RN06: ICE MANAGEMENT – STATE OF THE ART REPORT // Introduction1. Introduction1.1. ObjectiveThe objectives of the State of the Art (SoA) <strong>report</strong> areto1. briefly describe the Ice Management (IM)systems having been operational to date as wellas the IM system and philosophy planned for theShtokman Phase 12. give input to what elements and components ofdifferent IM systems have proved to work welland where improvements can be made3. based on the experience gathered throughthe projects, recommend further action thatwill contribute to the implementation of IMsystems that ensure safe operations, increasedoperability, extended season operation andkeeping ice actions at level below design values,which themselves can be reduced by IM.1.2. Scope and contentA brief summary of the IM systems that have beenimplemented is provided for each of the followingprojects/regions:• Kulluk / Canmar drill ships• Grand Banks• Sakhalin 2• ACEX (Arctic Coring EXpedition)The final section summarizes how the ShtokmanPhase 1 Project has combined the accumulatedexperience with own developments in their operatingphilosophy and relevant IM specifications and plans.Summaries for the five projects were supplied bymembers of Working Group RN06, who were giventhe following scope for the contributions:Each summary shall contain the following topicswhenever relevant:3. Detection and surveillance, tracking andmonitoring of ice features. Satellite, airborne,radar, vessel, underwater instrumentation, etc.4. Institution responsible for forecasts, forecastmodel, whether or not updated by data, updatefrequency, verification procedure.5. Physical Ice Management (PIM). Types, numberand sizes of vessels, means of removing icebergs,ice breaking patterns, etc.6. Procedures for threat evaluation and start ofPIM.7. Procedures for disconnection, where relevant.8. Organisation, responsibilities and implementedprocedures.9. Training. Onshore personnel, ice managementcrew, offshore personnel.10. Ice load monitoring, if any, and effects of IM.11. Monitoring, characterisation and <strong>report</strong>ingperformance of IM. What aspects of IM weremonitored and <strong>report</strong>ed, how the performancewas <strong>report</strong>ed.12. Any other aspect of IM.In addition, the following is given for each operation:• Brief assessment of what worked well andwhat did not work so well, from the firstplanning of IM to the structure left the site• Brief descriptions of any furtherdevelopments of IM that may have beeninitiated as follow-up the point above1. Description of the structure for which IM wasimplemented. Fixed or floating, station keepingsystem and whether disconnect able or not forfloating structures (in case of disconnect ablestructure a brief description of the disconnectionsystem and capability is wanted), drilling orproduction, size and other information relevantfor IM.2. Ice environment: Icebergs, pack ice, ice season,annual or rare occurrence.202RUSSIAN–NORWEGIAN COOPERATION PROJECT
