Regulations 1

HSE Standards Worldwide

International accepted and local norms has to be considered during building drilling rigs.

European rig builders have also to consider European laws and regulations

API

From the standalone machine to the complete Rig Rig Systems

Functional Safety Based on

Assemblies of machines

Rig Equipment

The “standalone” machine API / CE / ATEX Processes

GOST/DNV if applicable

The Rig

Summary of Rig Systems

Innovative HSE Management considers HSE Aspects from the single machine up to the complete Rig

and interaction with each other

Conformity Process • CE-Conformity Process

• European Machinery Directive

• CE- & ATEX Marking

• Design According to API

• Optional DNV/GOST

• Country of use – regulations?

• Risk Analysis

• 200 – 500 specific norms

The Risk assessment process covers all life phases of the product:

1. Building 2. Shipment 3. Rig up 4. Commissioning 5. Maintenance

6. Operation 7. Repair 8. Rig Move 9. Out commissioning 10. Disposal

Risk Assessment Process 2

Risk Assessment – Rig Equipment – Example: Top Drive

First Choice: Avoid the risk!

Last Choice: Warning signs within

documentation

1st Assessment result: 5 = not acceptable risk!

New Assessment result: 3 = acceptable!

If the identified risk is higher than 3, actions must be taken to minimize risk!

DROPS Prevention 3

• Implementation of DROPS Prevention in the Bentec Engineering Standards

• Internal Workshops in regular intervals

• Working Engineering Standards: – Fundamentals

– Sensitization of the Engineering Team

– Examples how to design

– Examples how not to design

– Examples of Accidents with Dropped Objects as a result of bad design

– Review of the Engineering within the Risk Assessment

DROPS Prevention during Engineering

• DROPS Register will be created besides the Risk Analysis

• Identification

• Fastening Solution

• Photo to show the as-build status

DROPS Register

• DROPS Register will be used during commissioning

• Each area will be checked prior to shipment.

• DROPS Register will be implemented as a part of the technical documentation

DROPS Prevention during Commissioning

Final Conclusion

Innovative HSE Management at drilling rigs means: 1. European Regulations for machines

forming a proper base for building machines.

2. Living processes for risk assessment brings the equipment to higher HSE Levels

3. The Equipment on its own got a high HSE Level because of European regulations & DROPS Considerations

4. Starting DROPS Prevention during the Engineering Process

5. Complete rigs got now comprehensible HSE Assessment Processes
