SENG 312 FINAL EXAM REVIEW
SimOps
L26 - Answer -Simultaneous Operations
What is SimOps?
L26 - Answer -Multiple companies with multi-disciplined workforces encompassing a
wide range of daily, 24 hour routine/drilling and well servicing operations, construction,
commissioning and startup and maintenance activities
SimOps Cycle
L26 - Answer -1. Identify SimOps
2. Kick off meeting identifying scope of work
3. Prep work specific summaries with Scope of Work and JSA's
4. SimOps Assessment Review
5. Develop SimOps interface document
6. Prep for SimOps
7. Carry out SimOps
8. Change or Deviation
Yes - Management of Change
No - Close Out
SimOps Scope
L26 - Answer -To conduct a Safety Review /Qualitative Risk Assessment of the
activities related to the Project
Risk Ranking Using Matrix
L26 - Answer -1. Examine the installation procedure
2. Identify hazards
3. For each upset scenario, determine likely impact or consequence
4. Risk rank based on DEL qualitative risk matrix
5. Risk = Consequence * Likelihood
Risk Management: Ranking and Response
L26 - Answer -A: No further action needed
B: Document risk studies/potential hazards; Consider additional risk measures
C: Document risk studies; Demonstrate that risks are ALARP and seek DEL VP HSE
concurrence if risk will not be reduced to lower ranking in a reasonable time frame.
D: Qualitative and quantitative risk analysis studies are mandatory; Risk reducing
measures are mandatory; demonstrate that risks are ALARP. DEL VP HSE and EVP
, Technical shall be required to authorize the deviation if risk will not be mitigated in a
reasonable time frame; Reduce risks reviewed annually
E: Document risk studies, potential hazards and risk reducing measures. Quantitative
risk analysis studies are mandatory; Identify additional risk reducing measures; EL VP
HSE, EVP Technical and CEO shall be required to authorize the deviation if risk will not
be reduced to a lower category; Annual review
SimOps Matrix Acceptability Criteria
L26 - Answer -Both ops can be performed simultaneously; PTW Compulsory
(A/B/[green])
Simultaneous Operations permitted however specific detailed procedure and PTW
Compulsory (B to D/[yellow])
Simultaneous Operations not Authorized (D to E/[red])
SimOps Manual Goal
L26 - Answer -Ensure that risks associated with SIMOPS activities are As Low As
Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) and that interferences between SIMOPS activities
eliminated.
SimOps Manual Key
L26 - Answer -Effective communications among field vessels and activities co-
ordinated by the FPSO
SimOps Manual Focus :Combined activities between:
L26 - Answer -1. FPSO (production) and MODU (drilling, well, completion, and
intervention)
2. MODU (drilling, well, completion, and intervention) and SV (MODU (drilling, well,
completion, and intervention)
3. FPSO(production) and a Special Vessel
Assessment of SimOps Activities - Ways to assess
L26 - Answer -1. Allowed (0) presents no additional hazard or risk
2. Not Allowed (X) presents an unacceptable level of risk
3. Restricted (R) subject to conditions outlined in SimOps Activity Sheets
SimOps Documentation
L26 - Answer -1. Application for SimOps
2. Implemented Actions/Control Measures
3. Conclusion of SimOps
