1 PURPOSE OF THE SIMOPS 1.1 Main purpose

The main purpose of the Simultaneous Operation Safety Rules and Procedures is to provide all personnel involved with simultaneous operations on TOTAL /South Pars phase 2 and 3 with a knowledge of the relevant safe practices and procedures.

Additionally, this Section is used to predetermine the compatibility, interference and limitations during the planning and operational stages of Simultaneous operations.It takes into account the specific design of the South Pars Phases 2 & 3 Installations and the TSP Organization.The present version addresses the specific situation of phased hand over to Production up to first gas export

The activities concerned by this document are:- Construction activities (Lifting, Cold work /Hot works, etc.)- Commissioning Activities.- Operation of the utility system by ODC ( Operation during

Commissioning ) Team conducted in geographical areas under construction authority and prior to hand over to Production.

- Production activities after partial hand over to production.

It is possible to forecast the equipment lay out , the number of personnel Involved and the safety status of a given area for determining Construction or Commissioning operations during routine production. This will optimize safety clearance , prevent obstructions / interference and minimize constraints. This is one of the objectives of the SIMOPS procedures.

This document has addressed as many situations as possible. However, should the need arise, specific operations will have to be reviewed on a case by case basis.

1.2 Detailed objectives

This Section called “ Simultaneous Operation Safety Rules and Procedures “ are referred to, in short, as SIMOPS.The objectives of the SIMOPS are to:

- Highlight potential restrictions when forecasting and planning additional activities due to take place at the same time and location where long-term activities are performed.(for the purpose of this document, SIMOPS starts with the start-up of the first utilities i.e. electricity supply.)



- Ensure any activity or operation affecting an area, where another activity may be on going simultaneously, is reviewed and analyzed for potential interference or limitation.

- Establish a mechanism for review of proposed activities (e.g. meeting and identifying department participation).

- Establish matrix to authorize simultaneous activities.

- Ensure simultaneous activities are controlled and performed in a safe manner by :

Defining responsibilities of personnel involved Requiring the appointment of a SOL (Simultaneous Operation

Leader) to coordinate activities within different organizations. Stating preventive measures to be implemented prior to starting

simultaneous activities Limiting the number of simultaneous activities and / or the area

affected Avoiding interference during operations Providing communication channels and procedures. Training of all personnel including communication of step

changes.

- Minimize the potential for personnel injury and equipment damage by

Controlling and restricting personnel access to areas of simultaneous activities

Providing specific instruction for securing operations and mustering personnel in case of emergency

Ensuring all personnel involved are aware of the specifics of simultaneous operations and of the procedures.

Identifying hazards and evaluating the consequences of failures, to update matrix of allowed simultaneous activities.

1.3 SUPPORT AND CONTRIBUTING ELEMENTS

- Construction forecast and planning - Commissioning activities forecast and planning- Operation of utility system by ODC forecast and planning- Production activities forecast and planning - Review and analysis of potential simultaneous activities up to the end of construction / commissioning activities (after train 4 hand over)- Risk evaluation procedures- Permit to work system - Plant Design and engineering studies

3.2 SIMULTANEOUS OPERATIONS FORECAST

Construction , Commissioning, Utility systems running and Production Operations with potential interference between them should be forecasted to minimize any interference.



Information relevant to simultaneous activities with a possible / potential impact to the other team should be given for every planned operation as well as for contingency and emergency situation.

Simultaneous operations which are not authorized within this procedure, or simultaneous operations for which special precautions may be required shall be subject to a ”what if” or risk evaluation.

Urgent decisions regarding SIMOPS are the responsibility of the Site Manager

4 RESPONSIBILITIES

4.1 T.S.P. SITE MANAGER

The Site Manager is responsible for the Safety, Health and Welfare of all personnel working on the site. All supervisors working on the project assist the Site Manager.

The TSP Site Manager’s responsibility for safety and coordination will be handed over to the Production Assistant at train one hand over (step 9).

Up to step 4 The Site Manager takes responsibility as Simultaneous Operations Leader.

4.2 SIMULTANEOUS OPERATIONS LEADER

The Simultaneous Operations Leader (S.O.L) is responsible for proper coordination and safe simultaneous interfaces as well as identification and resolution of possible impact on other operations. He receives delegation for these responsibilities from the Site Manager.

He liaises with all supervisors (Production, Construction, Commissioning, Maintenance, Safety, etc) and area /installation authorities.

He ensures that the operational team duly enforce SIMOPS procedures. However both Construction and Production teams remain responsible for the safe management of their own operations..The S.O.L. acts under guidance and control of the TSP Site Manager additionally he will report and liaise with Project and Production as required.

It is the responsibility of the SOL to follow up the completion of listed activities and to report to the Site Manager any trend or omission which could potentially jeopardize the planning forecast.

In the event of a disagreement regarding the safety of a proposed simultaneous operation or the continuation of an activity in progress, the



matter should be decided by the SOL and referred to the Site Manager for approval ( if deemed necessary )

4.3 AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITIES

Four types of operational zones are defined on South Pars Phase 2 and 3 installations.

CONSTRUCTION AREAS

Under the responsibility of the Site Manager

COMMISSIONING AREASUnder the responsibility of the Site Manager

UTILITY AREAS

Operated by ODC ( Operation during Commissioning ) under the responsibility of the Site Manager

PRODUCTION AREAS

Under the responsibility of the Operations Assistant

4.4 INSTALLATION AUTHORITY

One nominated person is in charge of each operational zone:

CONSTRUCTION AREAS

The HDEC Area Authority is the Installation Authority

COMMISSIONING AREAS The Commissioning Manager is the Installation Authority

UTILITY AREAS ( OPERATION DURING COMMISSIONING )

Prior to hand over ‘The Operation during Commissioning’ team operate and maintain utilities.The Commissioning Manager is the Installation Authority.

However during phases where production operations are in hand, clear definition of interfaces should be set up and responsibilities shared for any activity having a potential impact on production, i.e. PCS, ESD, F&G, power sources and distribution, etc.

PRODUCTION AREAS

The Process and Utility Superintendents are the Installation Authorities on the areas handed over to Production.

4.5 RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE INSTALLATION AUTHORITY

In addition to the duties defined by the Permit to Work system (TSP PTW) the nominated Installation Authority is responsible for

Ensuring planned operations have:REV. 0 04th August 2001 PAGE : 10 of 18


Been properly evaluated as to their implications and potential consequences

Been forecasted correctly in terms of time and duration.

Ensuring Area Operators are fully aware of the SIMOPS as well as the implication and consequences of each of their operations in regard to the proximity of other teams personnel and equipment.

Ensuring operations are performed within forecast. In case of delays, the area Authority should evaluate consequences of the delay then notify the Site Rep., SOL, and other interested parties as required.

Ensuring that only essential personnel are authorized to enter areas affected by SIMOPS operations.

Ensuring that involved personnel are aware of alarms and evacuation procedures.

5 SUPERVISION

Safety of SIMOPS operations is dependent to a great degree on the general communication, coordination and cooperation between the Supervisors and Authorities involved.

Accurate evaluation and control of the operational parameters are of prime importance for SIMOPS operations, safety and efficiency.

For this purpose commissioning will maintain two sets of permanently up-dated and marked-up copies of electrical online diagrams identifying energized circuits and P & IDs identifying pressurized equipment ,location of isolations (spades, spools, valves, etc…) One copy for their own use the other copy for the SOL.

In this respect, and in addition to the usual job preparation, supervisors should:

Ascertain their operation has been duly planned and that the Site Manager. / SOL, Area Authority and other involved supervisors have been informed of the timing and about any potential constraint and interference.

Confirm evaluation of starting time and duration. Confirm evaluation of potential constraints and interference. Check that operation and emergency procedures comply with

SIMOPS context and to the current running / planned activities. Ensure both, equipment and personnel, are available and comply

with SIMOPS.

During the operation, direct control should be maintained by: Continuous supervision and monitoring Clear instruction, constantly updated according to progress and

events. Enhanced checking and testing. Good communication and detailed instructions eg Tool Box Talks



6 OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT AND ORGANISATION

Planning highlights concurrent activities performed by different sections. A general agreement on work organization and schedule is reached to minimize disruption and promote communication between all parties.

6.1 OPERATIONS PLANNING

Construction , Commissioning and Production Departments issue planning forecasts which are reviewed by respective management to identify Simultaneous Operations.

When SIMOPS are identified Managers will advise all affected parties and when required Construction / Commissioning planning will be updated to incorporate SIMOPS .

Acceptance of planned operations , additional requirements and constraints will be approved by management and supervision.

The operation program should give all relevant information relating to simultaneous operations including constraints, limitations, areas of conflict and include or refer to applicable emergency procedures.

The SOL will inform all parties involved, obtain acceptance for the operation plan and any identified constraints. When conflicting operations are identified he will liaise with Project and / or Production who will decide which takes priority.

6.2 OPERATION PREPARATION

Prior to commencing SIMOPS the Site Manager / SOL will meet with all involved parties to verify all aspects of the operation , confirm emergency procedures, identify constraints, limitations and conflicting activities.

Once the planning of the operation is confirmed and the detailed program and/or procedures approved, equipment and personnel are mobilized.

6.4 MEETINGS

Meetings are required to : Keep the highest standards of Safety awareness for all personnel.



Ensure proper Communication, Cooperation and Coordination between the different teams working on the installations .

Ensure proper planning and progress of simultaneous activities to minimize unproductive downtimes.

Ensure strict application of the Safety Rules & Procedures and of the risk evaluation and work Permit System.

Meetings will be held :

Prior to start-up of simultaneous activities : All supervisors and Authorities to be convened to a kick-off meeting by the Site Manager, SOL, to ensure that all precautions have been implemented and equipment is available .

Daily Time and location to be agreed by the participants.

In addition to usual topics and tasks, this meeting chaired by the Site Manager / SOL. is the opportunity for supervision personnel to:

Review and confirm planning of future concurrent activities, according to the actual progress of running operations and to identify potential conflicts .

Authorize work to be performed under the permit to work system highlighting SIMOPS events and address safety concerns .

Daily

Tool Box Talks.

Specific emphasis will be given to the systems having a potential impact on production activities in hand and methods of raising the alarm to be taken in case of emergency. These may have to be changed to adapt to the SIMOPS context:

eg.

Areas barrierd off or temporarily used for a different purpose Escape routes, location of safety equipment

Emergency drills:

Should be performed in the context of simultaneous activities

( Alarms , Detection and communication systems to be defined and will be supported by a stand alone document )

6.5 WORK PERMITS

The South Pars Work Permit System is applicable for SIMOPS on the site.



The construction / commissioning procedure is in force for all activities performed up to partial hand over to production . Areas under production responsibility (post partial hand over) will be subject to the production work permit procedure.

6.5.1 SHARED AREAS

Shared area means : Personnel from both operations are present at the same moment

of time at the same place. Operations will be performed in close proximity of personnel with

potential hazards such as pressure testing and gas release for which safety barriers may not provide suitable protection due to the confined environment ( the minimum distance required may not always be practicable )

Areas where control, emergency and safety equipment in use for production are located

Areas where Safety equipment, communication devices (telephone line ) are located

Escape routes and temporary refuges. Areas through which live or pressurized lines pass.

Different locations are defined on the Site.

The manner in which these areas are shared depends how the Construction / Commissioning and Production operations are carried out.

6.5.2 HAZARD IDENTICATION and IMPACTED ZONES

Reference in standard 300 series and 600 series (standard 604 ISOLATION)The extent of zones under SIMOPS in each start-up phase are defined by using hazard identification techniques.

For simultaneous activities that are a combination of Commissioning / Construction activities during Production operations, a risk evaluation will be done based on the specifics of the operations, under the present SIMOPS rules and procedures and on HSE standard 300 series guidance.The results of this feasibility study will be incorporated in the operation program and should be accepted by Management and Supervision prior to starting SIMOPS operations.

6.6 OPERATION CONTROL



The control of simultaneous operations is the responsibility of the Site Manager in charge at the time of the operation.

The SOL is designated to assist him in coordinating and planning activities.

The preparation of the SIMOPS operations as far as organization, equipment , material and procedures are concerned, is shared between TSP construction and production organizations. To assist these organizations in preparing for pre determined start-up phases, checklists will be prepared prior to each step and responsibilities allocated to the disciplines / individuals in charge.

6.7 PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Subject to the requirements defined in the appended checklists all plant and equipment existing and new purchase must conform to hazardous area classification, other plant and equipment will be subject to and controlled by the Permit to Work System.

Examples will include but are not limited to :

Vehicles : see note. Electrical equipment Power tools IS communication system Lifting equipment Hand tools

All plant and equipment for use within controlled areas ( ie live ) will be subject to pre inspection , plant id cards and tagging

Personal protective equipment and escape equipment must be suitable for use within a sour ( H2S ) service environment.

Note : Refer to Vehicle Access Procedures

7 PERSONNEL CONTROL

( Note :This section will be further defined within a stand alone document )

7.1 AREAS WITH PERSONNEL ACCESS RESTRICTIONS



Access between areas will be controlled by badges, manned security , the permit to work system and from step 9 electronic badge readers.

7.2 ALARMS AND COMMUNICATION

Communications will be provided in accordance with emergency and operational requirements.

7.3 MUSTERS

Whenever mustering personnel is required, all construction / commissioning and production personnel will normally muster outside the potentially impacted area.

All personnel must be provided with H2S escape masks. The list of personnel in the area will be identified and controlled.

8 AUTHORIZED SIMULTANEOUS OPERATIONS

The table ( appendix 1) applies during routine operations. In the event of an abnormal situation , simultaneous operations must be stopped and made safe . Authorization from the SOL will be required for resumption of simultaneous operations.
