IADCs Mission

•  
• IADCs 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
7
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 members 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

8
How were they developed?

• Underlying Safety Management System based on the
  IMOs 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

9
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

10
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 IADCs assessment that the SEMS rule
  constitutes a de facto requirement for a Safety
  Case

11
Recently Completed and Ongoing Work

• Completed Gap Analysis of IADC Guidelines against
  API RP 75
• Completed Gap Analysis of IADC Guidelines against
  BOEMREs 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)

12
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

13
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
