Welcome to the first edition of the World of Seadrill magazine in 2018.

2017 was a busy year for us and we have delivered some of the best operational performances in our history. We are continuing with our restructuring and will emerge from Chapter 11 midway through this year.

We are always aiming to better our safety standards and are now better than the industry average for safety performance. The West Castor has achieved four years LTI-free which shows that we are continually setting high standards and exceeding our customers’ expectations.

We continue to differentiate ourselves from our competition through innovation and technology. The digital rig, Insight, Enhanced Primary Well Control, MPD and RAMP all show how we are continually improving our young fleet so that it is one of the most technologically advanced in the oil and gas industry.

RAMP is midway through its user acceptance testing (UAT2) and we will soon launch Maximo. The West Capella

has become the first rig in our industry to get an ABS notation for Managed Pressure Drilling, which is an excellent achievement. Everyone involved in accomplishing this should be very proud.

We are also doing a lot of work with big data through our digital rig project. Everyone should be very excited about this as it is revolutionary in our industry. The digital rig means that we can now use the data that we collect 24-7 to make our rigs safer, more predictable and more efficient. Having live data on our rigs really is the future of the oil and gas industry and we can proudly say that Seadrill will be leading the way in this.

I hope you enjoy this edition of the magazine and have a great start to the new year.

“The digital twin will make our rigs safer, more predictable and more efficient”

Supply Chain Visit Rig in ThailandMembers of the Africa Middle East and Asia sub-region Supply Chain team made a visit to T16 in October last year.

T16 is a barge-type rig contracted to Chevron, currently drilling off the south coast of Thailand.

Supply Chain hopes that the visit will allow the Bangkok-based team to build a more personal working relationship with the offshore rig teams. They believe this should, in turn, contribute to an improvement of their internal communications and processes, making them more efficient in their day-to-day activities.

Anchalee Suratechawanich, rig buyer for T15 & T16 said, “During the two-day visit I learned about the offshore-related activities within the drilling process and I have come away with a clearer knowledge and understanding of the drilling equipment and rig personal functions. I also now have an appreciation for the various rig site operations in addition to our safety practices that we adopt on the rig.”

The West Castor has been operating in Mexico for ENI since December 2016 and in November last year it achieved four years LTI-free.

Diana Garduza, QHSE Advisor for Mexico, believes this achievement was down to everyone who worked on the West Castor. Due to their focus and dedication to safety everyday they were able to accomplish this goal.

“Congratulations to everyone aboard the West Castor for completing the last four years LTI-free! It takes every single person to dedicate him/herself to safe operations to accomplish this amazing achievement! Thanks for being Seadrill Safe!”

West Castor Celebrates Four Years LTI-Free


news

Safety performance in the drilling industry has continued to improve over the last 20 years. however, the industry has plateau-ed as we have strived to reach our goal of “Nobody gets hurt”.

In the past, we celebrated ‘years LTI-free’,but we are starting to expect to achieve this so we have raised our expectations. The industry’s focus is on ‘years recordable-free’but for some of us, it is about hurt-free days

The Personal Safety Balance and setting the standard.

Seadrill’s journey is similar as we have improved our safety performance over the past 2 years (see figure 1) to the point that we are ahead of the industry average but we still need to do more to become the best. We continue to have high severity events that have resulted in 6 LTI’s and 8 RWC’s year-to-date.

We must continue to discuss, raise awareness and build our Seadrill Safety Culture around operational discipline;

following our procedures and processes and taking the time to do the job right the first time. However, when we talk to our

customers and the regional regulatory agencies we hear another message, a message of concern and unease. The Petroleum Safety Authority (PSA) in Norway has embarked on a “Reversing the Trend” campaign to raise awareness and drive an improvement in Norway.

Our customer conversations are moving towards Operational Integrity and Operational Integrity Events (OIE). Although the concept of Operational Integrity is not new to our industry, we have not raised discussion and developed awareness in the way we have with Personal Safety. We must

develop ways to measure Operational Integrity performance so that we can identify risks, drive improvements and operate in the same way we have done for Personal Safety. Operational Integrity needs to be part of our daily discussions.

The Big 5 highlights our exposure to losses that exist on our day to day operations. Operational Integrity reporting enables us to report an Operational Integrity Event Frequency (OIEF) in a way similar to how TRIF has been reported for personal safety.

Our Chronic Unease message is aimed at raising awareness about acting on weak danger signals and fighting complacency. Also operationalising our barrier management through our new maintenance system (Maximo) so that we can conduct control of work meetings and evaluate the barrier function of our systems.

ABS Group Issues Industry’s First Managed Pressure Drilling Notation to SeadrillWe are very happy to announce that Seadrill has become the first company in our industry to receive an MPD notation for the West Capella. This is an amazing achievement and everyone involved in the process should be very proud.

American Bureau of Shipping Group (ABS Group), issued a managed pressure drilling (MPD) notation awarded to the West Capella, as it demonstrated system compliance with the ABS Guide for Classification and Certification of Managed Pressure Drilling Systems (MPD Guide).

“As the industry drills in ever more complex and challenging environments it is essential to integrate MPD technology with existing systems – safely – to improve efficiency and effectiveness. ABS worked closely with Seadrill and equipment manufacturers, verifying MPD systems and equipment met design and safety criteria outlined in the ABS guide,” said ABS Executive Vice President, Global Offshore, Kenneth Richardson.

“Seadrill is excited to be the first to achieve the ABS MPD Notation. It was a team effort working in collaboration with ABS and our MPD technology providers. Gaining this distinction demonstrates our readiness to drill safely in the difficult pressure regimes in deep water reservoirs.”, said Chief Operating Officer, Leif Nelson.The recently issued ABS MPD Guide was developed after an extensive review by many industry stakeholders including operators, drilling contractors, original equipment manufacturers and regulatory agencies, and it incorporated lessons learned implementing MPD systems on multiple rigs, helping reduce the chance of incidents, enhance overall system reliability, and promote global safety.

The West Capricorn and West Saturn will be granted the same notation in Q1 2018 when installation of theMPD equipment is completed. Also, the West Tellus and West Carina were upgraded prior to issuance of the new notation standard. However, as the

modification process fully complied with ABS requirements they will also be granted retrospective notations in Q1 2018.

This is amazing for us as a company and we see this as brilliant way to differentiate ourselves from our competitors. This shows that we are leading the way in new technologies and that we are continuing to set the standard for the industry.

American Bureau of Shipping Group (ABS Group) is a leading international classification organization devoted to promoting the security of life and property and preserving the natural environment through the development and verification of standards for the design, construction and operational maintenance of marine and offshore assets.



We have one of the youngest and most modern fleets of all the major offshore drillers. Our aim is to ensure that our operation remains the safest and most efficient and to this end we are harnessing the huge amounts of data our rigs collect when they are operating and analyzing this data to improve our performance, making our operation even safer and positioning ourselves as the most efficient operator in the industry.

We have been developing a data solution for some time now to help us unlock and utilize this data that our rigs collect 24-7. Following an extensive search, we have formed a partnership with The Marsden Group and Microsoft to develop a customized bespoke solution for Seadrill called ‘the digital twin’. This partnership is a key differentiator for Seadrill and should help place us ahead of the competition.

Marsden is famed for its speed of execution and has been recognized by Microsoft for its innovative capabilities, which is why we are so pleased to be working with both of them.

“We are living in a technology revolution, where companies and industries worldwide must adapt to a new way of operating. At The Marsden Group we partner with companies that are embracing change, utilizing our speed of execution to help create and deliver ground breaking solutions.

“We partnered with Seadrill as we shared a renewed vision for the future of offshore drilling. We want to be able to utilize first mover advantage and enable Seadrill to lead the way in how modern technology can genuinely transform offshore drilling.

“One such example is in our ‘Digital Twin’ solution. Imagine being able to know if equipment is going to fail before it does or how to instantly improve operational efficiency, whether in drilling or in supply chain. This is a vision that is becoming a reality, from any device, in any location and in real time. The technological revolution has arrived, and together with Seadrill we are excited not only to embrace it, but to lead it.” – Andy Pratt, President of The Marsden Group.

Working with big data will be a key differentiator for us as it will help us make numerous improvements across our fleet. If we can break down our operations and make each individual aspect of them better, it can help make a significant impact on our overall performance. The digital twin will help us make these improvements so we can ensure that we have the best performance of all the major offshore drillers.

This digital platform that we are building with the Marsden Group uses Microsoft technology. We are also working with current Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM’s) to find ways to integrate their insight into our unique Seadrill smart solution which, will bring many benefits to us such as:

Digital Twin

The Future of Seadrill

• Better operational performance• Better technical performance• Predictive maintenance• More intelligent decision making• Greater certainty with well planning

The Digital Twin



The use of digital technologies is transforming the oil and gas industry as

many companies are currently working with big data and seeing how this can improve

their business. This is why Marsden’s bespoke solution for us is so exciting as it will

help differentiate us from all other companies in the industry. It is made for Seadrill with the help

of our own experts who fully understand how our business works and what needs to be done to

improve our operation. We can also see how all our rigs are performing certain operations and see which one is working in the best, most

efficient way. This allows us to compare and learn from the best rigs so that all others can improve their performance in line with this standard.

“It is important that we always focus on delivering operational excellence for our customers as well as maintaining high safety standards. The digital twin will allow us to deliver wells faster and more efficiently while being able to maintain the highest levels of safety in the industry. We can learn more about our operations and make better informed decisions based on the information we will obtain from the digital twin,” said Leif Nelson, Chief Operating Officer & SVP.


This solution will help make our rigs more efficient as we will be able to drill wells faster and more predictably, while maintaining the highest levels of safety and efficiency.


11 months, 3 continents, 18000 kilometers: A year in the life of the Sevan Driller


From September 2016 until July of this year, the Sevan Driller travelled from Salvador Do Bahia in Brazil, past Cape Town and Mauritius, up to Singapore before finally resting in Kemaman, East Malaysia. It was an epic journey, with many challenges for the crew to overcome along the way.

We are working through one of the worst downturns the oil and gas industry has ever seen and it is

important that we stack our rigs in a way that means when they do get new work we can easily

reactivate them. As we are not allowed to stack rigs in Brazil we had to stack the Sevan Driller elsewhere. As the Sevan Driller needed a skirt upgrade we decided to take it back to China, where it was built, so that work could be done and we could then stack the rig.

On September 9, 2016, the Sevan Driller set off from Brazil to its planned destination, the COSCO shipyard in China. It connected with a tugboat called ALP

Centre in Salvador da Bahia and it took four and a half weeks to get to Cape Town, which was the first planned stop. In Cape Town, the tugboat was changed to the ALP Striker, and following discussions

with Total, the Sevan Driller deviated from its original planned route to carry out a set of dynamic positioning (DP) trials approximately 100 miles off the southern coast of South Africa. In late October, instead of heading to Mauritius as planned, the Sevan Driller set off to the BRULPADDA well on the edge of the Agulhas bank.

After rounding the southern tip of the Agulhas bank, the tow encountered 40+ knots of wind and 7 to 8-meter-high waves. Moving against a current speed of 3.5 knots, the captain of the ALP

Striker initially canceled the operation as the conditions were considered too challenging to carry out the work.However, the Sevan Driller crew managed to convince the captain to do the trials in the current

position, despite the extreme weather. During the trials, the rig stayed in full DP with the tugboat up against a bollard pull of 200 tons down-current! The trials were successfully completed in a total of forty-eight hours which is a fantastic achievement.

Because of the bad weather and strong currents, the rigs course had to be changed again so that it could get within helicopter range of East London, South Africa, and additional personnel could disembark.

Three weeks later the Sevan Driller arrived in Port Louis, Mauritius. Just before leaving here for Singapore, the destination of the COSCO shipyard in China was canceled as it was very busy and we could not stack our rig there. Singapore was therefore, made the end of the tow, where an alternative destination to cold-stack the rig would need to be found.

The Sevan Driller arrived in Singapore on December 8th and put to anchor at the Western OPL (outer port limit) Anchorage. While located here, all drill pipe, risers, slip joints, draw works, the main block and the dolly, including the drill pipe from the West Taurus and West Eminence, were back-loaded. The DAT cylinders were removed using a 20T air operated chain-hoist and sling, which were long enough to get the cylinders above the rotary table. Bilge sludge and slop tanks were cleaned and phase one of cold-stacking the drilling equipment on the rig had begun.

In early January, the Malaysian Coastguard boarded the rig claiming that it was in Malaysian waters and tried to collect fines for the rig being there. Luckily, after some phone calls from Dubai to an agent for Crystal Offshore in Singapore, the fines were removed.

While sitting offshore in Singapore, the Sevan Driller was awarded a contract with ONGC, and preparations began with Jurong shipyard to get the rig re-activated. The company later decided, however, not to proceed with the contract and so the search to find the Sevan Driller a home continued.

9 ISSUE 1 2018 THE WORLD OF SEADRILL 9 ISSUE 1 2018 THE WORLD OF SEADRILL

There was a wide range of ports for cold-stacking the rig including: Johar, Baru, Singapore, Batam, Labuan Anchorage, Subic and the Philippines, which were all possible options. Kemaman in East Malaysia was also considered but no stacking had ever been done in the port so there was no regime set up for stacking in that area. Although the quayside at Kemaman had more than eighteen meters’ draft, this became the preferred option as the rig would be able to berth without having its thrusters removed.

Everything was in place to move from Singapore to Kemaman in June but just before the move, agents advised that the rig would attract a goods and services tax (GST) in Malaysia.

Finally, after several days of discussion with authorities and in liaison with all parties involved, the Sevan Driller was given permission to mobilize two units (the Sevan Driller and West Orion) to Kemaman without involving a GST.

On July 18th, the Sevan Driller departed from Singapore and arrived into Kemaman port on July 22nd to start the final phase of its cold-stack after an eventful eleven-month voyage.


RAMP

On Monday, November 20th, the RAMP team kicked off another successful round of User Acceptance Testing (UAT2), involving testers from over 20 rigs participating in London, houston and Dubai. The purpose of UAT2 is to test Seadrill’s new Asset Management tool, Maximo, not only to check that it is fit for purpose, but also to try and break ‘the system’ and find defects.

Finding defects with any IT system is an important part of the process, as it ensures that anything that is not working can be fixed prior to the tool’s going live.

Over the three weeks of testing in both London and houston, nearly 80 colleagues from across the business – Asset Management, Supply Chain and hSE - were tasked with completing over 450 ‘real world’ scenarios or test scripts from Scope A.

To ensure Maximo is compliant with local regulations and class regulators, a Management of Change case is under development in Synergi.

The MOC case includes:

• The new standardized location structure, which identifies Safety Critical, Environmental and Operationally Critical equipment• How Seadrill is risk assessing the planned

maintenance• A gap analysis to bridge the differences between IFS and Maximo.

During the first round of UAT earlier this year, colleagues tested most of Maximo’s basic functionality such as General Navigation, Corrective Maintenance and Preventative Maintenance and saw a 77% ‘pass rate’. The objective of this testing was to ensure that Maximo was fulfilling the brief, and that the RAMP team was developing a tool fit for purpose.

The objective of UAT2 is to achieve a much more in-depth and broad testing of the system and to ensure that all Scope A functionalities are ready for Go Live. At the time of writing, UAT2 week 1 concluded with a ‘pass rate’ of 81%, good positive feedback on the functionality and importantly - no significant defects.The RAMP team now shifts its focus to

preparation activities to finalize the build and complete the steps necessary to ‘cutover’ from IFS to Maximo. This includes the technical setup of the systems on and offshore, loading data from IFS into Maximo, developing training materials, testing the final functionalities in UAT3 and getting the business ready for Go Live when Maximo will be rolled out to West Neptune in early 2018.

To assist with the rollout and to ensure all Seadrill colleagues transition smoothly from IFS to Maximo, a comprehensive training and implementation plan has been developed. The training materials and support include:

• RAMP Engineer coaching and support – 2-3 RAMP Engineers (Maximo experts) will come on board every rig prior to and during Go Live to train key users and provide support while colleagues get to know the new system.

• Quick Reference Guides (QRG’s) – over 100 step-by-step user guides demonstrate how to complete or action key functions and processes in Maximo. Each rig will receive a printed copy of the QRG’s as well as access to an online QRG Library.• Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) – answers to common questions covering all elements of the RAMP rollout from Go Live logistics to Maximo functionalities.• Face-to-face training – heavy users will receive in depth, full immersion training from the RAMP Engineers prior to and/or during Go Live.

• 3 weeks of Hypercare – following the rollout of Maximo, each rig will have onshore support services available via phone and email to assist with any questions or queries.• e-Learning – Hosted in SkillsVX, short e-Learning videos have been developed that give a general overview of how to complete or action key functions and processes in Maximo. SkillsVX is an online host website that stores and records Seadrill e-Learning and its completion and can demonstrate compliance.

Start Safe

Start Safe 2018 is a new campaign being launched by HSE to highlight the five phases of Seadrill’s ‘task process’. Seadrill’s primary hSE goal is that ‘Nobody Gets hurt’ and its expectation is that every phase of the task process must be followed for every task, to ensure the safety of your colleagues at all times.

Work related injuries decreased in 2017 and we finished the year with a TRIF of 1.65. In 2018, we have set a target of 1.5 TRIF

which means with our current operational rig count, we cannot afford each rig to have a recordable injury (a severity of MTC or greater) throughout 2018.

To Start Safe in 2018, all tasks must have a “plan”. All plans must have a clear objective and must be understood by the team carrying out the task. All tasks must have a “debrief” to capture lessons learnt. If something is not right, you must call a “time out for safety”.

Neil Forrest, vP Operational Integrity, said:

“The frequency of work-related injuries and DROPs year-to-date shows improvement, however we must remain highly focused to ensure we meet our target of 1.5 TRIF by year end. Everyone on a rig, including crew members, third parties and visitors, must commit to Start Safe, and understand that no task shall be carried out without following the five phases of the task process.”
