Company operated 7 rigs during the period on 2011 – 2016. The drilling and completion operation are categorized as offshore activities by using submerge swamp and jack up rigs. Approximately 100 wells were drilled with 4 million man hours in average within a year. The challenges are the high proportion of direct involvement of human resources with equipment and materials, turnover of personnel and various educational background levels of the workers. In 2014, there were 11 recordable injuries where 4 of them are Lost Time Injuries (LTI). Based on the incident analysis, the root causes are mainly related to inadequate supervision and leadership.

In order to enhance and maintain the safety performance, there are two categories of intiative i.e.

  • HSE culture / communication in order to maintain personnel awareness on safety

  • Audits and inspection in order to monitor and control the operation

The Rig Action List (RAL) is monitored to ensure no compliance and conformity issues. The Drilling Manager performs regular reviews planning, action lists, objectives and targets as part of the HSE Management System implementation.

Well Construction (WLC) Division reached 2.5 years without Lost Time Injury (LTI). The safety performance record is an outstanding result, considering the magnitude of the drilling operation on site.
