Using Surveys to Understand the Climate Versus Understanding the Culture of an Organization: Andrew Knight, Senior Manager, Asia Pacific, the REACH Group
This presentation will provide valuable insight into the benefits of using surveys, the steps needed to design a survey for accurate and meaningful data along with the implementation approach used on two semi-submersible rigs where the goal was to have a lasting effect on the organisational culture and ultimately the performance of the rigs.

Fatigue Counter Measures Offshore Light Treatment: Koos Meijer, Director, KM Human Factors Engineering, Martin Robb, Human Factors Applications
Operator fatigue is a major brain hazard and a serious safety hazard. It reduces brain performance, decision making, and overall alertness. This, in turn, increases human error risks on the work floor. Offshore light treatment using special blue-blocking sleep glasses and energy lights have proved to reduce fatigue levels and to enhance operator alertness and energy levels. This Human Factors innovation will raise HS&E and process safety to a new level.

10.30 Emerging Technologies to Improve Safety Operations
Session Chair: Jumasri B. Terimo, Head Wells Malaysia, PETRONAS Upstream

eWCAT – A Journey Into Integrity: Rahul Bhanot, Wells HSSE Manager, Shell Malaysia
In Shell Wells, it became clear – following a series of major industry disasters – that a shift in mindset was needed from “our wells are safe” to an assumption that our wells are unsafe unless we can proof that they are safe. While we had good coverage in our equipment, personal training and barriers, there was no simple central system to assess the status. Shell needed a further way to make standards visible, trackable and measurable. The solution was to build the electronic Well Control Assurance Tool (eWCAT). First implemented for deepwater wells in 2012, and then rolled out globally, eWCAT monitors and makes visible key metrics to measure discipline, compliance and make risk and management of change visible.

Data Analytics using Power BI in Oil & Gas – Readiness to Industry 4.0: PVN Chandrasekaran, Director, PetrelTech Pte Ltd
This paper brings limelight to the application of Data Analytics in the oil & gas industry with Power BI data modelling techniques. Thereby encourage embracing Big Data to improve business performance through prescriptive analysis on the processed data corresponding to drilling, production, well data, HSE & HR heading towards the business success.

Scenario Based Learning for DROPS in Virtual Reality: Joachim van der Meulen, Secretary & Facilitator, DROPS Asia
The drilling industry has been very successful in reducing dropped objects through engineered solutions as well as structural inspection programs. Despite this, it often remains the largest category of high potential incidents. Competency and attitudes towards safety are often major contributing factors when incidents occur. To raise awareness, competency and improve attitudes towards dropped object prevention, DROPS Asia are developing an highly immersive and interactive scenario based training program; as well as a virtual meeting space for subject matter experts to collaborate. First presented at the same conference in Malaysia in 2019, this presentation will provide an update as well as a live demonstration.

12.00 Luncheon, Open Exhibition & Poster Session

13.15 Panel: Workforce Attraction & Today’s Development
Moderator: Keith Kotval, HSQE Assistant General Manager, Japan Drilling Company

The rising activity and increasing number of rigs being brought into operation presents a challenge recruiting, developing, and retaining a skilled, competent and qualified workforce at all levels. With a constricted and limited pool of talent, how to manage it? How to expand it? Where to source these assets? What to prioritize? And, how to do it in a financially and sustainably judicious manner? If proper preparation prevents poor performance, then prudence propounds planning to mold the workforce of today and tomorrow.

15.15 Health
Session Chair: Alex Maroske, Head of QHSSE, Energy Drilling

CHOOSE LIFE: Davide Scotti, LHS Foundation, Saipem
While safety is a mandatory issue, health is not. A company cannot make people change their attitude towards their own bodies. It’s a choice they have to make themselves.
Choose Life is a program designed to support people in tacking this basic choice targeting some the issue most affecting health in the oil & gas industry: malaria, cardiovascular & sexually transmitted diseases.

Mental Health – ‘First Aid’ – Relevant Recent Cases and Outcomes: Dr. Jamon Ngoencharee, Chief Medical Officer, International SOS
Mental distress among offshore workers is difficult to detect, however studies have shown that psychiatric cases are responsible for up to 5% of total dis-embarkations to shore. The offshore environment poses distinct risk factors which may induce a new episode of exacerbate an existing condition. Offshore workers should have ready access to counseling services, programs to sustain mental well being and medical care including mental first aid.

16.45 Bow Ties
Session Chair: Alex Maroske, Head of QHSSE, Energy Drilling

Bow Tie and Barrier Based Risk Management: Bertrand David Barouti, Product Manager, QHSE and Enterprise Risk, DNV GL Digital Solution

08.35 Panel: Cultural Change
Moderator: Wayne Bauer, Director of QHSE, Vantage Drilling

As oil and gas companies adapt to changes in markets, stakeholder expectations and varied and new regulations, they are consistently being forced to develop new strategies and change their structures. However, for those changes to be successful, the organization’s culture needs to be in alignment with its strategy and its structure – a process that often requires a cultural change.

In this session, industry stakeholders, leaders and experts will share their insights and responses as they explore the industry’s embedded work processes, resources and solutions for achieving the desired cultural qualities.”

10.30 Drops
Session Chair: William Lai, HSE Leader Asia Pacific, Health, Safety & Environment, Baker Hughes

Recharging the Reduction in High Potential Dropped Objects: Sarah Molyneux, IG Wells Safety Manager, Shell
Dropped Objects have been a safety focus area for Shell for more than ten years as they have contributed to over half of all the high potential incidents recorded. In more recent years the underlying trend has been for dynamic dropped objects to be the source of these Hi-Po incidents. To recharge the reduction in Hi-Po dropped objects to include controls for this trend of dynamic dropped objects we are now on a successful journey to innovatively apply the same hierarchy of controls – elimination, substitution and engineering controls that were previously applied to static dropped objects.

11.00 WellSharp
Session Chair: William Lai, Regional HSE Leader Asia Pacific, Health, Safety & Environment, Baker Hughes

WellSharp Analytics and Knowledge Retention Study Results: Gerardo Barrera, Program Manager, IADC

Rig Equipment and Innovations_OPERATING RIGS: Bryan Dcruz, Managing Partner, Better Overall Subsea Specialists
Planning, Execution and Maintenance are the three contributors to assist with Non productive time. The question is not how “soon” can we get our assets operational? The question is how “long” can we keep them operational?

A New Ultra-Deep-Resistivity Tool for Geo-Mapping of Thin Oil Rim Carbonate Reservoir: Keng Hung Kok, Solutions Engineering Manager, Roslan Mokhtar, Mohd Nazmi Othman, Halliburton, Kwong-Tak Ha, Matthew Angelatos, James Pennell, Scott Goodworth, Mas Nur Afiqah Rabani, Muhammad Afiq Norehsan, Sarawak Shell Berhad
A new ultra-deep resistivity service mapped multiple, complex resistivity boundaries and fluid contacts in three challenging extended-reach wells, totaling 18,002 ft of 8½ in. horizontal section with minimal undulation within the +/- 5 ft TVD target window, with 99.4% run efficiency from 1,314 hours operating time which targeted oil reserves in a narrow 10 km × 2 km carbonate reservoir.
These wells targeting carbonate reservoir typically laced with fractures, vugs and karst were drilled with PMCD – Pressurized Mud Cake Drilling to mitigate potential total drilling fluid losses that could pose significant safety risk to personnel, equipment damage and loss of well.
