10:30-12:00 Panel Discussion: Enhancing Operational Integrity for Drilling HSE Excellence
Moderator: John Karish, Ensco International Incorporated

In this current economic climate, budgets are tight and funding scarce. Are operators concerned that contractors may potentially cut back on maintenance, training and development, and other factors critical to operational excellence? If so, how can operators and contractors work together to address these critical issues?

The 2009 MODU Code – How Has It Changed?
Alan Spackman, IADC
In November 2009, the Assembly of the International Maritime Organization is expected to adopt an updated version of the IMO Code for the Design and Construction of Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODU Code). The process by which IADC sought to influence the development of the new MODU Code is described and the presentation provides an overview of the significant changes that can be expected in the new Code.

Human and Organizational Factors Effect on Safety Barriers in Well Operations
Eivind H. Okstad, SINTEF, Folke Sxrli, Exprosoft, Beate Riise Wagnild, Jon Espen Skogdalen, Stein Haugen, Jorunn Seljelid, Safetec Nordic AS, Snorre Sklet, StatoilHydro, Jan Erik Vinnem, University of Stavanger
A model for quantifying operational barrier performance in petroleum production has been developed. The work has been performed in close relationship between research institutes, universities and the petroleum industry. Experiences are shared from applying the model to the area “drilling and well operations”. Early findings indicate that the planning and preparation activities prior to operation are the most effective means of handling operational safety factors influence on risk.

Water on Board: Drinkable or Not? Bacteriological Quality of Potable Water and Legionella
Tjarda den Dunnen, C.A. Averink, Hatenboer-Water BV.
Despite of what people believe, the bacteriological safety of (potable) water is not an obvious fact. Water is a food product and vulnerable to deterioration. The water processes on board platforms have to be managed, and the water needs disinfection to assure bacteriological safety and the health of the crew.

We will demonstrate how our supervisors have taken their learning and action plans resulting from the program back to their rigs and the impact it is having on our performance.

Knowledge Management Playbooks Part 2 – Enlisting Help and Disseminating the Message
David Kulakofsky, Halliburton
Knowledge management will be more critical than ever during the next 5 to 10 years, as the industry will lose through retirements a large portion of those with the most experience due to. This is a follow-up to last year’s presentation and will cover the dissemination of collected knowledge and the field impact of Halliburton’s methodology to deal with this upcoming inevitability.

Case Study: Learn How DONG Energy Has Done Extensive Improvements to Their Emergency Management Plan by Using CrisWare’s Interactive Platform
Troels Munck, CrisWare A/S, Bjarne Siir Hansen, DONG Energy
An HSE Advisor from DONG Energy explains how they have managed to improve their training by bridging the gap between theory and practice. The improvements have been achieved with the aid of a joint-simulation tool, which has also helped DONG to visualize potential gaps in their process training and emergency plans. As a result DONG is able to do weekly full scale training at their own facilities, including comprehensive evaluations, at no extra cost, and without impacting the production.

The Development & Impact of Training Activities of E&P Offshore Staff in the North Sea

13:30-14:30 Safety Culture
Moderator: Joep Beijer, KCA DEUTAG

Drilling Rigs and Aircraft Carriers: Is There Anything to Learn from the Most Dangerous Acreage on Earth?
Brian “Bru” Brurud, Check Six, Inc.
Arguably, the aircraft carrier flight deck is the most dynamic and dangerous real estate on Earth. In this environment, there must be a simple mechanism for rapid change management, acceleration of learning, and a framework in which to operate. Most importantly, there must be a culture of crosschecks, mutual support, and oversight. This high-energy presentation will show the similarities between drilling rig and aircraft carrier operations and how carrier based naval aviation has evolved to manage risk, develop leadership and accountability. This is an extraordinary leap toward ‘Incident Free Operations’.  

High Profile Visit: An Efficient Tool in Improving Drilling Safety 
Mustapha Nasreddine Boucif, Medhat Salem Ahmed Al-Habsi, ADCO
During the past two decades drilling safety had been improving on an exponential basis from the reactive era to a proactive era, culminating in world-class HSE performance for ADCO’s Drilling Division in 2006. A new strategy was adopted in 2008 after a slowdown in performance in 2007. High-profile visits to all rigs to reinforce top management commitment to safety resulted in an outstanding performance in 2008. The resulting LTIF was 0.09, the lowest in ADCO drilling history. 

14:30-15:00 Networking Break & Open Exhibition

15:00-16:00 Safety Management II
Moderator: Gert-Jan Windhorst, Noble Drilling (Netherlands) BV

Holistic Risk and HSEQ Management
Gisle Bråstein, Synergi Solutions AS
By facilitating for standardization, verification and enhanced transparency, well-structured information systems can bring value to the Risk & HSEQ Management processes. Further it makes internal control and reporting easier, more accurate and timely. Leading companies in the oil & gas industry are now gaining valuable experiences by consolidating their tools and methods in this area. These companies are claiming they are able to reduce indirect costs by improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the operational risk and HSEQ management processes, and to reduce their direct cost by controlling the overall risk level preventing loss from unexpected events. 

Managing Safety in Difficult Times - What You Can Not Measure, Is Difficult to Manage
Jason Vidovich, George Siokos, EDN, The Enterprise Development Network
EDN will use new research and experience to show how hard and measureable evidence can be made available to assess safety improvement needs and the impact of safety improvement interventions. There is a link that can be made between lead and lag indicators with behavioural observations that also add value to making productivity improvements- a particularly important focus for many leaders today as they try and meet production and safety targets at the same time.

16:00 Adjournment

Unassigned Papers of Note:
The following paper proposals will be included in the conference if a scheduled paper becomes unavailable. In addition, these presentations will be made available in the IADC conference proceedings, should the author so desire.

Drilling Waste Elimination by Application of Micro-Emulsion Technology
Mark Zwinderman, John Harrison - Surface Active Solutions Ltd
The application of micro-emulsion technology at the drill site allows for near elimination of drilling waste. By using the micro-emulsion technology in combination with automated tank cleaning systems, cleaning time can be reduced by over 60%, and the produced drilling waste volume by up to 90%. By applying the technology similarly in downhole cleaning operations, the formation of liquid drilling wastes can be prevented and an easily handled waste results that can be separated in oil, clean water and re-usable solids. Solid drilling waste can be washed using micro-emulsion technology and disposed off safely on-site.
