Wood Group

Mustang Bringing aStrong Lineup

Wood Group Mustang is comprised of several companies that have

operated under either the Wood Group or Mustang banner and have

individually made a mark of excellence, with experience and successful

project results across a broad spectrum of the global energy industry.

As of January 2012, six companies, including newly acquired ISI Solutions

of South America, will be operating under a new brand, combining skill

sets, resources and geographic expertise to deliver added value to our

clients. The component parts of Wood Group Mustang are varied, and

each has a record of contributions to the industry that marks each as a

leader in the markets they serve.

MUSTANG

As Mustang celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2012, the companys

philosophy is as consistent today as when it started. Our People Oriented...

Project Driven culture focuses on taking care of people, providing

support for the communities in which it works and delivering technicalexcellence to clients.

Mustangs industry reputation grew as its service offerings

expanded throughout the 1990s. Mustangs service offerings

expanded into pipelines, onshore oil and gas facilities, refining

and chemicals, industrial facilities and automation and

control systems. Offerings for LNG facilities and

ecological solutions, including renewable energy were

also added.

9/52

In 2000, Mustang became part of Wood Group, a highly respected

Aberdeen-based energy services company whose business model

and culture closely matched that of Mustang. Since then, Mustang

has expanded globally, opening offices in the U.K., India, the Middle

East, Latin America and South East Asia in order to expand its

international presence.

Mustang now has over 5,000 Mustangers and operates in eight

countries. It has delivered numerous world-class projects, many of

which have been considered first, deepest or largest and were

reflective of Mustangs ingenuity and experience. Mustang has

also been repeatedly recognized as one of the Houston areas top

places to work and ranked number one in employee appreciation

categories.

ALLIANCE ENGINEERING

Alliance Engineering is a perfect complement to Mustang in

serving the deepwater, shallow offshore, and onshore pipeline and

facilities markets. Like Mustang, Alliance provides engineering,

procurement services, project management and construction

management to its clients.

Founded in 1993 and part of Wood Group since 2000, Alliance

provides a full range of engineering disciplines with expertise in

process, electrical, instrument, mechanical, civil, structural. In

addition to its Houston operation, Alliance has offices in Denver

and Pittsburgh to bolster its significant presence in the pipeline

facilities industry and established a visible presence in the dynamicMarcellus and Utica shale plays with unconventional gas reserves

in the northeast U.S. and Appalachia.

Alliance is a leader in delivering advanced designs as a major

player in the concept development of single-lift, lightweight topsides

production facilities for deepwater platforms. The advantages of

these designs - schedule reduction, full utilization of deck space,

lower installation costs, and faster installation and hookup have

been embraced by operators.

Alliance has also demonstrated ingenuity on floating production,

storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels, including the Cascade/Chinook,

the first FPSO design approved for installation in the Gulf of Mexico.

Alliance designs have been incorporated into more than 20 world-

class FPSO projects with operators and vessel contractors.

For the pipeline industry, Alliance has designed and installed over

two million horsepower of compression, over 1,000 miles of

pipeline and over 50 mainline meter stations over the last ten years.

GLOBAL PERFORMANCE

In early 2006, Mustang acquired Global Performance, a Greenville,

South Carolina-based engineering firm that provided project

management, construction management and design services to the

chemical, automotive and industrial markets. Global Performance

offers a diverse and track-record on non-energy projects and

provides in-house contract engineering services to notable interna-

tional chemical and life science companies. Additionally, it has

established a reputation for outstanding project performance on

the design and construction management of vehicle assembly

The Mustang Greenville office has continued to add synergy to our

focus on the process and industrial sectors of the business, making

inroads into industries such as pulp & paper, pharmaceuticals,

cement and general manufacturing.

One of its most recent successes is the involvement in the grass-

roots final assembly facility for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft

in Charleston, South Carolina. Global Performance provided the

construction management and project management for the massive

642,000 square-foot (59,000 square meter) main production facility

as well as an aircraft interiors manufacturing, equipment mainte-

nance facility, delivery center where customers take possession of

the plane, and a welcome center at the gateway of the sprawling

industrial campus.

But do they have enough torqueto close your critical valves?

You might have to choose between muscle or footprint with other actuator manufacturers, but you dont need to sacrifice

anything with Emersons Bettis pneumatic scotch-yoke actuators. Our G-Series has a very efficient modular lightweight

construction with an optimal center of gravity for applications where weight and space are important. For the same torque

output requirement, Bettis G-Series is typically 1/3 lighter and smaller than our competitors offerings. In addition, we

understand accurate torque output is critical for SIL or fail-safe operations. Our G-Series has guaranteed torque outputs in

spring-return models to 3 million lb-in and double-acting configurations to 6 million lb-in. PED97/23/EC, IP66 and IP67M

compliance allows Bettis actuators to be used in just about any service onshore and offshore.Learn more about compact, yet powerful, Bettis pneumatics.

A PersonalTrainer?

Do You Need

WHY do you need a personal trainer in

the first place? Isnt physical fitness and

exercise a private affair? For many, the

answer is yeswell get to that later. But more and

more people are opting to enlist the aid of a personal

trainer, and they do so for the same reason that

someone who is furnishing a living room might call inan interior decorator for advice.

Having a personal trainer can have several

benefits. First, and most obvious, you get personal

attention. That means the exercise regimen can

be tailored to your specific health needs and your

personal goals. Plus, it gives you the advantage

of having a professional who can provide expert

guidance. Compare it to this: How many of us, as kids,

learned to play the piano or guitar all by ourselves?

True, some are self-taught, but many if not most had

a personal trainer. The same is true with physicalfitness. Whether your goal is to lose weight or just to

tone up, a personal trainer might be able to help you

accomplish your goals.

Some find that having a personal trainer gives

them motivation. After all, now theyre accountable

to someone person. They cant just say, Ill start

tomorrow. And trainers are more than people

who just call out the number of repetitions

you should do. These are people who can

work with your specific agenda. But how do

you find a trainer whos just right for you?

Writing in Bottom Line, personal

trainer Joe Sweeney (who is also the

author of a book entitled I Know I ShouldExercise, But ) suggests that you set up an

appointment with your prospective trainer. In

a 20- or 30-minute discussion, find out his or

her area of expertise. What experience does

this trainer have with your age group and

fitness level? You should not have to pay for

these appointments, Sweeney says.

There are several other things to

look for in a trainer. For example, what is

his or her certification? If you want quality

assistance, your trainer should have a four-year degree in some type of fitness-related

field. You can even ask to see a copy of

any certificate he may have. Look into his

liability insurance policy, too, while youre at

it. Any good trainer will not hesitate to offer

you a written contract, spelling out all fees

and conditions of your program.

Make sure that any trainer you are

thinking of enlisting is prepared to tailor

his workout to your abilities and goals.

He should start by assessing your health,

nutrition, fitness and medical history, writes

Joe Sweeney. He may test your body-fat

percentage, flexibility and muscular strength.

The trainer should be a great listener and take

into account what you hope to gain from your

workoutsweight loss, more stamina, better

posture, etc.

But a caution is in order. Not all

trainers are created equal, says Barrett

Niehus at the web site alltrainers.com. He

recommends: You should choose a personal

trainer using the same criteria that you use tochoose your personal physician. After all, the

personal trainer is a health care professional

that works by preventing disease. Evaluate

the trainers background, their qualifications,

their references, and their ability to

communicate and relate to your needs. You

are looking for a professional that will suit

your needs and be able to help you achieve

your goals.

A PersonalTrainer?

Of course, personal

training will cost. One

program sets the price at

about $40 for a half hour

session and $60 for a full

hour. Rates are lower if

you sign on for a longer

term, perhaps 20, 50, or

75 weeks, and lower still

if you share with someone

elsein other words, one

trainer to two clients.

Another route is

to look into an on-line

personal trainer. A

number of web sites offer

personal advice tailoredto your personal goals and

informationbut its all

done by e-mail. Not bad

its semi-personal, and

its only semi-costly! For

exampleand this is just

one examplefor about

$30 per month, Desert

Valley Personal Training

offers a personal program

every four weeks. Theseprograms are completely

individualized based on

your goals and health information, asserts trainer

Ryan Crandall. Ill be beside you all the way with

unlimited email support.

All told, the process of choosing a personal

trainer need not be difficult. There are hundreds of

extremely qualified and professional personal trainers

out there, writes Barrett Niehus. The choice merely

requires a little homework and something more than

pulling a trainer off the floor of your local health club.Your personal trainer is your employee, and you are

paying him/her to help you achieve a goal. If you are

willing to pay money to become fit, why not choose a

professional that will make you succeed?

You can start your search for a personal trainer

at your local health club, or you can investigate web

sites like freetrainer.com or ustrainersearch.com.

Also, check out the web site of the Personal Trainers

Marketing Association (alltrainers.com).

Do It Yourself?But cant you do all this yourself? As men-

tioned at the outset, some can. The challenge is to

know which regimen is best for you and to keep moti-

vated. So if youre going to try to be your own personal

trainer, here are some tips from Dr. Miriam Nelson

from Tufts University, as printed in Bottom Line:

Work out with a friend. If someone else is

counting on you to be there, youre less likely to miss

a workout.Make a realistic schedule. Whether you

exercise every day for 30 minutes or 30 minutes three

times a week, make sure its a schedule that is practical

for you. If you set unrealistic goals, Dr. Nelson says,

youll quit.

Put it in writing. Chart your progress. Check

off each day on your calendar after youve completed

your exercise. Better still, keep a detailed exercise log,

including the date that you exercised, how long you

worked out, and what routine you performed. Charting

your progress will motivate you to maintain your

program, Dr. Nelson says.

Dont pamper yourself. Monitor whether a

routine is too easy, just right, or just plain too hard.

Exercise wont do you much good unless you work out

at an appropriate level of intensity, says Dr. Nelson. So,

just as a personal trainer would push you to a realistic

limit, ask yourself: Could I have exercised for a longer

period? Should I have included more difficult exercises?

Of course, if your limbs are heavy or sore after a

workout, your intensity level might be too high.

There are three types of workouts that you can

include in your program: Aerobic exercise, strength

training, and flexibility training. Aerobic training

includes jogging, bicycling, or brisk walking. This is

great for increasing the heart rate, though you should

be careful never to overexert yourself. Strength training

focuses on muscle strength and function by lifting

weights. You should start at a moderate level, because

movements that require all your strength can cause

injury to the bones and muscle. Flexibility training

involves stretching, which will expand the motion rangeof your joints.

Whether you choose to enlist the help of a

personal trainer or choose to be your own personal

trainer, a good exercise program will help you to look

and feel your best!

tudies of major accidents in process facilities indicate

that most result from the simultaneous occurrence of

multiple and seemingly minor errors and incidents

that interact in complex and unforeseen ways. (1)

Hidden errors and conditions that can occur during

the Safety Instrumented System (SIS) or facility life-

cycle can be referred to as Blind Spots and are often recognized

as a significant contributor to a major accident. Red Flags are

also a common prelude to a major accident. As an aid to revealing

Blind Spots, an awareness of common Red Flags may be helpful.

Projct excutionTodays typical large scale engineering projects have sizeable

teams that interact with many organizations and companies. In a

relatively short time they can generate thousands of documentsand a huge increase in project data communicated through many

different media. Quality checkpoints are added at key points, but

schedule compression can increase error rate and challenge this

process. Compression on fast track projects can result in late design

changes, delayed decisions and extended approval cycles. Quality

checks become less effective if performed at the wrong time or

under stress, so errors can be missed. It might be a purchase order

with a single digit error in a lengthy model number so that the

wrong material is procured. A person with essential technical

knowledge misses a key meeting. An inspector overlooks an

important detail at a factory check. Undetected errors can occur

in the engineering data exchange between companies if the data

exchange protocols are not well defined or managed.

Construction projects have a higher number of personnel who work

within a physically more hazardous environment. Onsite decisions

are constant, so errors can occur. Items dont f it, material cannot

be located or a key person in the communication channel is absent.

The transition from construction to pre-commissioning and startup

involves handoffs of many documents and status reports, all oppor-

tunities for missed information.

Safty Assssmnts

Safety assessments, such as Hazard and Operability Studies(HAZOP) identify hazards and quantify their respective risk. A

hidden deficiency in this process can result in hazards that are

missed or incorrectly assessed, especially if the team is missing key

technical, operating or maintenance expertise. (2) For example,

combustion and process experts are needed to assess the complex

impact of a major fuel gas drum swing on multiple f ired vessels

across the facility. Without this expertise, assessment may fail to

consider all modes of operation, common mode failures, process

response time or the complex scenarios that can result when a

PRoceSS SAFety: ANDBlind SpsRd Flags

major upset occurs in a shared utility system, e.g., steam, instrument

air or cooling water.

tehnlgyNew technology and new designs often create unforeseen challenges,

as when industry embraced open systems. The Microsoft Operating

System became a standard component in many control systems,

but there was an unforeseen risk of installing frequent software

patches to correct security holes and software stability problems.

There is increased exposure to destructive viruses of the type

recently revealed as the Stuxnet virus. (3) When control system

vendors press users to upgrade application software

and hardware to ensure future product support,

these upgrades often have subtle and undocumented

technical and performance differences. Implementing a

change before it is fully tested introduces an unknown

risk. If a facilitys software backup and recovery

procedures are inadequate or not followed, the wrong

program or an outdated version may be loaded.

High Integrity Pressure Protective Systems (HIPPS)

are increasingly being used to reduce project cost or

increase production. A well designed and managed

HIPPS offers safety benefits, but is high tech solution

and replaces a low tech solution that is well under-

stood. Management of HIPPS and other SIL 3, high

integrity safety systems require a mature, disciplined

and technically talented organization for the duration

of the systems lifecycle. Because a SIL 3 system is typically

implemented to mitigate a high consequence safety hazard, its

failure or degradation can result in a major accident.

Human FarsHumans will make mistakes. A well designed system avoids or

minimizes less reliable human activities. Process or activity errors

increase when humans are under tasked, over tasked or placed

under stress. (5) Human error is not random but is now understood

to be systematic. When presented with a problem, humans tend to

develop a mental model of what is happening and select data that

supports that model, ignoring non-supporting data. This flaw can

contribute to major accidents. As a counter point, humans oftenprovide the only safety response to a previously unknown hazard

event.

organizainOrganizations undergo continuous change and can contribute to

blind spots. A seemingly subtle change in priorities, staffing,

training, work process, safety culture, age, technical expertise or

tools can significantly affect process safety as it interacts with

other modes.

When a SIS progresses through its lifecycle, the Safety Requirements

Specification (SRS) provides the essential foundation document

needed to define and maintain system integrity. Figure 1 summarizes

the information included in this document. An inadvertent change

in any item can degrade or disable one or more Safety Instrumented

Function residing in that safety system. Mapping each data element

to the department, technical discipline or organization charged with

its creation or management provides an indication of the potential

challenge. The opportunity for hidden errors and changes increase

when elements are distributed across organizational boundaries.

Figure 1 Safety Requirements Specification (SRS)

operains and MainenaneOperating modes may exist that are below the radar and therefore

not assessed from a safety and risk perspective. For example, a

facility may regularly have a manual bypass valve open around a

control valve to increase throughput, or an operator tweaks a

mechanical stop on a fuel gas valve changing a process heaters

minimum firing rate. Operator use of safety system bypasses may

become a common and casual act that is not tracked and goes

unnoticed.

Off-the-books repairs and undocumented software changes may

be implemented in response to a problem that occurs during anunscheduled maintenance callout. Spare parts used may not

actually meet the Replacement in Kind requirement of PSM or

the more rigorous requirements in ANSI/ISA codes. Changes may

be made without employing or controlling a Management of

Change process.

Risk Aepane creepIndividual risk tolerances can shift when faced with an immediate

decision on whether to proceed or revert to a known safe state.

40


41/52

Risk acceptance or denial can increase. The conse-

quence of taking a def initive safety response is

typically known, including the operational and fiscal

impact. The consequence of no action or a delayed

response is less certain. The decision to proceed or

shutdown reflects the decision makers understanding

of the companys management expectations, safety

culture, priorities and training. This phenomenon,

in a slightly different form, can occur during the

engineering phase of a project when a tight schedule

conflicts with the time needed to finish a safety-

critical assessment or quality check.

Accident InvestigationsAnalyzing and identifying the root cause of a near

miss or accident is an essential element in a safety

management program. , In the past accident investiga-

tions often sited operator error as the root cause.

The new, broader theory often traces the root cause

to a management, organization or system failure in

which humans function (4). Those employing the old

approach (still commonplace) overlook where the true

weakness in their systems exists, so similar accidents

may re-occur.

Management and LeadershipAll organizations, whether project teams or operating

facilities, face the dichotomy of balancing process

safety with production, cost and schedule demands.

By words, actions and examples, management and

safety leaders demonstrate their expectations. Subor-

dinates interpret this message and bias their actions

and attitudes accordingly. Given the challenges of

communications in large and complex organizations,

a few misunderstood words or an ambiguous or

conflicting message may degrade the process safety

attitude of employees. Many companies are imple-

menting behavior-based safety programs that have

been very effective at reducing injuries and accidents,

but these same programs may be less effective at

revealing or mitigating errors caused by technology orproject execution blind spots. Assuming that a given

safety program sufficiently encompasses the full

breadth of the safety management challenge may,

itself, be a serious blind spot.

Red FlagsSeveral blind spot modes have been discussed, but

complete listing of possible blind spots within

each mode can fill volumes. To limit their accident

4


42/52

contribution, an awareness and acceptance that blind spots exist

is essential. Another important element in a safety management

program should include an awareness of the Red Flags that often

precede a catastrophic accident. Management and safety leadersshould give pause when they hear the following-listed words; they

may have just arrived at that point, that last chance when a critical

failure can be prevented.

Experience says that will never happen. (Most catastrophic

accidents) (5, 6)

We need to reduce maintenance, staffing and training to cut

costs (Bhopal MIC release) (6) So we are all in agreement, RIGHT. (Shuttle Challenger and

Columbia Disasters) (5)

We dont have time for that (Most catastrophic accidents) (5, 6)
