and
procedures
are always
C applicable.
Cells color coded Red indicate that operations or activities are not permitted whilst the adverse weather condition/SIMOPs situation exists or the SCE
D is impaired/unavailable or the critical manpower is unavailable.
The SIMOPS MOPO assumes that two or more major activities (e.g. production, drilling, major construction) are simultaneously performed in the same
E location/area. However, the works are undertaken on independent equipment items.
F The Impaired SCE MOPO assumes the operation is in the vicinity of or within the area impacted by the Impaired SCE.
When SCEs are in test mode, alternative controls shall be put in place to ensure their function is provided. Testing of these systems is not generally
G considered “impairment” for purposes of this MOPO.
In case multiple barriers are unavailable/impaired, the combined effects of the simultaneous failure on the activities are to be risk assessed as a separate
H activity outside of this MOPO.
MOPO is specific to scope covered in operation HSE case. In the event of conflict between MOPO and other instruction (e.g. PR-1172), DTL or his
I delegate will have the final decision recorded in writing.
MOPO Colour Coding description are as follows [Applicable for all facilities]
Y Go conditions - Operations or activities are permitted subject to compliance to normal controls and procedures.
() Proceed with caution conditions - Operations or activities are permitted subject to additional specified controls being implemented. Normal controls
and procedures are always applicable and to be complied.
N Stop conditions - Operations or activities are not permitted while adverse condition remains, or SCE is impaired
Additional controls required as indicated in the MOPOs (coloured amber) shall be listed and these are specific to operation HSE case scope. Work shall
only be carried out under the formal control of the Permit to Work (PTW) system, including component elements such as plant isolation certificates, vessel
entry certificates, hot work permits, etc. All applicable procedures and work instructions relating to the work to be undertaken shall be complied with.
Where necessary, the requirement for undertaking risk assessment shall be noted. Measures shall be taken to maintain risks at ALARP and the
effectiveness of the measures shall be verified. All actions involving bypassing the safeguarding systems shall be authorised as per PDO standards and in
consultation with relevant discipline technical authority.
Examples of the three MOPOs (Adverse Weather, SIMOPs, and SCE Impairment) follow. During MOPO assessment related to SCE /critical manpower
impairment, project should consider impairment of applicable fire protection related SCE’s in line with SP-1992.These shall be used as guidance for
construction of a new MOPO or for review of an existing MOPO. The notes within the MOPO are intended to support rather than supersede the specific risk
assessments required. For a MOPO to be effective it must provide clear concise information to the Operator of immediate action to be taken under the
specified conditions, e.g. if working at height is ongoing and wind speed increases, he needs to be able to quickly see when to stop the activity in question.
