white rose oilfield development application - Husky Energy

The offshore organization will consist of skilled personnel in all disciplines required for safe, efficient, andenvironmentally responsible operation of all offshore facilities. The OIM will be responsible for managingthe FPSO facility. Semi-submersible drilling units, each of which will be the responsibility of a dedicatedonboard OIM, will carry out all drilling. The FPSO OIM will, however, have responsibility forcoordinating all offshore activities. These include drilling workover, diving and ice management, inaddition to the FPSO-related activities of production, storage, offloading and shipping.A primary aim in assembling the offshore teams will be to foster teamwork and efficiency. This will beachieved by selecting personnel with appropriate production or marine skills and experience, coupled withcooperative positive attitudes and demonstrated competence. Multi-tasking of personnel will also be anaim, both to increase flexibility and effectiveness and to provide personnel with an enriched workenvironment. This cross-functional strength will be accomplished through appropriate training.The crew complement for the FPSO is expected to be approximately 45 to 50 people at any one time.Provision for rotation requires that this number be doubled, giving an FPSO staff strength of approximately90 to 100 personnel.Each drilling vessel will require approximately 70 to 100 drilling and support staff during drilling andtesting operations. To provide for rotation, this means a requirement of approximately 140 to 200 personnelper drilling unit.Specific operations and maintenance management systems will be in place for the White Rose oilfielddevelopment. The systems will comply with all regulatory requirements, and personnel will be trained tooperate in accordance with the manuals and procedures. The systems will cover the following topics:• systems and equipment;• reporting relationships;• maintenance;• production and marine operations;• ice management;• health and safety;• emergencies;• alert and contingency plans; and• environmental control and monitoring.Operations and maintenance management system documents will be developed in the detailed design phase.They will then be augmented by the various user groups to customize them to their particular needs, whilestill maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements.White Rose DA Project Summary • January 2001 Page 62
