IADC’s Mission
• IADC’s mission is to improve industry health, safety and
environmental practices; advance drilling and completion
technology; and champion responsible standards, practices,
legislation and regulations that provide for safe, efficient and
environmentally sound drilling operations worldwide. IADC holds
Accredited Observer status at the International Maritime
Organization and the International Seabed Authority, specialized
agencies of the United Nations. The Association is a leader in
developing standards for industry training, notably its Well Control
Accreditation Program (WellCAP)® and rig-floor orientation
program, RIG PASS® among others.
IADC HSE Case Guidelines
http://www.iadc.org/hsecase/index.html
Goals for the IADC Guidelines
•
Provide good industry practice for structured
procedure for an enterprise to assess and manage
risks
•
Provide a good industry practice that, if followed,
will provide a case for safety acceptable to
member’s clients
•
Provide a good industry practice that, if followed,
will provide a case for safety acceptable to
regulators
•
Reduce proliferation of differing approaches by
new Safety Case adoptees
How were they developed?
•
Underlying Safety Management System based on
the IMO’s International Safety Management (ISM)
Code (SOLAS Chapter IX)
•
“Best Practice” amalgamation of requirements
from national legislation and regulation on safety
cases, e.g, HSE, PSA, NOPSA, etc.
•
Incorporation of industry standards and oil
company practices for hazard identification and
control
•
Updated in consideration of changes to regulatory
requirements and industry standards
Most Recent Updates
• Updated December 2010 to address
identified shortcomings with respect to:
• Bridging arrangements
• Particular risks of deepwater wells
• Evaluation of routes used to access
Temporary Safe Rescue (if provided)
and evacuation systems
BOEMRE SEMS Final Rule
• Safety and Environmental Management System of API
RP 75 incorporated by reference
• § 250.1911 – You must ensure the development and
implementation of a hazards analysis (facility level) and
a job safety analysis (operations/task level) for all of
your facilities. For this subpart, facilities include all
types of offshore structures permanently or
temporarily attached to the seabed (i.e., mobile
offshore drilling units . . . .
• It is IADC’s assessment that the SEMS rule
constitutes a de facto requirement for a Safety
Case
Recently Completed and Ongoing Work
• Completed Gap Analysis of IADC Guidelines
against API RP 75
• Completed Gap Analysis of IADC Guidelines
against BOEMRE’s SEMS Final Rule
• Working with API to develop the API - IADC
Well Construction Interface Document (WCID)
• Developing text of proposed amendments to
the IADC Guidelines to address identified
gaps for consideration at annual Users Group
meeting (30 September – Amsterdam)
US-Specific Enhancements
• API - IADC Well Construction Interface
Document
• Traditional HSE-Management System
bridging arrangement plus:
• Well basis of design
• Well execution plan
• Critical well activity risk assessments
• Similar efforts being considered in other
regions
Conclusion
IADC is committed to:
• Facilitating sharing of lessons learned
from the Montara and Macondo incidents
• Working with U.S. industry stakeholders
to facilitate WCID and HSE Case
understanding and implementation
• Working with industry stakeholders in
other regions to enhance safety through
development of good industry practice on
bridging arrangements
