendix 99.02.30, and Management of
Change Procedure Appendix 99.02.32.
KCA Deutag has Emergency Response Manuals for the Rigs and for the Office (refer to
Appendix 99.02.42) and Appendix 99.02.42a which has the main purpose to define a course
of action. Minimum requirement in regard to ER are defined in the HSE Standard document
K-CW-HS-ST-004 Emergency Response. Refer Appendix 99.05.02 to respond to emergency
situations that may turn into disasters if the magnitude of the situation changes. Further it is
to provide the guidance and operational procedures required to eliminate or reduce the
potential harm to personnel, equipment and environment at the rig site from the effects of
natural or man-made disasters and to limit the interruption of the drilling process.
The manual can be used as an Emergency Response Plan (template) on local basis when
required (local emergency numbers will then be included), and as guideline for the
Emergency Response Team working from the Emergency Response Centre in the KCA
Deutag premises in Bad Bentheim Germany.
Although the Toolpusher (or his deputy) is designated as the person in charge, he will act in
close cooperation with the client representative as well as the commander(s) of local
emergency services present at the well site.
The Country Manager will liaise with the Operating Company “in town” and with the local
authorities and he will keep an effective communication with the Toolpusher for the duration
of the emergency situation.
The Permit to Work system (PTW System) ensures a systematic and reliable procedure for
all dangerous operations.
Permits to Work are valid only for a respective job, a location and for a certain period. After
this period, the work has to be interrupted until a new permission is issued. All permissions
will become invalid at the end of the shift. No permission will be issued over the change of
the shift.
Permits to Work are required for (details can be found in Appendix 99.02.33 K-CW-HS-ST-
011):
- Welding and hot work or any other works where there is a risk of fire or explosion
- Working in mud tanks and confined spaces
- Pressure tests > 1000 psi
- Repair of HSE equipment
- Working at heights
- Scaffolding
- Bridging of safety devices
- Loading and unloading of oil-based mud
- Circulation tests
- For all activities where the Toolpusher decides a PTW is necessary.
The KCA Deutag standard for the Permit to Work system is given in Appendix 99.02.33;
document K-CW-HS-ST-011. The Permit to Work and related systems are described in
Appendix 99.02.34, document K-EU-HS-WI-003 and Appendix 99.02.35, a summary of all
PTW related documents.
The Permit to Work forms are filed in the Toolpusher office. The Permit to Work system is
checked within the scope of safety inspections by the management.
All employees have attended the safety training VVA-1, as part of the SCC** certificate, the
supervisory personnel in addition the VVA-2 course.
All employees are trained in the Permit to Work system during the regular HSE instructions
as per annual training plan.
A regular review on the Permit to Work procedures will be carried out to establish if the
current PTW system meets the requirements and industry standards.
Details that demonstrate that HSE issues associated with tasks, activities and working areas
are being effectively managed can be found in chapter 4.7.0.0.
As part of the general (drilling activities) project plan KCA Deutag will liaise with the client
(operator) for identifying the nature and sensitivities of the location specific receiving
Part 2 KCADeutag HSE Case T-700 v.1.3 page 24 of 42
Health, Safety and Environmental Case T-700
environment, establishing location specific significant adverse impact criteria reviewing the
well specific aspects against the established criteria. The site / well specific HSE Case will be
prepared by the client (operator).
The uncontrolled leakage of fluids or chemicals from the storage capacities of the unit can
result in serious consequences for persons, environment and equipment. To avoid leakage,
i.e. neutralise and minimise, the following precautions have been implemented:
- Fuel tanks are equipped with double walls and a leakage warning device.
- An emergency shut off valve is installed at the outside of the fuel tanks.
- Fuel tanks are identified with signs according to the international regulations.
- The storage of chemicals is according to legislation.
- For all hazardous substances, instructions are available.
- All tanks are periodically inspected.
These instructions are based upon the relevant Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and ensure safe
and correct handling of the chemicals. (Refer to Appendix 99.02.38 for a list of hazardous
substances). This list includes amongst others, name and classification as well as reference
to the H & P statements, Hazard and Precautionary statements. These are a set of
standardized phrases about the hazards of chemical substances.
Regularly the crew will be trained in the use of hazardous substances and the necessary
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
In case of a leakage the Emergency Instructions Manual is applicable. The manual explains
who is responsible for the measures to be taken, which measures to be taken to neutralise or
minimise and which actions to be followed up.
Waste materials are defined as all substances which can no longer be used for any practical
purpose on the drilling unit and which are collected (by KCA Deutag) and transported from
the site for further processing (client / operator responsibility). These wastes include used
drilling fluids, cuttings, absorbent, filters, lubricants, emulsions, metals and other solvents.
All waste materials are collected in approved containers provided for the special purpose on
the operational unit and discarded in conformance with the applicable regulations. The waste
materials are collected separately in the following containers labelled with waste code
numbers:
- Container for oil contaminated materials, such as filters, etc.
- Container for waste oil
- Container for oil-water mixtures
- Container for scrap metal
- Container for garbage, paper, cardboard and plastic
- Container for solvents.
The containers are placed at appropriate locations as specified in the location plan or in
agreement with the company management. Dependent on the location, Bridging Document
will detail the waste management plan for the well site.
Details of the KCA Deutag's occupational health policy can be found in Appendix 99.01.02,
document K-CW-GR-PO-008. Objectives are given in the HSE Standard K-CW-HS-ST-
015_Occupational Health Assessments Appendix 99.02.40 and HSE WI Appendix 99.02.39,
document K-EU-HS-WI-013, which also gives details of the occupational health controls in
the workplace.
Details of the arrangements for maintaining and applying Material Safety Data Sheets are
given in Appendix 99.02.38, the list of Hazardous Substances for the drilling unit, which
includes international instructions for the associated risks.
Basis of the KCA Deutag Safety Management Systems is the Business Management System
(BMS). The Rig Manual forms an integrated part of the BMS. This Rig Manual is present and
implemented on all rigs and available online and / or in an electronic version. The Rig Manual
consists of the following manuals:
- Rig Crew Work Instructions (WI)
- Betriebs- und Dienstanweisungen i.e. German Operating Instructions (OI)
- BGRCI Präventionsvorschriften i.e. Accident Prevention Regulations (PV)
- Emergency Instructions Manual
- Drilling Data Handbook
- IADC Drilling Manual
- Transport Manual
- HSE Instruction Manual
- Maintenance Manual
- Worldwide Standards (ST).
Important documents for the management of HSE during daily activities on the rig are:
The 16 KCA Deutag worldwide HSE standards, the Rig Crew Work Instructions, the
Operating Instructions, the Accident Prevention Regulations of the German professional
association and the HSE Manual. These manuals are directly related the safe execution of
the job.
KCA Deutag world-wide HSE standards are based on the company HSE policies and HSE
management guide, and are the minimum expectations for health, safety and environmental
protection.
The Rig Crew Work Instructions describes the method and how to perform work safely on the
rigs. The safety instructions have to be strictly obeyed, every employee has to be familiar
with this manual.
Up to now 23 safety trainings are incorporated into the system. UWEB2000 is a basic
training tool for all annual trainings as well as other training like the use of the SET system
and prohibition of alcohol and drugs and the approach to make employees aware to misuse
of alcohol and drugs.
The Emergency Instructions Manual will be on location together with the Fire Fighting and
Rescue Plan. These documents will be available in the rig offices. The Fire Fighting and
Rescue Plan will also be available in the recreation room and Company man’s office. The
Fire Fighting and Rescue Plan will be explained to the crews on location at the beginning of
the operation and in the HSE meetings. Fire and emergency drills will be conducted at a
regular base and reviewed immediately after the drill. Every individual new to the location will
be informed about his individual responsibility and actions in case of a calamity. The porter or
one of the company staff personnel will give the instructions.
In the context Health, Safety and Environment the HSE Instructions Manual is significant.
This manual not only describes safety relevant instructions like fire prevention and signs at
the rig, but also the communication structure is laid down, i.e. the Accident Matrix, the Permit
to Work System and the prescribed Personal Protective Equipment.
The method of processing document changes within the organisation and changes of
procedures (developing, maintaining, implementing and reviewing written procedures).are
regulated by Appendix 99.02.01; document K-CW-BE-PR-006 on document control.
KCA Deutag has a suitable meeting structure for communicating HSE information throughout
the organization this is based on HSE Standard K-CW-HS-ST-009_HSE Meetings Appendix
99.02.27
Refer to Appendix 99.02.27a; document K-EU-HS-WI-005 for details on the HSE Meetings.
The Tool Box Talk has to be performed with the crewmembers daily prior to starting the shift
or prior to conduct non – routine activities as a pre job meeting. The Driller will hold this
meeting; the Toolpusher's input is highly appreciated. During this short meeting the crew has
to be informed about the hazards and together with them precautions to eliminate the
involved risks are developed. To ensure all relevant risks are taken into account, the KCA
Deutag TRIC cards are used. The approach is to: defining single work steps, in order to
identify actual and potential hazards and to eliminate or mitigate the residual risk for all
involved parties to an acceptable minimum that can occur for a certain kind of activity.
Pre-shift and Hand-over Meetings are held on a daily basis, i.e. pre-shift meetings between
Toolpusher and Drillers, handover meetings between Drillers. These meeting are recorded.
Weekly HSE Meetings are conducted at the unit. The objectives of these meetings are to
improve the communication on the rig and also between the rig and the office staff. Topics of
Part 2 KCADeutag HSE Case T-700 v.1.3 page 27 of 42
Health, Safety and Environmental Case T-700
these meetings are: actual HSE matters (Safety Alerts), Incidents/Events and also training
e.g. OI and HSE matters. The HSE meetings will hold with the morning shift and the night
shift. Participants are the crewmembers; the Toolpusher and/or the Drilling Superintendent
are the chairman. Due to the weekly intervals it is ensured that the complete crew will be
participating twice in the 4-week-schedule. The weekly HSE meetings will be recorded and
the participants have to sign the record.
Quarterly HSE Committee Meetings are conducted at the rigs. Members of this committee
are the Drilling Superintendent or the Operation Manager, the HSE Engineer the Toolpusher
and the Safety Representative of the rig. The client’s representative is invited to participate
during this meeting. Part of the meeting is to conduct an audit. This meeting can be
combined with a crew meeting afterwards. To have the Safety Representative as a
committee member it is ensured that the crew‘s interests are dealt with. Due to the regular
schedule and the follow-up of the actions lay down in the minutes of meetings it is ensured
that safety relevant items are corrected. The HSE Engineer is the secretary of this committee
and the operation management receives a copy of the report
The Quarterly Management HSE Committee Meeting is conducted in the main office.
Participants are the Managing Director, the company doctor, the Worker‘s Council, the
HSEQT Manager and two Safety Representatives. Additional experts for specific topics can
be invited. Objective of this committee is to analyse and evaluate hazards and risks in
conjunction with work processes and to implement corrective actions as a result.
Safety Alerts and Lessons Learned Reports are tools to inform the crews of all rigs about
sub-standard safety occurred company - or worldwide. Actions are mentioned in the
documents to avoid re-occurrence of an incident. The actual Safety Alerts and Lessons
Learnt Reports are published on the mess room‘s black board and will be a topic during the
weekly HSE meetings.
The HSEQT department collects (not only internally, but also through industry liaisons such
as the IADC and BVEG) and disseminates safety alerts with other business units or external
institutions.
Well site security is the responsibility of the operator. Refer to Appendix 99.03.03 for a typical
well site lay-out, indicating the fences, entrances etc.
This HSE Case is based on the actual rig situation. Concurrent operations of the client are
regulated in a site specific HSE Case and / or a Bridging Document.
Parallel executed activities will be coordinated by the client unless otherwise agreed. In this
case the client provides a site specific HSE Case and / or Bridging Document, in which
influencing factors are assessed and the corresponding measures are described. Site
specific HSE Cases and / or Bridging Documents are communicated to all crew members.
During concurrent operations the operator’s representative co-ordinates the activities unless
mentioned otherwise in the Bridging Document or Quality Plan. Concurrent operations are
activities on the location, which are simultaneous to the drilling operations, i.e. production of
hydrocarbons or equivalent.
If necessary, reviews and revisions of assessments are carried out from previous structured
hazard identification, assessment and control activities to address new planned simultaneous
or combined operations.
Rig move operations are defined as all operations involving the movement of the drilling rig
from one well or drilling location to another well or drilling location. Rig move duration is from
rig release till rig acceptance.
After a well has been completed, the rig is released for the rig move. Prior to the rig move a
meeting is scheduled including all relevant parties (i.e. pre-move meeting). In this meeting all
associated parties come together and discuss the upcoming rig move. During a rig move a
rig move supervisor and other supervisors are appointed.
Prior to a rig move, the new location has to be inspected and the arrangements and
requirements for fire-water, sludge, waste and sewage pits are defined.
All KCA Deutag supervisory personnel and the responsible persons of the 3rd parties need
to hold a valid certificate of the rig up / lay down training course of the German Drilling
School in Celle, Germany.
A detailed Rig Move Manual (see Appendix 99.03.02, KCA Deutag T-700 Rig Move Manual)
is used as a guideline for the rig move operations. Furthermore the erection and lay down of
the mast is described in the Rig Approval File (Gerüstbuch).
Because all KCA Deutag rigs are operating onshore, all equipment must be transported by
truck. To control this transport by truck, a transport list was made. This transport list is a part
of the Rig Move Manual. Further information can be found in this document.
An overview of the tasks, activities and operations associated with erecting and lay down of
the mast and how they will be adequately controlled and managed, including descriptions of
any specific heavy lift operations are a part of the Rig Move Manual. Further information can
be found in this document.
Lifting operations are regulated through worldwide standard Appendix 99.02.44 K-CW-HS-
ST-007 Lifting Operations and Corporate Lifting Operations Procedure Document K-CW-HS-
PR-034 Appendix 99.02.44a
Part 2 KCADeutag HSE Case T-700 v.1.3 page 29 of 42
Health, Safety and Environmental Case T-700
The following environmental forces could affect the drilling unit or the operations:
- Extreme weather conditions.
- Collapse and break-up of the site foundation.
The rig is designed to comply with the regulations, specifications and standards applicable to
this type of rig. The mast is constructed according to API Specification 4E, DIN 4111 and EN
ISO 13626.
A load plan is made available to the Client in order to construct or modify the foundation of
the rig site accordingly.
HSE critical/hazardous activities associated with support units (cranes, forklifts, etc.) are part
of the assessed basic activities of the unit (Hazard Sheets: refer to Part 4). Refer to Appendix
99.02.43; document K-CW-HS-ST-006, section 2.1.p.
After the components are manufactured several internal and/or external HSE-related and
technical approvals need to follow.
The final approval of the equipment is given by the German Mining Authority.
Supervisory personnel and crane operators involved in lifting operations and material
handling need to hold a valid certificate of the rig up and - down training course at German
Drilling School in Celle. This course also includes crane operations, selection of hoisting
equipment and handling of loads.
Instructions for lifting operations and the handling of materials are described in detail in
operating Instruction.
All hoisting equipment is regularly inspected in accordance to the instructions for the
inspection of ropes, slings and chains, and labelled and colour-coded (refer to Appendix
99.02.63; document K-EU-HS-FO-005). The crew members are informed of the actual
colour-code on signs placed on relevant locations on the site.
The risk assessment for lifting operations can be found in the Hazard Sheets. For
extraordinary long or heavy loads a Permit to Work (PTW) and lifting plan have to be issued
Part 2 KCADeutag HSE Case T-700 v.1.3 page 31 of 42
Health, Safety and Environmental Case T-700
prior to start the lifting activities. Within the plan and related PTW for heavy lifts, the
foundation and range of the crane, the required lifting equipment and additional safety
measures are defined.
Arrangement for communication and supervision for the different kinds of lifting operations as
well as handling procedures are regulated in instructions.
Personnel movements and personnel on site are registered by either the security guard at
the entrance to the rig site or by the KCA Deutag rig management.
A sign at the entrance of the location indicates that check in / check out is obligatory for all
persons arriving or leaving the location.
Rig move operations are defined as all operations involving the movement of the drilling rig
from one well or drilling location to another well or drilling location. Rig move duration is from
rig release till rig acceptance.
After a well has been completed, the rig is released for the rig move. Prior to the rig move a
meeting is scheduled including all relevant parties (i.e. pre-move meeting). In this meeting all
associated parties come together and discuss the upcoming rig move. During a rig move a
rig move supervisor and other supervisors are appointed. For further information, refer to
Appendix 99.03.02, the KCAD T-700, Rig Move Manual.
Each new or existing location must be prepared before the rig move can start. A qualified
person will check the new or existing location by means of a checklist (from the operator).
Because all KCA Deutag rigs are operating onshore, all equipment must be transported by
truck. To control this transport by truck, a transport list was made. This transport list is a part
of the rig move plan. Further information can be found in this document.
After the rig is build up again, it needs to be inspected before drilling- or workover operations
can start again. This inspection is done by a number of qualified persons who check all
safety critical components on the rig. The inspection is done by means of checklists
concerning electrical and mechanical parts and equipment. Finally the KCA Deutag
Toolpusher performs a defined inspection program according to KCA Deutag operation
instruction no. 18. After that the drilling operations can start.

Health, Safety and Environmental Case T-700
Hazardous Substances
The regulation concerning hazardous materials in Europe is regulated two EU regulations as
follows:
EU directives 1907/2006 REACH
EU directive 1907/2006 REACH, (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of
Chemicals). REACH addresses the production and use of chemical substances, and their
potential impacts on both human health and the environment.
CLP regulation No 1272/2008
CLP stands for Classification, Labelling and Packaging. The CLP Regulation entered into
force in January 2009, and the method of classifying and labelling chemicals it introduced is
based on the United Nations' Globally Harmonised System (GHS).
The CLP Regulation ensures that the hazards presented by chemicals are clearly
communicated to workers and consumers in the European Union through classification and
labelling of chemicals. Before placing chemicals on the market, the industry must establish
the potential risks to human health and the environment of such substances and mixtures,
classifying them in line with the identified hazards. The hazardous chemicals also have to be
labelled according to a standardised system so that workers and consumers know about
their effects before they handle them.
German Ordinance on Hazardous Substances
The requirements from Reach and CLP are transferred into the German Health and Safety at
Work Act (Arbeitsstättenverordnung), and the Ordinance on Hazardous Substances
(Gefahrstoffverordnung,). The aim of the present Ordinance is to protect people and the
environment against substance-related damage by means of:
• regulations on the classification, labelling and packaging of dangerous substances
and preparations,
• measures to protect workers and other persons during activities involving hazardous
substances and
• Restrictions on the manufacture and use of specific hazardous substances,
preparations and articles.
It includes specifications for the production, supply, preventive measures, handling, storage
and disposal of hazardous materials.
As specified in the Ordinance the packing of hazardous materials must carry the following
information:
- Name of the substance
- Name of components of the mixture
- The hazards symbols with the names
- Indication of particular hazards
- The safety recommendations
- Name and address of the manufacturer or supplier.
Operating Instructions
All the Operating Instructions in use on the drilling unit contain the following information and
rules:
- Name of the hazardous material.
- Hazards to humans and the environment.
- Protective measures and rules of handling.
- Behaviour in case of danger.
- First aid.
- Adequate disposal.
The operating instructions are located in the office of the Toolpusher. All employees do
receive the relevant operating instruction as well as, everyone must do annually an online
training session in KCA Deutag training tool UWEB2000. Substances with a risk defined
> Then level 1 need a formal documented induction as outlined in the annual training plan.
Radioactive Substances
Operations (production, storage, processing and disposal) with radioactive substances are
subject to the specifications of the radiation protection regulations. The range of low specific
activity (LSA) of the solids occurring during oil and gas production varies from 0 up to 900
Bq/g. According to the radiation protection regulations the operations need to be
accompanied by an external specialist above 500 Bq/g.
The Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) of employees for LSA is specified in the radiation
protection regulation. As the personnel working on the operational unit are not exposed to
radiation occupationally, they may be exposed to maximum dose of 5 mSv/a in addition to
the natural radiation dose of about 2.4 mSv/a. In order not to exceed the limited value the
activity is monitored at the source.
The client is responsible for the protection of personnel against radiation during the use of
radioactive materials (i.e. radioactive sources). He appoints the radiation protection specialist
and specifies his competence and authorisation in writing.
Prior to operations, the radiation protection specialist discusses the operation and specifies
the radiation protection measures with the personnel possibly exposed to radiation.
The selection and type of PPE is discussed with the works council and the HSEQT
department.
All employees must wear their personal protective equipment wherever required. All PPE
must be examined and checked before use. Gloves and special protective equipment e.g.
special safety glasses, masks, ear protectors, disposable clothing etc., are provided for
special activities.
The procurement department coordinates the general terms and conditions (price, date of
delivery, conditions for payment, quality and HSE specifications) with the vendor and places
the purchase order. Equipment and services shall be supplied by selected vendors in order
to ensure, that the deliveries and services comply with the specified KCA Deutag
requirements. A list of vendors is maintained in the SAP system.
The maintenance management system is set-up in the way a land rig is being operated. As
opposed to a fixed installation a stacked rig may well loose some of its major components if
they are required for other rigs, i.e. mud pumps. These components go by their own identity
number. In this way the maintenance of a component can be traced and maintained
independently of the rig it belongs. In other words, maintenance is not connected to the
installation but to the equipment of the installation.
For details on the Management of Change (MoC) procedures, refer to chapter 2.3.2.0.
Parallel executed activities will be coordinated by KCA Deutag unless otherwise agreed and,
if necessary, laid down in a Bridging Document, in which influencing factors are assessed
and the corresponding measures are described. Site specific Bridging Documents are
communicated to all crew members.
The arrangements for monitoring and auditing vendor and sub-contractor HSE performance
are part of the certified KCA Deutag Quality Management System: details can be found in
Appendix 99.02.60, KCAD Corporate QMS Manual. Refer to Appendix 99.02.46; document
K-CW-GS-PR-001 for the Supplier Evaluation Procedure.
The HSE performance is monitored in daily reports provided by the Toolpusher through the
Enhanced Drilling Reporting System (EDRS). The EDRS not only holds drilling operational
data, but also includes HSE related data to have the relevant HSE information on a daily
basis. This data can is also used to display HSE information graphically.
The HSE part of the EDRS is updated on a daily basis according to the rig specific HSE
records and contains the following HSE Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s):
HSE performance is discussed during operational (morning) meetings and HSE meetings at
the drilling unit and as part of the management meeting.
These documents give a summary of the incident reporting and investigation methodology
(that meet KCA Deutag’s, client, and regulatory requirements), including:
- Details of the potential incident criteria used.
- Information on the training provided for incident investigation team members.
- Information on the methodology adopted to identify incident causes.
- Arrangements for tracking action items arising from investigations to completion.
The process, how to use the cards, is described on the cards themselves. The cards can be
used as a guide to source unsafe situations, actions and equipment. The observation report
has to be documented on the back side of the card. Preventive actions can be proposed by
the observer.
The Toolpusher is responsible for the assessment and further handling of the discovered
observations and the proposed actions. In case of unsafe actions or unsafe situations, he
has to translate, technical, organisational and personnel HSE measures into actions and
initiate further actions through the operations management (is necessary).
For the SET-cards (SET stands for “Safe, Effective, Trouble-free operations”) refer to
Appendix 99.02.61 for an example.
Monitoring lubricants
The amount of lubricants on site, used and discarded is monitored by the Toolpusher in
accordance with the waste management system of KCAD.
Monitoring water
As far as possible, treated water shall be used instead of drinking water. If possible, a water-
treatment plant should be installed on site to purify the water.
The consumption of drinking water must be reduced to a minimum.
The consumption of water from wells or from the public supply system, as well as the use of
water from canals is documented in an emission report on behalf of the client.
In order to minimise the spill of fluids of the rig floor during the drilling process and the
tripping operations in a clean manner, collecting bins, such as drip pans and mud bucket are
installed. The driller is responsible for the use of the correct equipment and methods.
The client is responsible for the design of the drill site. The site needs to be sealed against
penetration by liquids into the ground. Surface spills are to be collected by means of a
drainage system. If liquid-proof sealing of the location is not possible, special sheeting is to
be laid out. If a spill occurs, it has to be removed immediately and the incident is to be
documented.
Monitoring of radioactivity
On locations where Low Specific Activity (LSA) exposure is possible, radiation meters shall
be kept available. These instruments are provided by the client. Competent personnel
perform the measurements on the equipment pulled out of the borehole.

TABLE of CONTENTS
PART 3
3.0.1.0. INTRODUCTION
This part of the HSE Case contains supporting information about the drilling unit T-700, its
systems and equipment and the limits for normal operation, the activities likely to be carried
out and the environmental conditions in which it can operate.
The information relates to the hazards and environmental impacts that are identified in Part 4
of the HSE Case and the listing of HSE-critical equipment and systems.
The KCA DEUTAG drilling unit T-700 was manufactured in 2011 by BENTEC and assembled
in the same year in the BENTEC yard in Bad Bentheim, Germany. The design of the rig is
based on the field proven Euro Rig concept. However, several special features are
integrated. Therefore this type is called “Euromatic”, as a high degree of automation/remote
controls has been achieved. (Refer to Appendix 99.03.01 for extra general information)
The drilling system have been designed according to codes and industry standards,
subsequent modifications have been monitored and checked to ensure compliance with the
relevant codes and standards.
Rig Operations
The T-700 is built to act as a drilling rig, but can also perform workovers. Rig operations with
the T-700 can be defined as operations in drilling and workover mode, or in exceptional
modes like well testing.
Manning Levels
The following personnel are dedicated to the rig permanently/temporarily (night and day
shifts):
- Toolpusher (1)
- Night Toolpusher (1, depending on contract)
- Driller (1)
- Assistant Driller (1)
- Pipe Handling Operator (2)
- Roughnecks (1)
- Rig Mechanic (1)
- Rig Electrician (1)
- Customer personnel / Company representative.
3.1.2.0. Certification
The drilling unit is designed and manufactured according to DIN 4111 (German Industry
Standard) and EN ISO 13626 standard and design approval according to the German Mining
Authorities (§12 BVOT).
Such a German design approval is acknowledged also in Austria and in the Netherlands.
The drilling unit and its systems are also subject to International and/or National certification,
i.e.
- 4-yearly examination according to §96 (1) BVOT by an approved expert.
- Half yearly examination according to §96 (1) BVOT by authorized personnel.
- Examination of electrical equipment according to ElBergV, BVOT and ABBergV

Rig move operations are defined as all operations involving the movement of the drilling rig
from one well or drilling location to another well or drilling location. Rig move duration is from
rig release until rig acceptance on the new location.
After a well has been completed, the rig is released for the rig move. Prior to the rig move a
meeting is scheduled including all relevant parties (i.e. pre-move meeting). In this meeting all
associated parties come together and discuss the upcoming rig move. During a rig move a
Rig Move Supervisor and other Supervisors are appointed.
Prior to a rig move, the new location has to be inspected and the arrangements and
requirements for fire, water sludge, waste and sewage pits are defined.
All KCA Deutag supervisory personnel and the responsible persons of the 3rd parties need
to hold a valid certificate of the rig up / lay down training course of the German Drilling
School in Celle, Germany.
A detailed Rig Move Manual (see Appendix 99.03.02, KCAD T-700 Rig Move Manual is used
as a guideline for the rig move operations. Furthermore the erection and lay down of the
mast is described in the Rig Approval File (Gerüstbuch).
Transport
Because all KCA Deutag rigs in Europe are operating onshore, all equipment must be
transported by truck. To control this transport by truck, a transport list will be available. This
transport list is integral part of the Rig Move Manual. Detailed information can be found in
this document.
An overview of the tasks, activities and operations associated with erecting and lay down of
the mast and how they will be adequately controlled and managed, including descriptions of
any specific heavy lift operations are as well part of the Rig Move Manual. Further
information can be found in this document.
Lifting operations are regulated through the worldwide standard Appendix 99.02.44;
document K-CW-HS-ST-007.
Refer to Appendix 99.03.03, giving a typical lay-out of the drilling unit with specific reference
to features that significantly influence the overall risk and showing relative positions of the
main equipment and HSE systems.
The following modifications or upgrades have changed the drilling unit significantly or
enhanced its HSE standards:
The detailed information about these modifications is listed in the amendments of the Rig
Approval File (‘Gerüstbuch’). This document is located at the head office. Due to the relative
size of the file and the fact that only part of the file is available in electronic format, the file is
not included in the attachments of this HSE Case.
The selection of equipment and the safe performance of work are established by different
performance standards, internal rules and internal operating instructions, maintenance
schedules and tests. Appendix 99.03.07; document K-CW-EM-PR-022 gives an overview of
the applied inspection and certification standards. These standards are also considered in
the equipment requirements.
For the construction of the drilling unit and its systems, the applicable standards and
regulations were applied by manufacturer/owner (i.e. German Industry Standard DIN 4111,
EN ISO 13626, API standards, German National Mining Ordinance, Accident Prevention
Regulations BGVs, Confirmation statements of the supplier). These standards and
regulations consider static calculations of the rig structure, the ergonomic layout of
workplaces and the safe design and arrangement of rig equipment.
On land locations, the transport of personnel to and from the drilling site is by private
transport. While not on duty, personnel will stay off site in private accommodations. Land
transportation in The Netherlands is considered as an acceptable risk.
The following environmental forces could affect the drilling unit or the operations:
- extreme weather conditions
- collapse and break-up of the site foundation
The rig is designed to comply with the regulations, specifications and standards applicable to
this type of rig. The mast is constructed according to API Specification 4E, DIN 4111 and EN
ISO 13626.
A load plan is made available to the Client in order to construct or modify the foundation of
the rig site accordingly.
The drilling unit's structures have been designed for the operating conditions as stated in this
HSE Case in accordance to the "Richtlinie zur Bauartzulassung von ortsveränderlichen
Bohrgerüsten" of the German Mining Authority. Further information is given in the Rig
Approval File, such as:
- Static calculations, including audit reports of external experts
- Material certificates
- Test certificates
- Annual inspections of electrical equipment by thermal imaging
- Six monthly inspections by an internal expert
- Inspections by external expert every four years
According to the maintenance system described in this HSE Case, inspections, corrosion
monitoring, non-destructive testing and surveys of the main structural components will be
executed and reported.
Refer to Appendix 99.03.11 “Bauartzulassung” and Appendix 99.03.12 KCAD T-700

generators, BOP lifting fail-safe device and the drawworks fail-safe brake.
Refer to Appendix 99.03.22, T-700 Air system.pdf, for the T-700 air system.
As this is an onshore operation, there are no specific arrangements for local extraction of
fumes, etc. at workplaces, filtering to ensure air quality and disinfection of air ducts.
The drain system on the rig site is designed to legal requirements. It prevents contaminated
fluids to penetrate into the environment. All hazardous and non-hazardous liquids on the
surface on the site are collected via the drain system in a sealed pit for further treatment.
The cuttings are collected in a collecting pit. The client is responsible for adequate disposal.
Cuttings are stored in open containers and are transported / treated by a certified waste
management company.
All waste is collected and segregated according to the local rules and regulations and
transported / treated by a certified waste management company.
All the sewage and grey water from location is collected in a collecting and transported /
treated by a certified waste management company.
Refer to Appendix 99.03.03, drawing 0-97.98-1052221B, giving a typical lay-out of the drilling

The unit is equipped with 2 utility electronic-winches, each 5 mT.
Other Devices.
The unit is equipped with a mobile elevated working platform ('cherry picker') for safe working
at height, a forklift with pipe clamp and lifting arm and a jib crane installed on top of mud
pumps and in the mechanical workshop.
All the material handling equipment is subject to periodic independent inspection and testing.
Explosives
No explosives are stored on the location.
Operations with explosives are executed by specialized service parties only. Prior to these
operations, the procedures for handling the explosives need to be clarified. All personnel
involved will be instructed in a pre-job safety meeting. A work permit is required for such
work.
During operations with explosives all other works need to be stopped. Radio sets, mobile
phones and all affecting electrical equipment need to be switched off. Prior to entering EX
zone 1 on the rig with the explosives, it is to be ensured that the area is free of explosive
gases.
Flammable substances
Diesel fuel and lubrication oil are stored in a tanks / containers that satisfies the national,
legal requirements.
The rig crew is regularly trained in the handling of hazardous substances and in the use of
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
The hazardous areas (named “WEG classification” in the Fire-Fighting & Rescue Plan) are
marked on the safety plan (see Appendix 99.03.04, T-700 Fire fighting plan). They adhere to
the local regulations, which mean in the Netherlands the NPR 7910-1. Two types of zones
are defined: the red zone (zone 1) with a “High Explosion Risk”, and the green zone (zone 2)
with an “Explosion Risk”. Within these zones the risk of explosion can be caused by the
presence of highly explosive mixtures.
Areas within a 30-metre distance from the well and a 15-metre distance from the vent:
- Construction sites (not part of the drilling unit system) containing ignition sources.
- Public roads and railways
- Areas containing easily flammable vegetation
- Other ignition sources.
Hazardous areas are defined in order to prevent explosions that can do damage to people,
installations or the environment. The risk isographs of these zones are legally defined. They
are based on the estimated time a combustible mixture or a gas mixture will be present per
year.
The hazardous areas related to fire and explosion hazards are determined by the position of:
- The well
- The mud tank system
- The flow line
- Choke manifold.
All office and accommodation units / containers are equipped with smoke detectors which
are tested monthly.
Hand-held / portable gas measuring / detection for oxygen (O2), hydrocarbon (HC) and
hydrogen sulphide (H2S) detection are available (Dräger Multiwarn II or equivalent). These
are tested monthly and before use.
A fixed gas measuring / detection system will be installed when H2S is expected. H2S-
sensors will be located at the Driller’s cabin, the shaker area and at the active pit. A HC
sensor will be installed at in the shaker area. The indicator panel is located at the Tool
pusher’s office. No automatic actions are initiated. Maintenance, testing and calibration: a
weekly test and recalibration and maintenance after installation or if necessary (indicated by
weekly test).
In case of an emergency the rig is shut down manually. The rig can be (partially) stopped in
case of an emergency.
The pushdown button in the driller’s cabin and VFD shuts down all engines of the rig. In
addition, a separate shutdown button is installed on every engine.
The manual Emergency Shut Down (ESD) system is fitted with a Pilz ESD-relay.
The drilling unit is equipped with portable fire extinguishers intended for the fire fighting
actions against small incipient fires. In case of large fire personnel will evacuate the site to
the assigned muster point.
External emergency services (local fire brigade) are alarmed in accordance with the
Emergency Response Plan, and on arrival on site, start the appropriate fire fighting actions.
The drilling unit is a steel structure which can withstand a limited fire heat load. No specific
passive fire protection measures are taken.
Refer to Appendix 99.03.04, T-700 fifi plan.pdf, for a typical rig site lay-out showing the main
routes of access/egress to the muster points. These routes are equipped with suitable main
and emergency lighting. In case of an evacuation due to an emergency, it is necessary for all
personnel on site to gather at the muster point(s). Further actions are organized by the
supervisors at the muster point.
(Not applicable)
The equipment owned by service companies and third parties must comply with the
applicable regulations and KCA Deutag standards. Prior to installation, the KCA Deutag
supervisors will check this equipment.

PART 4
management system guides people’s decision making and is intended to ensure operations
of an organisation are planned, communicated, implemented and controlled in such a way
that the objectives of the organisation will be safely achieved.
In addendum to the existing HSE Policies and management systems, KCA Deutag
implements a Major Accident Prevention Policy (MAPP). The MAPP will give an overview of
how KCA Deutag ensures a high level protection for its employees and the environment
during all phases of its operations. The MAPP can be found in Appendix 99.04.14.
The HSE Case is intended to provide assurance to the stake holders that the management
system effectively provides this guidance.
Effective application of the steps of the Risk Management Process described in Part 4
assists KCA Deutag in integrating HSE management of risks into operations, regardless of
whether the potential consequences result in harm to the health and safety of personnel,
harm to the environment, harm to assets or any combination of these.
In addition, the Risk Management Process has been developed to provide regulatory
compliance.
The KCA Deutag’s operations have the potential to release hazards that are common among
a number of these operations.
Relationship of Risk Management Terms, adapted from ISO/IEC Guide 73: 2002, describes
the relationship of key risk management terms:
Risk Management
1. Risk Assessment
a. Risk Analysis
Risk Estimation
b. Risk Evaluation
2. Risk Treatment
a. Risk Avoidance
b. Risk Optimization
c. Risk Transfer
d. Risk Retention
3. Risk Acceptance
4. Risk Communication
The Risk Management Process models the essential steps related to the application of an
effective risk management process:
step 1. Identification of the hazards (including sources of hazards and environmental
aspects, if applicable),
step 2. Assessment of risks arising from hazards, and consideration of risk tolerability,
step 3. Elimination or reduction of the risk.
There are internal and external business aspects that KCA Deutag considered when
applying the risk management process. These specific business aspects take into account
differences in geographical location, the suitability of the unit for the operating environment,
the operator / client and third parties under KCA Deutag's control, the regulatory
environment, and the supplier / sub-contractor support infrastructure available. However, as
the main operational hazards do remain the same regardless of the environment KCA
Deutag is operating in, a Generic Land Rig HSE Case Hazard and Effects assessment was
conducted, in order to identify the main operational hazards. The Generic Land Rig HSE
Case Hazard and Effects Register can be found in Appendix 99.04.12. This Risk assessment
was taken as the starting point in terms of Major Operational Hazards for the country / rig
based risk management processes.
The risk management process includes sound judgments and appropriate decision making,
such as identifying appropriate screening criteria, defining effective and achievable risk
management barriers and determining when risk levels are tolerable.
The people participating in the risk management process have sufficient understanding with
the internal and external business aspects, as well as HSE management and risk
management processes.
The Structured Hazard Identification and Control (SHIDAC) Process is another name for the
Risk Management Process, used by KCA Deutag, and based on standards ISO 17776
(Petroleum and natural gas industries - Offshore production installations - Guidelines on tools
and techniques for hazard identification and risk assessment), ISO 31000 (Risk
management - Principles and guidelines) and ISO 31010 (Risk management - Risk
assessment techniques), Nogepa Industry Standard No. 83 RIGG (report on Major Hazards
for production installations).
The Risk Management (or SHIDAC) approach is a process incorporating the basics of fault-
tree and event-tree analyses, and includes implementation of measures to control major and
other workplace hazards and to recover in the event of a hazard release. A key deliverable of
this process is the determination of major hazards, other workplace hazards, and the critical
activities / tasks to implement, monitor and maintain barriers related to KCA Deutag’s scope
of operations.
The Risk Management process is an iterative process, sometimes requiring multiple passes
of each step to effectively complete the process related to specific hazards.
For the identified risks for drilling operations assessments including ‘Bow-Tie’ diagrams are
used to identifying the various causes and consequences of a particular hazard scenario.
‘Bow-Tie’ diagrams can simplify the identification of control, defence and recovery barriers.
Major hazards as Blowout, Fire and Explosion, H2S Emissions, Environmental Spills,
Dropped objects and Structural Failure also assessed in Bow-Tie diagrams.
All Bow-Ties can be found in Appendix 99.04.05.
The most important Major Hazards (Major Risks) on the drilling rig are:
• Blowout
• Fire on the Rig
• H2S Emission
• Environmental Release / Spills
• Dropped Objects
• Structural Failure
NOGEPA Standard 83 requirements for Major Hazards in regard to land rigs also assessed.
The following sections describe these hazards in detail. The description and assessment of
the hazards are a result of several different scenarios of causes and possible consequences.
In case of escalation the complete crew has to evacuate the location. The escape routes will
be followed to report at the dedicated muster points.
Blow - outs
A blow-out can be caused due to a kick, i.e. uncontrolled influx of fluid (water, oil, gases) into
the bore hole. To avoid this following actions are to be taken:
- The volume in the pits is permanent controlled by technical devices and / or manual /
visual by regular observations by a crew member.
- Mud samples are taken regularly to check the specific gravity. A change of the specific
gravity can indicate a kick.
- Prior to each trip a flow check will be conducted.
- To avoid swabbing or surging of the mud the trip speed in the open hole - and also in
the cased hole - are limited.
- The volume during run in – and the pull out of hole are monitored through a trip tank, to
record the fluid levels and differences. These figures are checked with the calculated
figures. A deviation of the calculated figures indicates gain or losses.
- Other good oil field practices such as flow-check after a drilling break.
In case of a kick the procedures to avoid a blow out – as described in the Well Controle
Manual, the Rig Crew Work Instructions and the Emergency Instructions Manual – will be
followed. These procedures describe in detail how to detect a kick, which action to be taken,
functioning of the organisation to control and to circulate out a kick. Regular training and drills
with the crew are conducted. This includes a detailed, documented rig specific “Rig Site Well
Control Briefing and Induction” based on our “Well Control Golden Rules” Appendix
99.02.57b.
To control the bore hole pressure, if a kick occurs, a BOP-stack is installed. The Well Control
Manual explains which safety devices have to be tested in which sequence. It also explains
what type of equipment for these tests are used. The test period is described in work
instruction.
During a blow-out the crew has to take all necessary action as laid down in the Emergency
Instructions Manual. This manual describes for every crew member what to do in the case of
evacuation and how to assemble at the muster points. It also describes who to inform in
order to co-ordinate further action.
To avoid fire at the rig all possible actions will be conducted, also to minimise the impact in
order to avoid escalation.
The Fire Fighting- and Rescue Plan is based upon the rig layout. It consists general
information according to Hazard zones, Escape ways, Muster points and a list of Firefighting
equipment as well as where to find it.
The location has been divided into more hazardous and a less hazardous zones (Ex-zones).
Eliminating ignition sources in hazardous zones, where one will find explosive or combustible
mixtures, reduces the likelihood of having a fire. Electrical installations, which are installed
inside the hazardous zone, have to be ex-proof. Hot work and a variety of other activities are
only permitted inside this zone with a valid Permit to Work (PTW).
Additional information for the fire prevention is described in the HSE Instruction Manual, WI
K-EU-HS-WI-010 Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting Equipment.
In case any fire is detected at the rig the general alarm has to be activated, the crew will be
warned. The Toolpusher or the Client Representative will call the local fire brigade according
to the Firefighting- and Rescue Plan; the drilling crew will secure the well. The rig crew will
keep the fire under control, try to extinguish, if possible.
The fire fighting will be conducted according to the Emergency Instructions Manual and the
Firefighting- and Rescue Plan. Firefighting by the crew is limited to rescuing persons and
only if there is a chance of success. The crew must not be in danger.
The crew has received training according to the KCA Deutag training matrix, and is trained in
the use of the rig‘s Firefighting equipment.
Upon arriving on location the local fire brigade takes over the command.
H2S Emission
Hydrogen Sulphide can be encountered during drilling, casing running, coring and testing
operations. H2S is highly toxic, colourless and its density is above the density of air. It is
soluble in water and hydrocarbons, and is highly corrosive to drilling tubular. It is combustible
forming sulphur dioxide. Loss of containment of small concentrations of H2S can result in
multiple fatalities, a major fire (if an ignition source is present) and a possible environmental
impact to the surrounding area.
The risk is minimised by taking the following preventive and mitigating measures:
Gas detection equipment is available at the rig. Breathing apparatuses are available,
checked regularly in compliance with the regulations. The BVEG Merkblatt (Instruction
Sheet) describes toxicity, and characteristics of the gas. The drilling mud is routinely tested
for any increase of sulphides, to give early warning of the potential for H2S.
If H2S is expected on the site, the rig has to be equipped by the client with H2S protection
systems. This can be part of the drilling contract with KCA Deutag.
The entire crew will get additional (refresher) training. Access to the site will be minimised.
Only H2S resistant tubular, rubber parts etc. will be used (BOP).
When H2S is detected, scavengers are added to the drilling fluids. Tools and tubular are
inspected visually for the effects of H2S. High tensile strength tools are fully inspected. Safe
evacuation areas are identified for the various wind directions. Special operations procedures
and a strict Permit to Work system, together with a general state of readiness will be
enforced.
The Emergency Instructions Manual and the Firefighting-and Rescue Plan describe the
contingency planning alarms etc.
The BVEG Instruction (H2S Merkblatt) describes the rules and regulations, instructions,
training of personnel and the maintenance of the gas protection equipment.
Individual risk levels on a generic H2S well are approximately 20 % higher, than on a
standard gas well.
On H2S locations all supervisory staff is regularly trained in specific gas protection. All crews
receive H2S training by the KCA Deutag Gas Protection Supervisor or equivalent external
services according to the training matrix every 6 months. These courses are recorded in the
Personal Safety Logbook (PSL).
Environmental Release
The uncontrolled spill of fluids or chemicals from the storage capacities of a rig can result in
serious consequences for persons, environment and equipment. To avoid leakage, i.e.
neutralise and minimise, the following precautions have been implemented:
- The fuel tanks are equipped with double walls and a leakage warning device.
- An emergency shut off valve is installed at the outside of the fuel tanks. The tanks are
identified with signs according to the international regulations for diesel fuel.
- The rig flow line is equipped with a drip pane to minimize leakage / spills around the
bore hole cellar
- The storage of chemicals is according to legislation.
- For all hazardous substances SDS are available. Based on a specific risk assessment
Operating Instructions are made, to ensure safe and correct handling of the chemicals.
Rig condition:
All Rigs, equipment and facilities must be maintained in a safe condition, in good working
order and fit for purpose.
Equipment criticality:
All equipment must be assigned a criticality and maintenance activities shall be prioritised
based on criticality.
Spare parts:
All spare parts must be managed to avoid the storage of surplus or unrequired stock whilst
ensuring there are adequate spares to minimise rig down time. Critical spares must be
determined and all critical spares must be identified accordingly.
Further technical process and safety devices are integrated into the rig as, rig zone
management systems, anti-collision systems, detailed drilling parameter instrumentations
with visual and acoustic alarms and camera observation systems for the rig.
Procedures are in place to ensure that work can be continued safely under difficult rig
operations as, stuck pipe, jarring, running excessive CSG loads.
The Major Hazard Analyses were visualized using 'Bow-Tie' diagrams and can be found in
Appendix 99.04.05. Based on these 'Bow-Tie' analyses and the Risk Management Process,
corresponding Major Accident Hazard Scenarios (MAH Scenarios) were created. Refer to
Appendix 99.04.13 for the detailed Major Accident Hazard Scenario sheets.
Based on historical accident statistics and risk assessments in the European onshore and
offshore industry, many data from different operations are taken into consideration to compile
this risk assessment for standard jobs. The workplace risk assessment reflects the
Catalogue of Operations for the industry done by the German Workers’ Compensation
Association (Hannover) as well.
The rig activities are (as defined in the Catalogue of Operations) listed and broken down into
sub-activities. In the next step the hazards are identified and evaluated. Refer to Appendix
99.04.06 for the detailed workplace risk assessments (Risk Assessment Sheets –
‘Gefahrenblätter).
The 23 basic activities of the drilling and work-over rigs are identified and divided as follows:
Catalogue of Hazards
A. Mechanical Hazards
1. Unprotected moving machinery parts (e.g. rotary table).
2. Moving transport means (e.g. forklift, stabbing Board).
3. Uncontrolled moving parts (e.g. rolling / falling parts).
4. Released pressure.
5. Fall, slip, stumble, twist.
6. Falling from heights.

Refer to Appendix 99.04.01, Document K-EU-HS-WI-031 and Appendix 99.04.06 for details
on Risk Management in general and workplace risk assessments (Risk Assessment Sheets
– ‘Gefahrenblätter) in particular.
Major Accident Hazard (MAH) sheets Appendix 99.04.04, Major Accident Hazard Sheets
The KCA Deutag Land BU Major Accident Hazard (MAH) sheets have been developed by
the KCA Deutag Land BU directly from a generic safety case analysis of Drilling Operations.
The resultant “bow tie” diagrams and associated narratives have been deconstructed and
presented in the MAH sheet format for all safety critical operations to serve as a planning tool
to inform and enhance all relevant documentation e.g. operating or functional procedures,
work instructions and so forth. MAH’s are available for:
• 01 MAH - Site Preparation Assessment
• 02 MAH - Conductor Setting
• 03 MAH - Rig Move
• 04 MAH - Transport
• 05 MAH - Drilling
• 06 MAH - Running Casing
• 07 MAH - Cementing
• 08 MAH - Perforating-(Explosives)
• 09 MAH - Completion Well Testing
• 10 MAH - Coiled Tubing
• 11 MAH - Wireline Logging Slickline
• 12 MAH - Health and Hygiene
• 13 MAH - Security
KCA Deutag applied appropriate competency to evaluate and estimate the risk of all the
identified hazards (both major and other workplace hazards). The potential consequences
(severity) of the release of the hazards and the probability (likelihood) of the total scenario
(not just the probability of the consequences if the hazard is released) were determined,
using the Risk Assessment Matrix as shown in Appendix 99.04.01, Document K-EU-HS-WI-
031 on Risk Management.
4.3.3.0. SHIDAC Step 3 - Identify Risk Reduction Measures and Set Functional
Requirements
For workplace hazards that have been assessed to be low risk, and have potential
consequences resulting in a minor incident, risk reducing controls available within the
general workplace practices and procedures, represented in the BMS are applied. In
addition, personnel should apply their experience and judgment to manage risk by applying
the applicable individual, verbal, or written job hazard analysis.
For workplace hazards that have been assessed to be medium risk, and have potential
consequences resulting in a moderate incident, conduct a hazard analysis onsite at the
workplace (TRIC system, refer to Appendix 99.04.02, Document K-EU-HS-WI-014 for the
JSA – TRIC instruction and 99.04.03, Document K-CW-HS-FO-018 for a Task Risk
Identification Card). Based on personnel experience and judgment and by applying barriers
or controls contained within the general procedures in the BMS, can prevent the release of
hazards and mitigate / recover from the consequences. Additional specific controls identified
in documented job hazards analyses and workplace hazard assessments should be
included.
For major hazards that represent high risk, and other workplace hazards that have been
assessed to be high risk, the risk treatment to be applied includes the following steps for:
- Each cause (potential to release hazards), the barriers expected to prevent the release
of the hazard are identified.
- Every potential release of a hazard, the barriers to reduce the consequences, or assist
in the recovery from the consequences is identified.
- Each barrier identified the critical task / activities required to ensure barriers are in-
place, working effectively and their integrity is maintained are identified, including the
resources / competencies required.
As a summary and reference document a list of critical tasks and positions has been
included: refer to Appendix 99.04.08 KCAD T-700 Safety Critical Task and Positions
v.2.1.xlsx.
A summary of the results of the risk assessment is shown in the following matrix, where the
main operations are shown, the evaluation result for each operational risk. Every main
activity has got its own “Risk Assessment Sheet” (refer to 23 Hazard Sheets in Appendix
99.04.01, Document K-EU-HS-WI-031 as a result of the risk assessment for general rig
operations in Appendix, Document 99.04.01a Risk Assessment & Matrix Risk Assessment
general KCA Deutag risk management methodology. Environmental critical elements are
also, safety critical elements that mean these are Safety & Environmental critical elements.
The major ECE are:
• Loss of containment, leakage, resulting in environmental spills.
• Release of Gases / H2S
These elements are assessed in Bow Tie Diagrams in Appendix 99.04.05 KCAD T-700
BowTie Diagrams
A list of the team members involved in the process with descriptions of their knowledge,
competence, and understanding of KCA Deutag’s management system cannot be given as
the process has been ongoing for many years. All data included in this HSE Case has been
verified by the HSE/QA Department.
An important activity in risk management is the process of ranking the identified hazards with
respect to their significance to the business and operation. The ranking of risks is based on
the level of HSE risk associated with those hazards included in a drilling unit’s scope of
operations. Risk estimation is the step of systematically determining the level of risk that
each of the identified hazards presents to people, assets, the environment or any other area
of concern such as company reputation.
In order to provide a consistent and systematic estimation of risk, KCA Deutag applies the
Risk Factor Evaluation Matrix (refer to Appendix 99.04.01, Document K-EU-HS-WI-031 on
Risk Management. Incident potentials / levels categorised in the incident severity level
matrix, (refer to Appendix 99.02.51, Document K-CW-HS-WI-002 on Incident Reporting and
Communication Procedure. These matrices are well embedded in the KCA Deutag
management culture and documents and provide a convenient structure to apply the
screening criteria (values, targets and / or performance standards) to evaluate or compare
the significance of an identified hazard, event or associated risk to determine the tolerability.
Refer also to Appendix 99.03.10, Document K-CW-EM-GU-005 for the Equipment Failure
Risk Criteria Risk Rating.
Screening criteria are defined as values, targets or performance standards used to evaluate
or compare the significance of an identified hazard, event or associated risk to determine the
tolerability. They may be defined either in quantitative or qualitative terms. The KCA Deutag
screening criteria include regulatory requirements, industry standards, and internal company
requirements.
The primary application of screening criteria is in the risk matrices to define consequence
severities. KCA Deutag ´s Hazard Sheets (Hazard Register) include an estimate of a realistic
potential consequence severity and its probability of occurrence for each hazard and an
overall risk rating assigned to each hazard.
According to the definitions, Risk Assessment is the combined activities of Risk Evaluation
and Risk Analysis.
KCA Deutag has systematically identified the hazards and sources that could cause harm on
the drilling unit and analyzed these to qualitatively understand the level of risk that each
presents. With this knowledge the significance of these risks (and therefore of the hazards)
to the business is assessed by evaluating the estimated risks versus the screening criteria.
Tolerability means a willingness to operate with some risk in order to secure certain benefits
and in the confidence that the risk is being properly controlled. Tolerability of risk refers to a
framework that helps individuals to decide if risks are broadly acceptable, tolerable or
intolerable. Based on the following risk matrix
Notes:
The KCA Deutag risk matrix complies with the General Risk Classification Matrix as follows;
Recovery
To ensure that there are suitable barriers in place to prevent or limit escalation from the first
event or hazard released (e.g., fire fighting systems, public/private emergency services, etc.)
Included are arrangements to return to normal operations after an event.
The above strategies are intended to be applied together to reduce the residual HSE risks to
levels tolerable to KCA Deutag. When the estimated risk rating and significance of the
hazard increased, more barriers and layers of risk treatment are warranted, to reduce the
risk.
The risk management activities described in Part 4 define the barriers that are required to
ensure risks are reduced to a tolerable level and what resources are needed to maintain
these barriers in an effective and available condition.
In dynamic situations, KCA Deutag will encounter suboptimal conditions and therefore
decisions must be made under what parameters operations may proceed. Normal activities
and situations are described in:
- Rig Crew Work Instructions (Appendix 99.02.57, Table of Contents),
- Operating Instructions (Appendix 99.02.48, Table of Contents),
- Workplace Risk Assessments (Appendix 99.04.06),
- Workplace Risk Assessment 'Bow-Tie' diagrams (Appendix 99.04.05).
Major Hazard Risk Assessment Bow-Tie’ diagrams (Appendix 99.04.05)
As a summary and decision document, a MOPO for the T-700 operations has been compiled
(refer to Appendix 99.04.07 KCAD T-700 MOPO.xlsx for details).
KCA Deutag shares the results of the risk management process (i.e., HSE Case) with
relevant stakeholders and establish a framework where stakeholders can provide input to
continuously improve the overall risk management as documented in the HSE Case.
KCA Deutag defined and developed the “Drilling Contractor’s Scope of Operations” (refer to
chapter 4.3.1.0.). This is for communicating the risk management hazards and barriers to
the workforce and other stakeholders. This information includes Hazardous Operations and
Critical Activities / Tasks as defined per the following:
Hazardous Operations can be defined as Operations with the potential to release one or
more Major Hazards or defeat barriers for one or more Major Hazards.
Critical Activities / Tasks can be defined as an activity / task which provide or maintains
barriers (including HSE Critical equipment). (These tasks may or may not be hazardous in
themselves, e.g., maintenance tasks, monitoring alarm, gas detector testing, Permit-To-
Work.). Refer to Appendix 99.02.57 (Table of Contents) Rig Crew Work Instructions.
Monitoring is intended to confirm that risk treatment barriers are operating effectively and as
designed. This includes various methods of day-to-day supervision (both at and away from
the worksite), to ensure that procedures are understood, followed and current. It also
includes routinely verifying whether expected barriers are working and established
performance standards met.
While it is not always feasible or practical to regularly confirm the effectiveness of every
barrier, it is important to regularly confirm the effectiveness of the barriers for high risk
hazards and to confirm that the critical activities and tasks are being performed as expected.
Refer to Appendix 99.02.58, Document K-CW-HS-ST-005 with details on HSE Inspections,
and Appendix 99.02.59, Document K-EU-HS-WI-035 on Supervisor Auditing.
This HSE Case provides an understanding of the HSE risks on the drilling unit and how
these are controlled.
The HSE Case has been developed with and for the KCA Deutag drilling crews as a tool for
everyone to work safely on the rig. The document can also be used as a reference to other
data sources as it contains descriptions of the main components of the rig, the activities
carried out on the rig and several useful drawings. The HSE Case will be electronically
available.
The Hazard Sheets and other risk information referred to in the HSE Case (including critical
activities and tasks) will periodically be discussed with individuals who have responsibilities
to perform them. This will also be used to verify whether the required resources are
adequate, and how best to improve the effectiveness of the barriers. Refer to Appendix
99.02.24, the KCAD Europe Training Matrix and Appendix 99.02.25, Document K-CW-TD-
FO-032 on Standard Operation Procedure (SOP) / HSE training.
KCA Deutag realizes that although a lot of effort has been put into the document, it can still
be further improved, comments will be collated and incorporated were considered useful.
The HSE Case should be used to improve the HSE situation on the rig.
TABLE of CONTENTS
PART 5
To guarantee a quick response, anyone who notices an incident is expected to give the
alarm at once and then to initiate the adapted preventive measures. An unnoticed minor
incident can initiate possible escalation to a major emergency event.
Even when external assistance is required in an emergency situation, the operation remains
under the leadership of the Toolpusher. He has to inform and to report to his direct
supervisor.
In any emergency situation the responsibility for the safety of all personnel present at the rig
site, including third-party employees and visitors, and for the integrity of the rig and drilling
equipment rests with the Toolpusher or his deputy, unless this responsibility is taken over by
the client representative or the external emergency services. Details on the exact, location
specific, arrangements will be described in a Bridging Document.
To achieve a controlled and effective response to any emergency situation, KCA Deutag has
to make sure that the personnel working on the rig is properly instructed. All personnel,
including contract employees, should be informed of the safety and health hazards
associated with their employment and appropriate training should be provided in operating
and maintenance procedures, the work permit system, non-routine work activities, and
emergency preparedness and response.
Although the Toolpusher (or his deputy) is designated as the person in charge, he should act
in close cooperation with the client representative present at the well site. The Country
Manager will liaise with the Operating Company “in town” and with the local authorities and
he will keep an effective communication with the Toolpusher for the duration of the
emergency situation.
The following major hazards were analysed by KCA Deutag HSE professionals and rig
management to have an effect on the drilling unit's overall risk levels:
- Loss of Primary Well Control (ERM chapter 3)
- Total Loss of Well Control (e.g. Blow-out) (ERM chapter 4)
- Fire / Explosion (ERM chapter 5)
- Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) (ERM chapter 6)
- Oil / Chemical Spill – Gas Leakage (ERM chapter 7)
- General Accident (ERM chapter 8)
- Man / Vehicle Missing (ERM chapter 9)
- Extreme Weather Conditions (ERM chapter 10)
- Loss of (or Damage to) Radioactive Source or Explosives Incident (ERM chapter 11)
- Structural Damage / Equipment Failure Influencing Safety (ERM chapter 12)
- Toxic Substances / Formation of Smoke / Free-Flowing Gas (ERM chapter 13)

For each of these major hazards an emergency response has been defined tasking into
account the (potential) magnitude of the situation changes and giving a preferred hierarchy of
response Refer to chapter 7 of Appendix 99.02.42, for details on the response for each of the
major hazards mentioned above.
The KCA Deutag Emergency Response Manual (refer to Appendix 99.02.42 & Appendix
99.02.42a) contains relevant information from the emergency response analysis. Revising
and updating the Emergency Response Manual is regulated by the general procedure for
document control (Appendix 99.02.01, document K-CW-BE-PR-006).
The Emergency Response Manual was set up by KCA Deutag HSE professionals and rig
management / crew.
Details of the H2S emergency procedures can be found in chapter 6 of the Emergency
Response Manual (refer to Appendix 99.02.42a).
The Emergency Response Manual provides the guidance and operational procedures
required to eliminate or reduce the potential harm to personnel, equipment and environment
at the rig site from the effects of natural or man-made disasters and to limit the interruption of
the drilling process.
The manual can be used as a location / site specific Emergency Response Plan (ERP) when
required, and as guideline for the Emergency Response Team working from the Emergency
Response Centre in the KCA Deutag premises in Bad Bentheim Germany.
If necessary, a location / site specific Emergency Response Plan will be made in addition to
the Emergency Response Manual, including a Bridging Document and a rig specific Fire
Fighting Plan ((FiFi Plan: refer to Appendix 99.03.04, for the current location / site specific
FiFi Plan).
Objective of this chapter is to demonstrate that there is an effective command structure for
emergency situations.
General leadership
In any emergency situation the responsibility for the safety of all personnel present at the rig
site, including third-party employees and visitors, and for the integrity of the rig and drilling
equipment rests with the Toolpusher or his deputy, unless this responsibility is taken over by
the client representative or the external emergency services. Details on the exact, location
specific, arrangements will be described in a Bridging Document.
Details of the emergency control room facilities, equipment and documentation can be found
in chapter 9.3, 9.4 and 9.5 of the Emergency Response Manual (refer to Appendix 99.02.42
& Appendix 99.02.42a).
Objective of this chapter is to demonstrate that in the event of a major accident, all necessary
arrangements are in place to provide and co-ordinate external support.
Fire
The following is a typical description of the external support to a KCA Deutag drilling unit in
case of a fire. From location to location details will differ, but the basic elements are the
same.
Water supply
Water can be obtained from open water, from water pipes or from reservoirs with sufficient
capacity. Generally, the clean-water pit on the location will be available for the supply of fire-
fighting water.
Medical assistance
In case of a medical emergency, external support to a KCA Deutag drilling unit is provided by
the regional ambulance services and regional hospitals, including helicopter transport.
5.2.3.0. Communications
The drilling unit is equipped with an independent satellite connection, mobile phones and
landlines for normal external communication. Alternative DSL lines are in use. A hands-free
radio system and internal communication (intercom) systems are available.
On the drill floor an alarm push-button is provided for manual alarm notification:
- An intermittent (2 short – 2 long) signal indicates the fire alarm.
- A continuous signal (long) indicates a gas alarm.
- Driller call: 1 short signal.
Communication with external emergency services is guaranteed by land lines and mobile
phones.
SCC-1 / SCC-2
All employees have attended the two-day Basic Safety Training SCC-1. All supervisory
personnel have attended the SCC-2 “Safety for Supervisors”, as part of the Safety Certificate
for Contractors (SCC**).
First Aid
At least the KCA Deutag Toolpusher, Night Toolpusher, Driller and Assistant Driller are
trained in First Aid; exercises / drills are held and monitored on the rig in accordance with the
legal requirements.
Fire fighting
The KCA Deutag personnel is trained theoretically and practically for at least six hours in
handling fire extinguishers according to the instructions "Use of firefighting equipment" in
accordance with German mining law (BVOT) and Drilling Ordinance (mandatory for rigs
operating in Germany). Fire-fighting exercises / drills are held and monitored on the rig in
accordance with the legal requirements.
Blow-out preventing
There is always supervisory personnel (certified Toolpusher, Driller and / or Assistant Driller)
on site who have attended the five-day IWCF blow-out prevention training course at the
German Drilling School in Celle, Germany (or similar). The training course needs to be
repeated every two years.
Breathing apparatus
All members of the crew, who are medically approved to use a breathing apparatus, are
trained and familiarized with the equipment on site.
Records of all training courses and exercises are available on the rig.
Refer to tab two of Appendix 99.02.25, the KCAD Europe Training Matrix, for the full details
on the emergency training / competency arrangements.
Objective of this chapter is to demonstrate that there is a programme of drills, exercises and
tests.
Drills, exercises and tests (‘emergency response drills’) will be held regularly on site for the
command and communication arrangements, emergency equipment (under realistic
conditions), and emergency response in general. Scenario-based firefighting and rescue
plans are present for this. Exercises and drills conducted by the external emergency services
are not included, as they are not KCA Deutag’s responsibility.
Emergency Response drills and exercises are reported in the monthly report for the drilling
unit. In general, at each rig, there is a weekly drill / exercise with each set of emergency
response equipment. In chapter 2.5 of the FiFi Plan, details on the drills, exercises and tests
can be found.
KCA Deutag ensures that all new employees, trainees, agency workers and contracted
personnel will receive valid and relevant instructions for each job assignment and special
instructions relevant to the specific workplace dangers and the required protection measures.
Every new employee joining KCA Deutag receives instructions and directives relevant to:
- HSE fundamental rules and annual HSE programs.
- Hazardous materials instructions.
- Fire protection instructions.
- Personal protective equipment.
- Introduction and guidance to the writing of accident reports.
- Gas protection instructions (if required).
- Forklift instructions (if required).
- Banksman: Safe slinging and rigging (if required).
This training program and introduction (including a tour of the premises) will be provided
either by the relevant manager of the operational unit or the HSE/QA Department. All
courses and instructions are recorded.
The training program and required intervals are described in Appendix 99.02.25, the KCAD
Europe Training Matrix. Employee induction standard and Appendix 99.02.28, gives the
induction programme.
The rig site is enclosed by a fence with at least the regulatory required number of gates,
which can be used as emergency exits when an evacuation of the drilling unit is needed.
Emergency evacuation drills are performed according to local regulations and logged on the
rig site, including the evacuation times.
When the evacuation alarm is sounded, the following actions have to be taken:
- Secure the work area.
- Proceed to the muster point.
- Check, while leaving, that no one remains on site.
- Assist, if necessary, other persons.
- Follow the instructions of the external emergency services and / or Toolpusher.
- Remain at the muster point until ordered to leave.
In case of a gas release, the location perpendicular to the wind direction has to be left.
H2S locations can be recognized by the sign at the entrance and by windsocks.
The security guard checks if everyone is present at the muster point by means of a roll call.
He reports to the client’s representative / Toolpusher.
Refer to Appendix 99.03.04 for a typical rig site Firefighting plan showing the main / preferred
routes of access / egress to the muster points. These routes are equipped with suitable main
and emergency lighting. In case of an evacuation due to an emergency, it is necessary for all
personnel on site to gather at the muster point(s). Further actions are organized by the
supervisors at the muster point.
Client and site specific rescue arrangements will be laid down in a site specific Bridging
Document.

6.0.0.0. INTRODUCTION
Part 6 of the HSE Case contains HSE Management System objectives that have been
determined as those necessary to demonstrate assurance that risks in KCA Deutag’s scope
of operation will be maintained at a level tolerable to the company. Part 6 ensures that the
barriers identified in Part 4 (considering Part 2, Part 3, and Part 5) are effectively
implemented and that the effectiveness of the barriers will be maintained during the
operation of the drilling unit. The performance monitoring HSE Management objectives in
Part 6 must also be considered as barriers in the risk assessment in Part 4. To provide
assurance that KCA Deutag is managing HSE effectively, Part 2, Part 3, Part 5, and 6 are
applied in conjunction with a structured risk assessment process as described in Part 4.
The HSE performance is monitored in daily reports provided by the Toolpusher through the
Enhanced Drilling Reporting System (EDRS). The EDRS not only holds drilling operational
data, but also includes HSE related data to have the relevant HSE information on a daily
basis. This data can is also used to display HSE information graphically.
The HSE part of the EDRS is updated on a daily basis according to the rig specific HSE
records and contains the following HSE Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s):
HSE performance is discussed during operational (morning) meetings and HSE meetings at
the drilling unit and as part of the management meeting.
These documents give a summary of the incident reporting and investigation methodology
(that meet KCA Deutag’s, client, and regulatory requirements), including:
- Details of the potential incident criteria used.
- Information on the training provided for incident investigation team members.
- Information on the methodology adopted to identify incident causes.
- Arrangements for tracking action items arising from investigations to completion.
The process, how to use the cards, is described on the cards themselves. The cards can be
used as a guide to source unsafe situations, actions and equipment. The observation report
has to be documented on the back side of the card. Preventive actions can be proposed by
the observer.
The Toolpusher is responsible for the assessment and further handling of the discovered
observations and the proposed actions. In case of unsafe actions or unsafe situations, he
has to translate, technical, organisational and personnel HSE measures into actions and
initiate further actions through the operations management (is necessary).
SET stands for 'Safe, Effective, Trouble-free operations', for an example of a SET-card refer
to Appendix 99.02.61.
Monitoring lubricants
The amount of lubricants on site, used and discarded is monitored by the toolpusher in
accordance with the waste management system of KCAD.
Monitoring water
As far as possible, treated water shall be used instead of drinking water. If possible, a water-
treatment plant should be installed on site to purify the water.
The consumption of drinking water must be reduced to a minimum.
The consumption of water from wells or from the public supply system, as well as the use of
water from canals is documented in an emission report on behalf of the client.
The consumption of diesel fuel is recorded on a daily basis and can be used to calculate the
emissions.
In order to minimise the spill of fluids of the rig floor during the drilling process and the
tripping operations in a clean manner, collecting bins, such as drip pans and mud bucket are
installed. The driller is responsible for the use of the correct equipment and methods.
The client is responsible for the design of the drill site. The site needs to be sealed against
penetration by liquids into the ground. Surface spills would be collected by means of a
drainage system. If liquid-proof sealing of the location is not possible, special sheeting will be
laid out. If a spill occurs, it’s KCA Deutag’s procedure to remove the spill immediately and to
document the incident.
Monitoring of radioactivity
On locations where Low Specific Activity (LSA) exposure is possible, radiation meters will be
kept available. These instruments are provided by the client. Competent personnel perform
the measurements on the equipment pulled out of the borehole.
For the environmental impact assessment, refer to Appendix 99.02.36; document K-EU-HS-
WI-033 on Environmental Protection.
Details of the KCA Deutag's occupational health policy can be found in Appendix 99.01.02,
document K-CW-GR-PO-008. Objectives are given in Appendix 99.02.39, document K-EU-
HS-WI-013, which also gives details of the occupational health controls in the workplace.
Details of the arrangements for maintaining and applying Material Safety Data Sheets are
given in Appendix 99.02.38, the list of Hazardous Substances for the drilling unit, which
includes international instructions for the associated risks.
Operational Integrity Reviews & Operational Readiness Reviews (OIRs & ORRS)
shall be conducted to provide an independent review, assuring that the operations
are set up and managed in accordance with the KCA Deutag policies and standards
thus maintaining robust operational integrity and delivering safe, effective and trouble
free.
Refer to Appendix 99.02.53a; document K-CW-OP-PR-007, Operational Integrity Reviews
and Appendix 99.02.53; document K-CW-OP-GU-017 for the current Operational Integrity
Checklist
Refer to Appendix 99.02.59; document K-CW-ST-005 for the Area Safety Inspections and
Rig Site Visit Report K-LD-HS-FO-008 Appendix 99.02.09
Appendix 99.03.23 gives a list of the T-700 HSE critical equipment/systems and it’s criticality
rating. More details on the monitoring of HSE critical equipment/systems can be obtained
from the SAP system at the KCA Deutag offices in Bad Bentheim.
Appendix 99.04.08 gives a list of the HSE Critical activities/task and positions.
During operations, the rig is inspected regularly according to schedules set in internal rules
and instructions, through given tests, Planned Preventive Maintenance (PPM - more details
on PPM can be obtained from at the KCA Deutag offices in Bad Bentheim and at the drilling
unit) and by HSE inspections.
All improvement actions ('action list') are documented, so that the status of the execution can
be verified. The action list can be found in the BMS System – CATS (Case Action Tracking

NEDMAG B.V.
Description of Incident:
While waiting on new MWD tool, some maintenance and cleaning activities were planned, it was decided
to cover the cable and hoses on top of the Grasshopper with a tarpaulin. Therefore, a Toolbox Talk Risk
Assessment (TRIC) between the Driller, Ass. Driller and the Trainee Driller was carried out.
The Ass. Driller and the Trainee Driller started the task by using the cherry picker.
The Driller opened the sliding door what is usual if working in the no go zone to prevent equipment running
in sequence mode and monitored the task frequently.
After half an hour, the Rig Electrician came to the drillers cabin and asked if maintenance to the Pipe
Manipulator was possible. Some hydraulic hoses where not routed properly and needed to be
repositioned. The Driller and the Rig Electrician carried out also a TRIC and afterwards the Rig Electrician
started to prepare the pipe handling by bringing the pipe bins into RIH position and closed the sliding door
in order to test the system after completing the maintenance.
During the risk assessment (TRIC) between the Rig Electrician and the Driller, the risk of getting into
collision with the Work outside of the Rig floor (Cherry Picker) was totally overlooked. Both, the Driller and
Rig Electrician were aware that the Ass. -Driller and the Trainee Driller were working near the grasshopper
and within the no go zone above ground level.
The Rig Electrician moved a stand of drill pipe (5 1/2" Drill Pipe - 18m) from the pipe rack towards the drill
floor with the vertical pipe conveyer. While moving upwards, the pin end of the drill pipe touched the cherry
picker basket and slid off from one side of the vertical pipe conveyer and one end slid down onto the pipe
bin track (Barriered off No-Go-Zone)
Nobody was within the No-Go-Zone at ground level and got hurt. Minor damage to equipment occurred.
The Task was stopped immediately.
A Time Out For Safety (TOFS) was carried out with all involved and the pipe was lowered safely by
lowering the vertical pipe conveyer and using the winch as secondary retention.

4. Root Cause Analysis
Immediate Causes
Underlying Causes
• Two independent TRIC Cards were made for the tasks with the people involved in the
specific job.
• Picking up a stand of Drill pipe was not part of the initial plan and not mentioned on the
TRIC Card. (Maintenance Manipulator).
• Plan in respect to the maintenance of the pipe manipulator was changed and no TOFS
was executed.
• Possible consequences of the concurrent operations where underestimated.
• People in the basket did not notice that the Electrician switched the pipe pin bin from POOH
to RIH. They also did not recognise the possible danger involved of switching over from
POOH to RIH.
• Both parties involved could not see each other while performing their tasks.
• No verbal or radio contact between both parties while performing the tasks.
• Both parties were involved in their “own” task and lost focus on the other ongoing
operations.
Root Cause
Stopped the job. A Time Out For Safety (TOFS) was carried out with all involved and the pipe
was lowered safely by lowering the vertical pipe conveyer and using the winch as secondary
retention.
5. Corrective and Preventive Actions
• When operating the Cherry picker within the Red-zone area the use of all other machinery.
within that area should be prohibited.
• Use of the cherry picker within the Red zone only under work permit.
• In case non-avoidable, multiple operations have to take place within a Red-zone, a TRIC
must be performed with all parties involved in both tasks. For each, individual party
involved in the task a separate “Lock out – Tag out” must be used to prevent that
individual parties are able to disable the safety devices within the Red-zone.
• Proper communication between all parties is essential and is essential (Verbal or Radio)
• Always take a Time Out for Safety (TOFS) when diverting from the plan of action.
• Refresher training SLAM / Situational Awareness / Human Behaviour for all crews T-700.

Geachte heer Beste ,
Hierbij een ontheffingsaanvraag van Nedmag, voor de boring op VE-5. Deze aanvraag is eerder námens Nedmag
ingediend door van WEP en heeft het in de header genoemde zaaknummer.
Door onvoorziene vertraging bij het boren met van de 18 ½” sectie van VE-5, o.a. door problemen met de
boorvloeistof conditie, is het dat we niet volledig aan de in de mijnbouwregeling opgenomen termijn voor BOP
testen kunnen voldoen.
De vorige BOP test is uitgevoerd op 5 mei 2022. Op basis van de 3-wekelijkse termijn betekent dit dat 26 mei de BOP
wederom getest dient te worden.
De start van de 18 ½” sectie was op 6 Mei. Door twee falende Measurement While Drilling (MWD) tools en een
versleten beitel duurde het boren langer, maar tot de problemen van afgelopen weekend was de planning nog zo
dat de BOP getest zou worden binnen de gestelde termijn. We zijn de afgelopen dagen bezig met het conditioneren
van de boorvloeistof (werd onverwachts zeer viskeus), om daarna het gat uit te komen en de casing te runnen.
Het gat is nu al zo lang open en we willen de casing er zo snel mogelijk in hebben. De additionele 14 uur voor de BOP
test kan het verschil maken tussen een succesvolle casing run met cementatie en een casing die niet tot aan de
gewenste diepte komt met alle gevolgen van dien voor de rest van VE-5.
De BOP test zal uitgevoerd worden zodra dat kan, maar zoals gezegd dus niet binnen de 3-wekelijkse termijn.
Daarom wil ik u op basis van artikel 8.3.2.2 lid 4 vragen om een ontheffing voor de 3-wekelijkse termijn. Onze
overwegingen hierbij zijn:
1
Wekelijks worden de functies van de BOP getest, hierbij zijn geen afwijkingen geconstateerd
Het alternatieve scenario (BOP test uitvoeren/casing inbouwen) leidt niet tot lagere risico’s voor mens en
milieu
Tijdens het boren is geen gas geregistreerd
Tijdens het boren zijn geen verliezen geregistreerd
De overschrijding van de 3-wekelijkse termijn is naar verwachting beperkt.
Kijkend naar de laatste lookahead zal de BOP test komend zondag (29-05) uitgevoerd worden.

Geachte heer , beste
Zoals bekend zijn we bezig met het boren van 2 nieuwe zoutwinningsputten vanaf onze locatie WHC-1 in
Borgercompagnie. De eerste daarvan, VE-5, is bijna gereed. De zoutlaag ter plekke van VE-5 is inmiddels in kaart
gebracht. De samenstelling van het zout is voldoende om winningsput VE-5 te completeren en de bijbehorende
caverne te gaan ontwikkelen, maar onvoldoende om de tweede winningsput naar de nabijgelegen ondergrondse
locatie van VE-6 te boren, wat het plan was. We willen de tweede winningsput daarom naar de ondergrondse
locatie VE-7 boren.
We willen de winningsput graag VE-7 noemen. Dat is het meest transparant. Daarbij doet zich het volgende voor:
In de instemming met het Winningsplan 2018 staat artikel 5: Voor aanvang van de caverneontwikkeling van
de cavernes VE-7 en VE-8 dient Nedmag B.V. een analyse van de effecten van de winning uit de cavernes VE-
5 en VE-6 te overleggen aan de minister. Naar de letter zouden we de caverne VE-7 dus pas kunnen
ontwikkelen nadat zowel winningsput VE-5 als winningsput VE-6 geboord is en de effecten van de winning
uit de bijbehorende cavernes geanalyseerd zijn. Winningsput VE-6 wordt mogelijk nooit geboord en caverne
VE-6 wordt dus mogelijk nooit ontwikkeld. In dat geval zou o.b.v. artikel 5 caverne VE-7 nooit ontwikkeld
mogen worden en het boren van put VE-7 dus geen zin hebben. We vragen hierbij toestemming om eerst
caverne VE-7 te ontwikkelen i.p.v. caverne VE-6, met daarbij de afspraak dat voor aanvang van de
ontwikkeling van de cavernes VE-6 en VE-8, een analyse van de effecten van de winning uit de cavernes VE-5
en VE-7 overlegd wordt aan de minister.
In de omgevingsvergunning voor het boren van 2 winningsputten staan ze genoemd als VE-5 en VE-6. De
effecten voor de omgeving en het milieu zijn niet afhankelijk van of VE-6 geboord wordt of VE-7. We vragen
daarom toestemming voor het boren van VE-7, onder de vigerende vergunning voor het boren van de 2
putten VE-5 en VE-6.
De omgevingsvergunning voor het wijzigen van de inrichting WHC-1|2 is verleend voor het realiseren van
infrastructuur voor VE-5 en VE-6. Ook voor deze vergunning geldt dat het voor de omgeving en het milieu
niet uitmaakt of de infrastructuur gebruikt wordt voor VE-6 of voor VE-7, de infrastructuur blijft
onveranderd. We vragen daarom toestemming om de infrastructuur die gerealiseerd wordt voor VE-7 te
mogen gebruiken i.p.v. voor VE-6.
Op 31 mei jl. is het boorprogramma VE-5-S1 ingediend. VE-5-S1 heeft dezelfde target als VE-7. Het enige wezenlijke
verschil tussen VE-7 en VE-5-S1 is dat VE-7 vanuit de naastgelegen putkelder geboord wordt, i.p.v. vanuit de
verbuizing van VE-5.

Graag ontvangen wij op korte termijn de gevraagde toestemming. Het skidden van de boortoren naar de putkelder
voor de tweede put staat gepland voor eind volgende week.
