INTRODUCTION Consistently with the Group culture, policies and commitments, Edison ASID developed a Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Integrated Management System (IMS) with the following main objectives: Harmonizing the HSE management practices already in place in all its subsidiaries and affiliated worldwide; Sharing with contractors a set of common requirements to allow a proper management of HSE issues during operational activities; Guaranteeing compliance with applicable legislation in all countries where it operates; Ensuring a proper HSE management also in the lack of specific legal provisions; Go beyond legal compliance where economically and technically feasible.

To facilitate the achievement of these objectives on a global scale, the HSE IMS has been elaborated as a set of guidelines aiming at: establishing the HSE minimum requirements, from both an organizational and a technical standpoint, that Edison ASID intends to apply to its activities globally; providing the road-map to allow subsidiary and affiliated companies to tailor locally the system, via the development of country/branch/site/project specific procedures and working instructions whenever applicable.

HSE IMS OVERVIEW The development of the HSE IMS has been carried out following the PDCA cycle (Figure 5.1-1) approach which concepts are here below briefly summarized: Plan: analyze activities to establish the processes (objectives, actions etc.) required to continually improve you performance; Do: implement the processes; Check: monitor and measure the processes to verify its effectiveness and report the results to decision makers; Act: decide changes needed to continually improve the processes;

Fig. 5-1 - PDCA

Taking the PDCA cycle as a reference led to the identification of the fundamentals on which HSE IMS has been defined. These fundamentals are: An HSE Policy where the Edison ASID reports its commitments towards HSE performance continual improvement; The HSE risk assessment and the environmental impact evaluation of all Edison ASID E&P activities, including activities managed by contractors and subcontractors; Identification and planning of specific strategic HSE objectives and targets both at BU and local level ;

INTRODUCTION Purpose Edison is aware of the importance to identify and manage risks throughout all stages of the business lifecycle. All HSE risks associated with operations should be managed to a consistent and acceptable level. Edison ASID has developed this HSE Risk Assessment guideline to provide the overall framework for the management of HSE risks within the business and operations in order to identify, prevent, control and mitigate risks to personnel, property, the environment and public arising from processes, activities and materials used or encountered in them. The purpose of this guideline is to: Establish a common and consistent approach to HSE risk management; Ensure that all risks to people, environment, assets/production loss and public have been systematically identified and assessed; To provide a means to monitor and reduce risks to As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) throughout the activities execution; To outline the documents to be produced to report risk control activities.

2.2

Objective The objective of the HSE Risk Assessment guideline is to identify the methodology and criteria to manage risks at appropriate level of accuracy to be performed during Edison ASID E&P activities in Italy and abroad such as: Acquisition; Exploration; Appraisal; Development; Production and maintenance; Decommissioning; Abandonment.

Specifically the risk assessment should cover the following ASID processes: Scouting;

HSE IMS BU Hydrocarbons Asset

Section 8.1 Revision 0

HSE Risk Assessment

23/02/2007 Page 6 of 52

Explorative seismic survey; Seismic survey evaluation; Explorative well survey; Well survey evaluation; Well development. Edison is committed to systematically identify and assess risks arising from its activities and operations, under normal, abnormal a emergency conditions. Besides, the risk assessment nd must include all the temporary phases that are foreseen in the life of the installation such as anomalous conditions dictated by maintenance activities. Comprehensive risk control measures will be identified to control and mitigate possible consequences of adverse hazardous scenarios through specific design features and application of appropriate standards and procedures.

RISK MANAGEMENT APPROACH Edison ASID approach to the Risk Management can be summarized as follows: Risk Analysis: Systematic identification of the Hazards which may affect or arise from Edison ASID activities and from the materials which are used or encountered in them; Risk Evaluation: Assessment of the associated risk arising from the identified hazards; Risk Reduction/control: Identification and implementation of risk-reduction measures in order to eliminate or at least reduce the risks where this is deemed to be necessary; Documentation of the Hazards and Risks together with the risk-reduction measures (Risk Assessment Report, Risk Register, Response Action Sheets). The following Figure outlines Edison ASID Risk Management approach. Fig.4-1 Risk Management Approach

Is Edison ASID interest to reduce risks to ALARP and in compliance with Edison ASID Risk acceptance criteria (refer to section 6.4 for more information) which reflect

local conditions and circumstances, the balance of cost and benefits and the current state of scientific and technical knowledge. The above risk management approach must be applied to all the following Edison ASID processes: Scouting; Seismic Survey; Seismic Survey Evaluation; Well Survey; Well Survey Evaluation; Well development. Edison approach for hazard identification and risk assessment must: Be proactive in its scope and not applied only once incidents have occurred; Be consistent with operating experience and risk control measures employed; Be as early as possible in order that sufficient time can be given to the study before determining the most appropriate solution to manage; Provide input into the determination of facility requirements (training needs, administrative, engineering or operational controls etc.); Involving personnel at all organisational levels.

4.1

Risk Team Composition and Skills Hazards and risk identification is normally performed by a specific Risk Team. The Risk Team is composed by an adequate number of members and should have the following characteristics: Sufficient knowledge to recognise and identify all the HSE issues related with Edison ASID activities and operations subjected to the Risk Assessment; Skilled in the Risk techniques and objectives of the Risk Assessment; Knowledgeable about the design, operation and maintenance of the facilities and activities under consideration. The Risk Team is usually composed by a Team Leader who leads the Risk Team and the Risk Assessment session, a Secretary who records accurately the discussions to ensure that the minutes fully reflect the points identified during the Risk Assessment and the Partecipants who contribute and give inputs to the discussion.

HSE IMS BU Hydrocarbons Asset

Section 8.1 Revision 0

HSE Risk Assessment

23/02/2007 Page 9 of 52

The Team Leader requires a high level of technical and managerial skills and sufficient years of experience in the Risk Management. The role of the Team Leader is critical to the success of the Risk Assessment since he is required to: Lead the team through the Risk Management Process; Prompt the brainstorming effort; Manage the discussion without compromising the creativity of the process; Identify the key issues as they are raised by the team. The Secretary and Participants should include experienced personnel (with experience in Edison ASID activities such as seismic survey, exploration activities, drilling campaign, abandonment etc.) available from the following disciplines: Project engineering; Process engineering; Production engineering; Operations; Specialists such as Reservoir Engineers and HSE Advisers. It is preferable but not essential that some of the Partecipants have been to a Risk Assessment meetings before. If a large number of the team are new to the Risk Management or have not attended a meeting for a long time, then a short pre-meeting should be held to describe and demonstrate the basic techniques and principles of the Risk Assessment.

4.2

Tools for Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment The level and extent of hazard identification and risk assessment activities vary depending on the scale of the installation and the stage in the installation life cycle when the identification and assessment process is undertaken. For example for complex installations (e.g. large production well) detail studies are required while for simpler installation or installation in the early design phases it may be possible to rely on application of recognized codes and standards. Hazard identification and risk assessment activities may need to be reviewed and updated if significant new issues are identified or if there is significant change to the installation. Hazards can be identified and assessed in a numbered of ways. Hazard identification and risk assessment tools are the following (Fig.4.2-1): Experience/judgement; Checklists;

CHECKLISTS

EXPERIENCE/ JUDGEMENT

4.2.1

Experience/Judgement The knowledge and expertise of staff, having appropriate experience, is used for hazard identification and assessment. This is particularly useful where the activity under consideration is similar to E&P business activities undertaken previously at the same or different locations. Practical staff experience gained in the field and feedback from incidents and near misses is invaluable. Refer to section 4.1 for more information on the Risk Team skills.

4.2.2

Checklists Checklists ensure that known hazards and threats have all been identified and assessed. The use of checklists, however, must not be allowed to limit the scope of review. They are normally drawn up from standards and operational experience and focus on areas where the potential for mistakes is high or where problems have occurred in the past. Checklists are easy to apply and can be used at any stage in the project life cycle.

HSE IMS BU Hydrocarbons Asset

Section 8.1 Revision 0

HSE Risk Assessment

23/02/2007 Page 11 of 52

Main categories of a typical checklist can be: External and environmental hazards Natural and Environmental Hazards; Created (Man-made) Hazards; Effect of the Facility on the Surroundings; Infrastructure; Environmental Damage. Facility hazards Control Methods/Philosophy; Fire and Explosion Hazards; Process Hazards; Utility Systems; Maintenance Hazards; Construction/Existing Facilities. Health hazards Health Hazards. Project implementation issues Contracting Strategy; Hazards Recognition and Management; Contingency Planning; Competency. Refer to Appendix A for a checklist model reporting the above mentioned categories and guide work examples. 4.2.3 Codes and Standards Codes and Standards reflect collective knowledge and experience, accumulated on the basis of national or international operations. They generally focus on hazard assessment and control, since the hazard have already been identified and the standard methods for their control and mitigation defined. Codes and standards usually contain information on hazards applicable to a particular type of operation. For example for drilling and production equipment an ISO Standard can be use. In some cases compliance with prescriptive standards alone will reduce risk to 'as low as reasonably

practicable'. Similarly, the acceptability of emissions or discharges to the environment or release of agents harmful to health can be assessed by reference to environmental quality standards and occupational health exposure limits. The following list gives an example of Codes and Standards useful in the Risk Analysis: 4.2.4 IEC 60300-3-9: Risk analysis of technological systems; EN1050: Safety of machinery Risk assessment; ISO17776: Petroleum and natural gas industries Production installations Guidelines and tools for hazard identification and risk assessment; NORSOK Z-013: Risk and emergency preparedness analysis; EN1441: Medical Devices - Risk Analysis. Hazard Identification Techniques Identification of the main hazards is important in the early stages of a design, in order to allow design decisions to be made which reduce risk. HAZID may be u seful to achieve this objective, while at later stages in a design QRA and HAZOP may be found useful. Evaluation of hazards and risks associated with construction tasks and operations, including inspection, testing and maintenance are undertaken using JHA and HAZOP techniques. All evaluation techniques provide results which are themselves subject to a range of uncertainty and consequently the results should be compared with the judgement of experienced personnel. Where there is felt to be potentially significant uncertainty in a key element of the evaluation, the use of alternative techniques should be investigated to validate results. Section 8 of this document describe some Hazard Identification Techniques in current use.

HAZARD AND RISK TERMINOLOGY This section provides an overview of the more common terminology and concepts used in the analysis of hazards and the determination of risk.

5.1

Hazards A hazard is defined as: The potential to cause harm, ill health or injury, damage to property, plant, products or the environment, production losses or increased liabilities. The concept that a hazard has the potential for something undesirable to happen rather than the actual event itself is important in understanding the approach to be adopted toward hazard identification and risk assessment. The terms acute and chronic are often used to differentiate between hazards with the potential to cause harm as a result of relatively short-term events such as oil spills, fires and explosions (acute hazards) and hazards which arise from long-term events such as continuous discharge and occupational exposure (chronic hazards). A hazardous event occurs when the hazards potential to cause harm is realized.

5.2

Risk Risk is define as: the product of the probability that a specified undesired event will occur and the severity of the consequences of the event. Risk = Probability x Severity of the consequences To determine the risk of a specific hazardous event taking place therefore requires information on the likelihood (possibility of something happening) of the event taking place and the severity of the adverse consequences that could be expected to follow from it. Risk is a term which combines the chance that a specified undesired event will occur and the severity of the consequences of the event.

23/02/2007 Page 14 of 52

5.3

Acceptance Criter ia In order for Edison ASID to make decisions on the results of a risk assessment (determine whether the risk is fully acceptable, completely intolerable or somewhere in between) acceptance criteria are established. Edison ASID Acceptance Criteria express: the level of health, safety and/or environmental performance deemed acceptable for a given period or phase of activities. They may be defined both in quantitative and qualitative terms. Edison ASID acceptance criteria: Reflect best practice as contained in national or international standards reflect Edison ASID strategic and organisational objectives Take local condition under consideration in order to reflect differing approaches to risk management; factors which have an effect on the criteria are geographical location, environmental conditions, political and/or economic constrains and societal attitudes Are acceptable to Edison S.p.a., financial investors, regulators and society.

5.4

ALARP Edison ASID requires that residual risks associated with Facilities or activities have been reduced to ALARP . The definition of ALARP is: As low as reasonably practicable To reduce a risk to a level which is as low as reasonably practicable involves balancing reduction in risk against the time, trouble, difficulty and cost of achieving it. The ALARP level represents the point, objectively assessed, at which the time, trouble, difficulty and cost of further reduction measures become unreasonably disproportionate to the additional risk reduction obtained. ALARP principle is represented graphically in the Figure below:

RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS To identify and assess risks, Edison ASID shall implement the following Risk Management Process, a continuous process, which typically implies four major steps: 1 - Identification and definition of hazards and their potential effects; 2 Evaluation (assessment) of risks and effects arising from the identified hazards either qualitatively or quantitatively in terms of the likelihood/probability of occurrence and severity of the consequences; 3 Assessment of tolerability of risk to personnel, environment, assets and public by comparing risk level with Edison ASID relevant acceptance criteria; 4 Identification of risk reduction measures needed to reduce the likelihood/probability (prevention) and/or the consequences of an accident (control and mitigation). This Process must be conducted regularly on all Edison ASID Projects and existing Facilitys operations and shall also be initiated when activities change. The above risk management process must be conducted during all Edison ASID processes and specific phases as shown in the following Table: Table 6-1 Edison ASID main processes and phases Process Scouting Siesmic Survey Phases Desk study and Field Trip Contractor selection Operative phase Decommissioning Pre-engineering Technical feasibility Study FEED Operative planning Contractor selection Operative phase Decommissioning

6.1

Hazard Identification Before the risks associated with a particular activity can be assessed, it is first necessary to systematically identified the hazards which may affect, or arise from, the particular operation under consideration. The identification of potential HSE hazards and effects covers all phases of Edison ASID processes and related activities at the appropriate level of accuracy, taking also into account all phases in the life of any installation including temporary conditions dictated by maintenance activities. For each activity, the most significant hazards should be identified in terms of: Potential sources of incidents; Human health hazards; Environmental hazards; Company Reputation hazards; Possibility of breaching applicable laws and rules; Possibility of violating Edison Policy, assigned objectives and targets; Possibility of violating identified expectancy of stakeholders; Potential sources of economic loss. Example of HSE aspects to be considered are: Fire and explosion; Exposure to chemical; Driving; Asphyxiation and electrocution; Human factors; Emissions; Wastes; Noise; Vibration; Water; Atmosphere; Ecosystems alteration. It is important to underline tha t the hazard indentification addresses specific project activities. For each project the main activities and subactivities should be defined in order to easily identify the specific related hazards. An example of matrix for the hazard identification is provided in Appendix B.

HSE IMS BU Hydrocarbons Asset

Section 8.1 Revision 0

HSE Risk Assessment

23/02/2007 Page 19 of 52

This task is often an iterative process and discussions and decisions must be recorded. This stage can be the most cost-effective time to eliminate potential major hazards. The identification of the hazards and effects should be performed using adequate personal experiences (Refer to section 4.1 for more information on the Risk Team skills), checklists, codes and standards references and specialized hazard identification techniques. Refer to Section 8 of this document for more information on the different techniques for hazard identification.

6.2

Risk Evaluation Once the hazards have been identified, the risks they present to personnel, environment, assets and people are evaluated. Risk evaluation requires consideration of both the severity of consequences of the potential hazard and the likelihood of the realisation.

6.2.1

Consequence Evaluation The consequences are those of credible scenarios (taking the prevailing circumstances into consideration) that can develop from the release of a hazard. The consequence estimates are based on envisaged scenarios of what might happen. Hazards can have consequences in all four consequence categories: Personnel: Harm to the health and safety of personnel involved in Edison ASID operations and activities; Property Damage and/or Loss of Revenue: Damage to Edison ASID physical asset and/or impacts on projects (failure to meet project objectives) and/or production losses; Environmental: Damage to the environment deriving from Edison ASID operational activities or from incidents; Public: Damage to the general public which may produce adverse public reaction with consequences on Edison S.p.a.reputation. It is important to remember that most activities which carry some degree of risk, entail risk to more than one of the above categories. All possible effects of a hazard must be considered together. Refer to Appendix C for Edison ASID detailed definitions of the consequence categories.

Section 8.1 Revision 0

23/02/2007 Page 20 of 52

6.2.2

Frequency/Likelihood Evaluation The frequency estimates are based on historical information that such a scenario has happened under similar conditions in the same business and/or within Edison ASID, knowing full well that circumstances will never be exactly the same. Examples of likelihood scale definitions are provided in Appendix D.

6.2.3

Risk Determination Having determined the probability of the different scenario and the consequences arising from that event, it is possible to represent the severity of the risk graphically using a Risk Matrix. To assess the risk the following sequence should be followed: first the potential consequences are estimated and only thereafter the likelihood of such consequences occurring are estimated. Edison ASID developed the following Risk Assessment Matrix (Table 6.2.3-1) where: The vertical axis represents the measure of likelihood of the occurrence of an undesired event. The scale of likelihood from 0.5 to 10 is used to indicate the increasing likelihood; The horizontal axis represents the consequence severity that could occur with that event. The scale of consequences from "1" to "100" is used to indicate increasing severity. The intersection of the chosen column with the chosen row is the risk level. The overall risk is classified according to which of the consequences has the highest rating. The numbers in each box of the matrix give an index of the severity of the determined risks and a priority order for their management. High numbers correspond to more severe risks which need to be managed firstly.

Risk Acceptance As soon as the level of risk is defined in the risk matrix, its necessary to assess its acceptability (tolerability) which means the comparison of the risk level with Edison ASID identified acceptability/tolerability thresholds in order to determine whether the risk is fully acceptable, completely intolerable or somewhere in between. The Risk Matrix and Risk Acceptability criteria have been defined and approved after a detailed analysis of Edison ASID Management of the historical databases and past experiences of Companies and industries operating in the same business. ASID BU present and past experiences, HSE Policy and strategic objectives have also been considered.

6.3.1

Risk Acceptability Criteria Edison ASID established three Risk acceptability thresholds which are clearly indicated on the Risk Assessment Matrix by the three different shaded-in areas (Fig. 6.3.1-1).

Fig. 6.3.1-1 Risk Matrix with Risk Acceptability Criteria

Each of the three coloured regions in the Risk Matrix identify the limits of Edison ASID risk acceptability/tolerability (Table 6.3.1-1). The three different colours classify risks as Low, Medium or High. Table 6.3.1-1 Risk Acceptability Criteria
The level of risk is acceptable and generic control LOW RISK measures are required to avoid deterioration. (Continuous Improvement) The level of risks can be acceptable only once riskMEDIUM RISK reduction measures have been identified and (Risk reduction Measures/ALARP) implemented. Application of ALARP. The level of risk is not acceptable and risk control measures are required to mitigate the effects and to move the risk level to the yellow area. Complementary risk analysis required (QRA, HAZOP etc.) HIGH RISK (Intolerable Risk)

The numbers in each box of the risk matrix give an index of the severity of the determined risks and a priority order for their management. High numbers correspond to a major severity of risk. For example if two risks follow in the red area (high risk) one in the 160 box and the other one in the 500 box, the second risk is the most severe and need to be manage firstly.

The results of the risk assessment should be recorded in the Risk Assessment Worksheet and Risk Register (refer to section 7 for more information) together with the data sources and assumption used. This record should be used by operations personnel developing procedures and issuing work instructions and by key people to communicate the hazards that have been identified and the measures that are in place to prevent and mitigate the risk of occurrence. The response required for each risk level is summarised in the table below: Table 6.3.1-2 Risk Ranking Response

6.4

Risk Reduction Measures Risk reduction measures include preventative measures (reduction of the likelihood) and mitigation measures (reduction of severity of consequences). Risk reduction measures also include recovery preparedness measures which address emergency procedures as well as restoration and compensation procedures to recover. Risk reduction measures introduce controls in order to reduce and/or, where possible, to remove the risk. Figure 6.5-1 indicates the Risk Reduction criteria which should follow the alternatives in the shown sequence of preference Fig. 6.4-1 Risk Reduction Criteria

INTRODUCE CONTROLS

REDUCE RISK (Mitigation Measures)

REMOVE RISK

RISK REDUCTION CRITERIA


The remedial measures needed to control each of the intolerable risks should be based on good safe working practice to reduce the residual risk to a level which is practible. The following concept are used to reduce risk: Reduction: reduce the hazardous situations or the frequency or duration of exposure; Substitution: Substitute hazardous materials with less hazardous ones; Attenuation: using the hazardous materials or processes in a way that limits their hazard potential; Simplification: making the plant and process simpler to design, build and operate.

Factors that will influence the selection of measures to reduce the risk include: The technical feasibility of the risk reducing measures; The contribution of the risk reducing measures;

HSE IMS BU Hydrocarbons Asset

Section 8.1 Revision 0

HSE Risk Assessment

23/02/2007 Page 25 of 52

The costs and risks associated with implementing the measure; The degree of uncertainty associated with the risk, or the risk-reduction technique, including human factors. Evaluation of risk-reducing measures should always be based on sound engineering principles and common sense. The following aspects should also be observed: local conditions and circumstances, the state of scientific and technical knowledge relating to the particular situation, and the estimated costs and benefits. For each risk identified risk which required the identification and implementation of mitigation measures a Response Action Sheet should be filled. Refer to section 7.3 for more information on the Response Action Sheet. Edison should also establish methods for monitoring the required risk reduction measures to ensure both the effectiveness and timeliness of their implementation. Effective risk reduction measures and follow-up require visible commitment of management and on-site supervision, as well as the understanding and ownership by operations personnel.

RISK DOCUMENTATION AND REPORTING Edison ASID should develop, maintain and update the following specific project risk documentation: Risk Assessment Report; Risk Register; Response Action Sheet.

7.1

Risk Assessment Report When a Risk Assessment is carried out a Risk Assessment Report should be produced. The Risk Assessment Report describes the overall Risk Assessment Process and the methodology and criteria utilized. A typical table of contents of a Risk Assessment Report is the following: Summary and conclusions; Objectives and scope; Limitations, assumptions and justification of hypotheses; Description of relevant parts of the system; Analysis methodology; Hazard identification results; Models used, including assumptions and validation; Data and their sources; Risk estimation results; Sensitivity and uncertainty analysis; Discussion of results (including discussion of analytic difficulties); References; Risk Assessment Worksheet (Attachment). All risks identified in the risk assessment are listed in the Risk Assessment Worksheet attached at the end of the Risk Assessment Report. The Risk Assessment Worksheet shows the results of the Risk Assessment process carrie d out during the formal meeting and it includes: Activity description; Subactivity description; Hazard identified; Hazard effect; Control measures already in place; Risk level;

Action to be taken; Residual Risk level; Action by; Action date. Appendix E shows the Risk Assessment Worksheet.

7.2

Risk Register The Risk Register contains all the medium and high risks identified in the risk assessment process captured in the risk assessment report. The Risk Register is the log/database where all unacceptable risks which required reduction measures are logged, along with their current status and action required, and tracked through to cl sure. o The Risk Register is a live document and must be maintained and updated throughout all Edison ASID main processes and activities from seismic survey to well development and must reflect all significant changes in operations and in the business. The Risk Register is the main means for recording, tracking and controlling risks throughout a project execution. Specific objectives of the Risk Register are listed below: Assign responsible persons and due dates for the Actions in the Risk Register; Ensure all Actions are communicated to the responsible person/organisation; Allow tracking of all Actions status; Provide a means to ensure the Risk Register is up to date; Validate the completion of identified Actions. The Risk Register contains the following information: Activity/Hazard; Risk Rank; Action; Residual Risk; Justification for closure; Action Party; Action Date; Status.

A Risk Register example is given is Appendix F. 7.3 Response Action Sheet For each risk identified in the Risk Register a Response Action Sheet should be filled in to demonstrate how Edison ASID implemented the mitigation measures in order to reduce the risk. The Action Response should be completed and returned to enable the updating of the Risk Register. The Action Response Sheet should be filled in by the Project Manager during the project The Action Response Sheet is specifically prepared for the responsible person to whom actions has been addressed. A due date is also assigned for the action to be completed. Periodical Action response verification is made by all the HSE and Risk Project Manager to check the status of the action. A ctions are only considered closed when the HSE and Risk Project Manager signs and agrees the action has been implemented. execution.

Refer to Appendix G for the template of the Response Action Sheet. The Action Response Sheet contains the following information: Risk Raised By (HAZID, QRA, etc.); Relevant Project Phase (Design, Installation, Commissioning, etc.); Consequence Area (Personnel, Property, Environmental, Public); Frequency/Likelihood; Risk rank; Hazard/cause; Controls in place; Actions to be conducted; Person responsible for the Action; Required Date for completion of the Action; Response to Actions; Current status of actions.

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION TECHNIQUES The techniques used in the risk management process will vary depending upon the project phase, operational mode, or the complexity of system or Facility being subject to the risk management process. Besides the selection of the appropriate techniques depends upon the information available and the phase of the project or maturity of the operation. The following Hazard identification techniques for Risk Assessment are presented hereinafter: Hazard Identification (HAZID); Hazard and Operability Analysis (HAZOP); Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA); Job Hazard Analysis (JHA). For further information about additional techniques of Risk Assessment refer to International Standard ISO 17776: 2000.

8.1

Hazard Identification (HAZID) HAZID (Hazard Identification) is a structured brainstorming technique that is particularly useful in the early stages of a development. It is therefore likely to be the first formal HSE-related study for any new project. The study should be held as soon as enough general information is available. The objective of the HAZID study is to recognise and identify the issues rather than to discuss the consequences and propose solutions. Hence the duration of a study would normally be short, (a typic al study duration for a major development would be two to three days). This represents a very efficient use of time and is a significant advantage over alternative identification techniques. The HAZID technique is: A means of identifying and describing occupational HSE hazards and threats at the earliest practicable stage of a development or venture; A meeting employing a highly experienced multi-discipline team using a structured brainstorming technique, based on a checklist of potential HSE issues, to assess the applicability of potential hazards; A rapid identification and description process only, not a forum for trying to solve potential problems.

HSE IMS BU Hydrocarbons Asset

Section 8.1 Revision 0

HSE Risk Assessment

23/02/2007 Page 30 of 52

During the study, all hazards which are identified by the team are minuted and described on a HAZID Worksheet (see Appendix H). Recommendations for remedial action are not normally part of the HAZID scope although the team may however use the 'controls' section of the worksheet to propose alternative solutions or methods of reducing risk.

8.2

Hazard and Operability Analysis (HAZOP) The HAZOP analysis is primarily used for identifying safety hazards and operability problems of continuous process systems (especially fluid and thermal systems). It is also used to review procedures and other sequential operations. In HAZOP Analysis an interdisciplinary team uses a systematic approach to identify hazards and operability problems occurring as a result of deviations from the standard process conditions. The team analyses the effects of any deviations and determine possible causes for the deviation (operator error, blockage in outflow etc.) the consequences of the deviations (spillage of liquid, pollution etc.) and the safeguards in place to prevent the deviation (level of control, pipe overflow etc.). If the causes and consequences are significant and the safeguards are inadequate, the details are recorded so that follow-up action can be taken. The HAZOP results are the teams findings which include the hazards and operating problems identified, recommendations for changes in design, procedures etc. to improve the system and recommendations to conduct studies in areas where no conclusion was possible due to lack of information. The objective of the HAZOP study is to identify possible problems areas and to make recommendations as to how the specific problems may be resolved. Before a HAZOP analysis can be carried out is necessary to assess the detailed information concerning the design and operation of a process. The HAZOP analysis requires considerable knowledge of the process, instrumentation and operations of the existing facilities. At the end of the HAZOP study the HAZOP Worksheet should be filled in (refer to Appendix I).

8.3

Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) QRA is the generic term used for techniques which allow the risk associated with particular activity to be estimated in absolute quantitative terms (numerically) rather than in relative terms

HSE IMS BU Hydrocarbons Asset

Section 8.1 Revision 0

HSE Risk Assessment

23/02/2007 Page 31 of 52

such as high or low. It may be used to determine all risk dimensions, including risk to personnel, risk to the environment, risk to the installation and/or the assets and financial interests. In general the process involves the following steps: Identification of Hazards which is usually undertaken using some form of HAZID; Determination of a set of representative hazardous e vents; Estimation of the frequency of occurrence of the representative hazardous event. This is normally done by reference to appropriate historical data; Evaluation of the direct effects of the hazardous event. This step involves the use of mathematical m odels. The end result of this phase is a series of end events, together with their estimated frequency of occurrence; Evaluation of the consequences which involves assessing the consequence of the end events. The outcome of this phase is a series of cons equences arising from a particular hazardous event, togheter with their estimated frequency of occurrence; Risk summation: the overall frequency of each of the consequence is determined by summing up the relevant frequencies for all the possible end events. The QRA should only be used as a tool to assist in decision making and not as a mechanistic means of deciding a course of action. The application of QRA in not necessarily limited to large, complex and expensive studies. It is a technique which can be used quickly and cheaply to help structure a solutions to problems for which the solution is not intuitively obvious. Risk is often defined as a function of the chance that a specified undesired event will occur and the severity of the consequences of the event. For QRA purposes, chance can be expressed as frequency or probability of an occurrence. If no attempt is made to estimate the chance, we may be driven by the consequence into investing heavily on risk reduction measures which are ineffective. This is illustrated in Figure 8.3-1 The risk curve (shaded) indicates the area in which effective risk reduction measures can be taken.

Fig. 8.3-1 Determination of Risk

On the left side of the curve the consequences are too small to cause concern, regardless of the probability. On the right side the consequences could be dramatic but the probability is so low that it would be more effective to invest in those risk reduction measures which concentrate on the events contributing to the peak of the risk curve.

8.4

Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) is the application of the hazards and effects management process at the task level, identifying and assessing the hazards of each element of the task and defining appropriate controls and recovery measures. The methodology is derived from the work study technique known as Task Analysis, and is known variously as Job Safety Analysis (JSA), Work Safety and Health Analysis, Activity Risk Assessment (ARA). JHA is appropriate for any task where the hazards and control measures need to be formally assessed. The most common areas of application are: routine tasks that have the potential for serious incidents; routine tasks having a history of incidents, including near misses; new tasks or tasks introducing new work methods; routine tasks being carried out in unusual circumstances;

HSE IMS BU Hydrocarbons Asset

Section 8.1 Revision 0

HSE Risk Assessment

23/02/2007 Page 33 of 52

non-routine or one-off tasks; as a verification of the hazard management elements of an established work procedure. The first step of a JHA is to break down the task into its basic steps, describing what is to be done, and in what sequence. If more than 15 steps are identified and it is not feasible to merge some steps without losing essential detail, it is recommended that the task itself is split and separate JHAs are conducted for each part.

Each step description should: provide a statement of what is to be done, without reference to how it is to be done or who is to do it; begin with an action verb (install, remove, assemble etc); end with the subject being discussed (pump, valve, hoist etc); omit reference to hazards. The key activity in a JHA is to determine the hazards and potential incidents associated with each particular step. Results of the JHA should be tabulated in the JHA Worksheet (refer to Appendix J). A copy of this summary should be available at the workplace for use as a site reference. The JHA process is represented graphically in the Figure below.

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT Periodically Edison ASID Risk Assessment Process should be reviewed and improved as part of the continuous improvement process. This review should in addition be performed, if one of the following conditions occurs: the activities being carried out by Edison ASID have, or are going to be changed; the risks associated with the activities changed, or are going to; new projects start in new areas; new or amended legislation is issued; an organisational restructuring takes place. Edison ASID should maintain procedures for planning and controlling changes, both permanent and temporary, in people, plant, processes and procedures, to avoid adverse consequences. The procedures should be suitable to address the HSE issues involved according to the nature of the changes and their potential consequences. Edison should establish separate plans for the HSE management of new operations (relating, for example, to acquisitions, developments, products, services and processes), or modified operations where the modification introduces significantly different HSE concerns.

Comments The hazards associated with seismic survey arise particularly from the handling of hazardous materials, including explosives and compressed air, and the many mechanical handling tasks. Loss or damage to the seismic streamer with spillage of kerosene is an environmental hazard. The identification of hazards need to be undertaken by both Edison ASID (the concession holder) and the rig owner/drilling contractor in close cooperation. Particular attention should be given to identifying hazards arising when normal techniques are extended outside their normal range of conditions (high pressure/high temperature wells, extreme environmental conditions, high H2S content, etc.)

ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS IN NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS Beside the identification and evaluation of environmental aspects in emergency situations (see guideline HSE Risk Assessment), it shall be carried out an environmental review aimed at assessing the magnitude of environmental aspects associated to activities carried out by Edison ASID E&P also in normal operating conditions. The environmental review shall consist of, at a minimum, the phases here below summarized.

4.1.

Identification A methodology to identify environmental aspects associated to all activities carried out by Edison ASID E&P, including activities of contractors and subcontractors, shall be elaborated and implemented. Environmental aspects to be considered shall include, where applicable, but could not be limited to: Energy, Water and Material consumption; Production of waste; Wastewater discharges; Emissions to air; External noise; Impacts on local fauna and flora.

4.2.

Characterization Identified environmental aspects shall be then characterized in order to collect information useful later on to carry out an evaluation of its significance. Information to collect shall include but is not limited to: Quantities consumed/discharged/emitted/disposed of; Sensitivity of receptors (e.g.: quality of water bodies, anthropic degree of the area concerned by the impact); Type of contaminants associated to a certain impact (e.g.: organic chemicals, metals etc.).

4.3.

Evaluation Criteria to then evaluate the significance of identified environmental aspects shall be defined and implemented.

HSE IMS BU Hydrocarbons Asset Environmental Aspects in Normal Operating Conditions

Section 8.2 Revision 0 23/02/07 Page 6 of 7

The definition of the criteria shall consider: Impact of the environmental aspect; Associated legal and non-legal requirements; Sensitivity of interested parties (public, governmental authorities, media, NGOs).

4.4.

Procedures Potential needs to draw up dedicated procedures in order to ensure a proper management of significant environmental aspects shall be evaluated. Should this be the case: The preparation and management of the procedures shall comply with the minimum requirements set in the guideline Documentation management; All concerned personnel shall be trained with respect to what addressed by the procedures; training shall be planned and carried out in compliance with the minimum requirements set in guideline HSE Training; Access to the procedures shall be guaranteed for all concerned personnel.

4.5.

Training Needs in terms of training with respect to management of significant environmental aspects shall be defined. Training shall be planned and carried out in compliance with the minimum requirements set in guideline HSE Training;

4.6.

Updating The environmental review shall be updated on a periodical basis and anyhow whenever a change in the activities carried out occurs. An update of the environmental review shall entail another evaluation in terms of procedures and training as reported in sections 4.4 and 4.5.
