Abstract
Ikike is an undeveloped field located 20km offshore and approximately 15km north of the Amenam complex in 20m water depth. The Amenam field which has been producing since July 2003 is located approximately 60km southeast of the NLNG Plant and 95km Southeast of Port Harcourt and the water depth range from 30 to 40 meters.
The Ikike project leverages on the existing Amenam facilities to keep costs low and is designed to minimize greenhouse gas emissions. Estimated at less than 4kg CO2e/boe, they will contribute to reducing the average carbon intensity of TotalEnergies’ upstream portfolio.
Given to the inherent hazard and risk associated with Oil & Gas projects from Conceptual phase to Front End Engineering Design studies, to fabrication and constructions as well as installation and commissioning, HSE management system becomes pivotal to driving an incident free project phases.
This Paper focuses on the sound application of the Project HSE Management strategy, plan and system which comprises a set of components that includes;
Project HSE Policy and HSE objectives,
Identification of the risk involved in the Project activities,
An organization within which the HSE responsibilities are clearly defined,
Competent and trained personnel,
Internal and external communication.
Practises and processes formally defined in the project documentation,
Evaluation and reviews of Project HSE performances,
Correctives action plans and periodic management reviews,
An HSE audit program
All of these were deployed during the Ikike project towards demonstrating and providing a means of anticipating and controlling the risks involved in the Project which had continuously improved the HSE performances all through the project in conformance with project improvement goals set for the Project.
Several other proactive and reactive measures were taken towards ensuring a success story of Ikike Project with a total of 6milliom man hours of No Lost Time Incident.
