Well planning is one of the most demanding aspects of drilling engineering requiring integration of engineering principles, HSE philosophies and learnings from incidents. Although well planning methods and practices may vary but the key objective is a safely drilled well meeting operational requirements. As per Drilling HSE requirements, well development is subjected to Site Specific Safety Plan (SSSP) and the purpose of this Site Specific Safety Plan (SSSP) is manage risks associated with release of well bore gases or fluids and to ensure a quick and effective response to emergencies that can be implemented. A web based Electronic Well Delivery Process (e-WDP) was developed to facilitate generation of SSSP using QRA data base for efficient and fit for the purpose SSSP.
