Fundamentals

Value Assets exist to provide value to the organization and its

stakeholders. Alignment

Asset management translates the organizational objectives into technical and financial decisions, plans and activities.

Leadership Leadership and workplace culture are determinants of

realization of value. Assurance

Asset management gives assurance that assets will fulfill their required purpose.

SAP Optimization

System Usage

Findings: System performance on the rig is slow and

inconsistent driving reduced usage. Number one concern of users.

Complexity is key frustration making training more challenging.

Solutions: SAP Mobile Platform (Syclo WM/RM) as means to

ensure optimal work execution interaction. (Currently, license owned by Noble)

Single page work order entry and completion screens.

13

Data/Process Governance

Findings: Assets, Hierarchy, Taxonomy, Maintenance

Programs all vary greatly across the fleet. No formal triggers or check-points within any

processes to capture and initiate changes to Master Data for assets and maintenance strategies.

Solutions: Define data standards for all asset types – Master

Data, Hierarchy, PM Plans, Task Lists and KPIs in SAP including trigger points in the processes.

Capture accurate and complete asset data for all equipment on all rigs across the fleet.

14

Data/Process Governance

Value: Sustained accurate, standardized data in SAP Supports “Copy and Apply” for all like equipment

across the fleet Supports Failure Analysis for Reliability Analysis,

reporting and monitoring of KPIs Efficient and effective execution of the correct

maintenance strategies for all equipment

15

Data/Process Governance

Value: Increased efficiency/effectiveness of resources Increased visibility into asset reliability and costs Increased accuracy of work history Improved interaction of all stakeholder groups –

Maintenance, Engineering, Operations, HSE Strategy development focused on critical assets

Performance Standards (PS) FocusCreating the “Golden Thread”

The revised PS format and content reflects Noble’s assessment of the critical PS information required for integration with Noble’s overall system comprising rig safety cases, SAP system, preventative maintenance (PM) plans, rig personnel training, and support documentation.

Our focus has been on the following two key performance standard definitions: “Performance standards are the parameters against which Major Accident Event (MAE) control

measures are assessed to ensure they reduce the risk to ALARP.” “Performance standards enable the operator to measure, monitor, and test the effectiveness of

each control measure and take corrective action based on deviations or trends.” Addressed in two ways:

High Level The Safety Case, the key section being the Bow Tie Diagrams which identify the control measures

for every MAE to reduce risks to ALARP

Working Level The equipment PM’s, containing the Critical Operating Parameters (COPs), which along with OEM

and Noble experience-driven maintenance requirements, provide clearly defined acceptance standards allowing measuring, monitoring, trending, and appropriate corrective action. In addition, the PM’s include function testing at appropriate intervals to detect deficiencies, thereby allowing timely corrective action.

Performance Standards Bridging Safety Case and PMs

20

The PS serve as a bridge between the PM’s and Safety Case.

The PS are based on OEM tech manuals, Noble practices, industry and regulatory bodybulletins and safety alerts, and contain clearly defined requirements for inspection, equipmentcritical operating parameter (COP) acceptance criteria, function testing, data recording andtrending, etc.

The PM’s are shown at the top of the PS because PM of safety critical systems are specific control measures that ensure these systems continue to function as required to minimize risk of hazardous events.

As such, Noble’s Best Practice Review (BPR) process is a high priority effort to ensure the PM’s fully meet their control measure function by providing all necessary critical information to maintenance personnel.
