Offshore Safety Management. Implementing a SEMS Program
2010 was once a defining yr for the offshore oil and fuel within the usa. On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) floating drilling rig suffered a catastrophic explosion and hearth. 11 males died within the explosion ― 17 others have been injured. the hearth, which burned for an afternoon and a part, finally despatched the whole rig to the ground of the ocean.
Designing for Human Reliability: Human Factors Engineering in the Oil, Gas, and Process Industries
Underestimates the level to which behaviour at paintings is encouraged by way of the layout of the operating atmosphere. Designing for Human Reliability argues that better information of the contribution of layout to human errors can considerably increase HSE functionality and enhance go back on funding. Illustrated with many examples, Designing for Human Reliability explores why paintings platforms are designed and applied such that "design-induced human blunders" turns into more-or-less inevitable.

Exact positioning can be obtained by taking bearings from the known points (Le. the starting and finishing points) and triangulating, or by taking one bearing from the known point and taping the distance to the feature. It is not necessary to exactly survey in every feature that is to be recorded: once a few points are established, all other observations can usually be positioned by eye in relation to them with sufficient accuracy. • Repeat the process to the next survey point and so on, to complete the traverse.

In the case of such deposits, the drilling direction which is ideal to assess grade may be very inefficient at defining tonnage. However, for initial exploration drilling, it is normally better for the first holes to be aimed at proving grade, rather than tonnage. 44 Mineral exploration drilling Once an intersection in a potential ore body has been achieved, step-out holes from the first intersection are drilled to determine the extent of the mineralization. The most efficient drill sampling of a tabular, steep-dipping ore body is to position deep holes and shallow holes in a staggered pattern on alternate drill sections.
