FOREWORDColleagues,

In 2014 we completed around 100 million man hours of work at our well locations and continued to make progress in keeping the people that we are responsible for out of harms’ way; maintaining the trend of last five years with a further reduction in our Total Recordable Case Frequency.We also made progress on process safety through delivery of our improvement program although we did see an increase in Barrier Event

Frequency at a global level. All of our achievements in this area are a result of your hard work and safety leadership and for that I would like to thank everybody involved.

This ‘Wells Process and Personal Safety Roadmap 2015 - 2017’ has taken stock of what we have achieved and our underlying performance resulting in a more focused improvement effort, with four key focus areas: Dropped Object Prevention; Barrier Ownership; Emergency Response and Contractor Safety Management.

On personal safety, despite our efforts to prevent dropped objects, we are still not where we need to be. We incur one dropped object every day in our operations and in June one of our contractors was fatally injured as result of a dropped object. In 2015 we will focus on the rigorous implementation of controls for lifting and hoisting activities, especially crane and tubular running operations. On process safety, we still have to ‘finish what we started’ on our emergency response

capabilities. This is about having consistent, comprehensive and tested source control plans that are aligned with the countries we work in. Building on our ‘Think Process Safety’ campaign, the next step in developing a process safety culture is about ensuring staff in safety critical roles understand, own and maintain safety critical barriers. Finally, in delivering our business, we rely a lot on contractors, and as such, we will focus on assuring our contractors are meeting their contractual requirements and the requirements of their own management systems and safety programs.

I would encourage all of you to reflect on your role as a safety leader and to work with your teams in improving our safety performance in the areas discussed. With a focus on effective implementation on these four themes we will accelerate our progress towards Goal Zero.

Best Regards

Peter Sharpe Executive Vice President Wells

INTRODUCTION

The above triangle explains the way we manage safety in Wells:

■■ The Wells HSSE & SP Manual, released in December 2014, sets the foundation requirements to manage HSSE & SP risk areas in our wells activities. The Wells HSSE & SP Manual describes how Wells will comply with the requirements of the Shell Group HSSE & SP Control Framework.

■■ The Wells Personal & Process Safety Roadmap 2015 - 2017 (this document), describes the global priority improvement themes to drive more effective implementation in achieving world class safety performance.

■■ Acknowledging that there could be differences in the areas we operate, specific targeted assistance through Focused Interventions will be developed to respond to specific risk areas.

The Wells Personal and Process Safety Roadmap 2015 - 2017 comprises four strategic themes. These strategic themes and supporting actions have been informed by an analysis of our underlying personal and process safety performance, and addresses the areas of highest risk to Wells. There is focus on fewer priority improvements to enable more effective implementation. It is expected that these efforts will span several years, and the roadmap is reviewed annually to assess the progress being made and to adjust to changes where required.

The actions in 2015 based on this Roadmap represents the safety agenda of the Wells Business Improvement Plan 2015 and the Joint Improvement Plans 2015 that are signed with key contractors.

OUR PROGRESSPERSONAL SAFETY

Over the past 5 years, significant effort has been dedicated to building a culture of compliance and intervention around personal safety.

■■ Total Recordable Case Frequency (TRCF) has substantially reduced over the last decade, despite a significant growth in our wells activities. As depicted in the chart above, between 2006 to 2014, the Wells TRCF declined from almost 6.0 to 2.2, aligning our TRCF performance closer to the Group.

■■ Hand and Finger injuries make up approximately 50% of our Lost Time and Recordable Incidents. Although not completely eliminated, the injury trend has improved from wearing mandatory impact resistant gloves and adoption of Hands-Free working practices (ABC Guide to Hands Free Working) on our sites.

■■ On Temporary Pipework, we have made progress in the implementation of the Temporary Pipework Manual, especially in the use of safety restraints on our pipework, elimination of 2” Fig 602 and 1002 unions from our operations and use of P&ID diagrams for walking the lines.

■■ On Dropped Object Prevention, risk to people has been reduced through the progress made in implementation and enforcement of Red Zones & No-Go Zones.

However, there remains concern with regards to trends in our Dropped Object Incident Frequency (DOIF). Despite the focus over the last five years, we still encounter a dropped object incident almost daily in our operations.

■■ Tragically, in 2014, one of these dropped objects led to a fatality. Learning from this incident include the need to address shortcomings in our lifting and hoisting capabilities and in the effective management of our contractors and subcontractors. Gaps in Contractor management has also featured as a common finding in recent LOD2 & LOD3 audits.

■■ Over the last two years the frequency of dropped objects has slowly reduced. However, the frequency of High Potential Dropped Object Incidents (RAM 4+ severity potential) has increased significantly compared to 2013. In 2014, we have experienced more than 200 dropped object incidents, of which 90 incidents were high potential and could have resulted in a fatality. (Statistics correct up to end Oct 2014)

■■ A detailed review of data by hazard type revealed that incidents related to Dynamic Dropped Objects represent over 75% of our high potential dropped object incidents. Examples: top drive hitting the rig floor, a stand of drill pipe falling across the derrick and hitting and breaking a light resulting in the light falling to the rig floor, lifting and hoisting activities and tubular running operations. As such, a focused improvement effort is required to address this to complement the progress made on preventing static dropped objects.

PROCESS SAFETY

Wells process safety is about keeping the hydrocarbons in the pipe, the well or the reservoir. Since 2010, we have undertaken a number of significant process safety improvements, as depicted in the bowtie (Figure 4) and we can take stock of some of these improvements.

■■ On People, we have strengthened staff competency through the implementation of the Round II Diploma for our more experienced staff. Additionally, we developed and rolled out Advanced Well Control programs. We have now assessed the competency of our Technical Authorities (TAs), HSSE Leaders and Front Line Barrier Managers (FLBMs).

■■ On Standards, we have released a number of safety critical manuals (Pressure Control, Casing & Tubing Design, Cementing and Management-of-Change (MoC) and PSBR11 for Deepwater Well Design among others.

■■ On Equipment, subsea BOP reliability has increased. We have taken delivery of Shell owned capping stacks, and the industry through Subsea Wells Response Project (SWRP) has also completed delivery of capping stacks.

■■ The use of eWCAT (Electronic Well Control Assurance Tool) has allowed us to gain transparency on compliance levels to company standards for people, equipment certification and performance and barrier verification. Similarly, eWIMS (Electronic Well Integrity Management Systems) has provided transparency on our wells compliance to preventive and corrective maintenance schedules.

With much of the improvements on the left side of the bowtie now completed or well underway, the focus is now shifting to address:

■■ Maturing the ‘recovery’ barriers on the right-hand side of the bowtie, to ensure that these too are effective and auditable.

■■ Building a process safety culture where individuals in the front line know, and maintain safety critical barriers, which we call ‘Barrier Ownership’. ‘Think Process Safety’, launched in 2013, is the first step to help staff and contractors gain an awareness of the ten critical areas that will most directly influence wells process safety. This also involves influencing the industry through OGP, COS, IADC and others.

■■ Our Barrier Event Frequency (BEF) has trended upwards over the past two years (Figure 5). More than 60 percent of Barrier Events related to Completions and Well Intervention (CWI) activities. Where efforts to create awareness with Think Process Safety had previously prioritised drilling operations (WE), it is imperative that the same awareness and expectations are stepped up on Completions and Wells Interventions (CWI) activities.

The Way FORWARDOUR VISION

GOAL ZERO - Incident Free WorkplaceThis means that there should not be any fatalities, serious injuries or significant process safety incidents in the places where we work.

OUR SAFETY ROADMAP

In order to achieve this vision, a Safety Roadmap 2015 - 2017 has been developed comprising of four strategic themes:

THEME CASE FOR ACTION GOALS FOR 2015 - 2017

DROPPED OBJECT PREVENTION

Over the period 2013 - 2014, there has been a significant increase in Actual and High-Potential Near Miss Dropped Object Incidents Frequency, despite joint efforts with contractors

Zero fatalities and recordable cases as a result of dropped objects and a reducing trend in RAM4+ potential dropped objects incident frequency.

BARRIER OWNERSHIP

Continue to build awareness on process safety culture. Barrier Event Frequency (BEF) has trended upwards over the past two years, with more than 60 percent of Barrier Events related to Completions and Well Intervention (CWI) activities.

Industry leading process safety performance through effective utilization of bowties and implementation of barrier ownership

EMERGENCY RESPONSE

When incidents do occur, we must be able to substantially mitigate the consequences. This requires recovery barriers to be well-defined, tested and verified as effective.

Consistent, comprehensive and tested Source Control Plans with visibility of shared resources within Wells and aligned with Country Emergency Response Plans

CONTRACTOR SAFETY MANAGEMENT

Jointly put in place sufficient controls for managing the risks in our activities. Learning from recent incidents reveal shortcomings in the effective management of our contractors and subcontractors

Contractors deliver improved HSSE performance (incl. Process Safety) by taking ownership of effective management of HSSE risks.

CASE FOR ACTION

A fatality occurred in our operations in 2014. Learning from this incident include the need to address shortcomings in our lifting and hoisting capabilities (part of dynamic dropped object prevention). Dropped Objects remain the highest potential risk area for personal safety in Wells. Over the period 2013 - 2014, there has been a significant increase in Actual and High-Potential Near Miss Dropped Object Incidents Frequency, despite joint efforts with contractors.

GOAL

Zero fatalities and recordable cases as a result of dropped objects and a reducing trend in RAM4+ potential dropped objects incident frequency.

FOCUS AREAS

Based on incident causal analysis and in consultation with wells operations teams, the following actions are expected to help lay the foundations to achieve our goal.

■■ Sustain the gains with effective on-site implementation of Static controls and Red Zone/No-Go Zone Management. Effective Red Zone Management is key as it ensures that people are not ‘in the line of fire’ when an object falls.

■■ Improve controls related to Dynamic Dropped Objects: Lifting and Hoisting, Transporting Objects with Cranes & Trucks, Pipe & Casing running and Derrick Travelling Equipment.

■■ Improve adherence by Contractors to structurally and effectively embed DROPS and Lifting and Hoisting controls in their management system and organization capabilities.

CASE FOR ACTION

Over the period 2013 - 2014, there has been an increasing trend in Barrier Event Frequency, with more than 60% of these incidents related to our Completion and Well Intervention (CWI) activities. Where in previous years, process safety awareness efforts primarily focused on drilling activities (WE), a step up is required on the CWI activities.

‘Think Process Safety’ has been used successfully to communicate simple and consistent messages to leaders and front line teams. The next step to building a process safety culture is by making it personal, that is for people in safety critical roles to understand and take ownership of their safety critical activities.

GOAL

Industry leading process safety performance through effective utilisation of bowties and implementation of barrier ownership

FOCUS AREAS

■■ To sustain the gains made with ‘Think Process Safety’, communication tool kits will be enhanced.

■■ Wells Master Bowties will be developed for well control (initially for 2 cases: drilling with deep-water MODU, and rig-less CWI). The ongoing pilots to operationalise barriers on the bowtie will rollover to the Wells Master Bowties once available.

■■ Teams will be provided with training on how to use the bowties and contractors are expected to establish their own internal self-assessment and assurance processes to demonstrate that barriers are implemented and effective.

CASE FOR ACTION

Increasingly complex wells are being drilled, completed and worked over. Over the period 2013 - 2014, there has been an increasing trend in Barrier Event Frequency. Much improvement has been realised in the barriers for keeping hazards within control. But when incidents do occur, we must be are able to substantially mitigate the consequences. This requires recovery barriers to be well-defined, tested and verified as effective.

With the adoption of the Incident Command System (ICS) for emergency response by the Shell Group, there is a need to integrate existing plans in Wells with the Center of Expertise for Emergency Response (CEER) and Oil Spill Expertise Center (OSEC).

GOAL

Consistent, comprehensive and tested Source Control Plans with visibility of shared resources within Wells and aligned with Country Emergency Response Plans.

FOCUS AREAS

■■ For Deepwater Operations, define Source Control Master Plans which comprise of the following elements. Ensure staff are trained and verify capabilities:■■ Cap & Shut-in Plans■■ Cap & Flow Plans■■ Well Control Contingency Plans, as defined in the Pressure Control Manual

■■ For all Wells Operations, define Well Control Contingency Plans and ensure that this is linked to Country Emergency Response Plans. Verify capabilities.

CASE FOR ACTION

We rely on our contractors for the safe delivery of our wells. The right balance needs to be consciously struck between Shell and our contractors to ensure that we have jointly put in place sufficient controls for managing the risks in our activities. Learning from recent incidents reveal shortcomings in the effective management of our contractors and subcontractors. Gaps in Contractor management has also featured as a common finding in recent Line of Defense 2 (LOD2) and Line of Defense 3 (LOD3) audits.

Contract Holders and FLBMs need to be made aware of basic requirements for Contractor Safety Management as defined in the Wells HSSE & SP Manual. This is the primary means of control that should be exerted. We should expect our contractors to take more ownership be held accountable for safe delivery.

GOAL

Contractors deliver improved HSSE performance (incl. Process Safety) by taking ownership of effective management of HSSE risks.

FOCUS AREAS

■■ Contract Owners and/or Contract Holders (CO/CH) are responsible for managing contract performance. Strengthening Contract Holder capabilities through dedicated Contract Holders for priority contracts and provision of specific training on minimum requirements will help drive better safety and business performance.

■■ Ensure that Contractors adhere to their own procedures, by supporting contractors in developing and implementing their own self-assessment and assurance activities. The effectiveness of such system will be verified via joint audits and assessment.
