This paper discussasthe developmentof the D~illers HAZOp, as a meth~ for reviewing ~th @ aquipmentand operationalpromdures and presents some examples0? its application. UUAT IS NAZOP? HAZOPN is an aoronym for Hazard and OperabilityStudym. It is a methodwhioh has been used for many yeare, and uith great suacess, In the oil and Chemioalindustries, for reviewingthe design of prooess plant in order to help produoe safer,more effioientand more reliablaplant. It is a standardstage in moat topsidedesigns. The main features of the method are that it is conductedby a tasm of peopleworking together under the guidsnae of a ahairmsn;that eaoh pert studied or the design or faoility is syatemstioally; nd that to? $ech element in the q design, all possible deviations from the design intentionare examinedby application a set of of guide words in order to identify possible hazardous situations. The output from the etudy is a set of questionsfor furtherinformationand for ohsngea or for further study reoommendations of speulfiedaspeots.

ABSTRACT A method has been developed for performing ~tudlesof drllllngsystems Hazard and Operability and procedures. The need for such a teohniqueis pplioat ion are explainedand its developmentand q $ desorlbsd. Althoughthe Drillers HAZOP uses the asme basio mathod as the traditional prooesem HAZOP, novel featureahsva bean introducedfor the analysis of those drilling operationswhiah are essentially sequenaes ef meohsnioal and manual handlingoperationsby teams of psopla. For these cases, a new type of master document,the Nultiple Activity Chart, has been developedand rat ined to be the basis for aritiml study by deviation analysis. It has baen found that the set of guide word-variablecombinationsused in the olassloal HAZOP study is not suitable for analysis of Multiple ActivityCharts; an elternativaset has been developedand Is described. The expertenoe gained in developmentof the new method througha progrsmzte ease studies, and by virtue of its of first practical application,is reviewed. This experiencehas demonstrated that use of Me method can result in improved safety and effioienoyin drillingoperations. Finally,the auth~rsdisouss their plans for the future use and developmentof the teahnique. IBTRODUOTION The Drillers~HAZOP is a developmentof the well established Hazard and Operability Study technique for application to offshore drilling systems and operation. The method provides a system tor oarrying out Wltical reviews of equipmentand proceduresin order to improve the safety and effioienoyof presentand future Tables and Figureeat end of paper,

A DRIIUR S SAZOP METHOD I(USD FOR A DRILLERS RAZOP $ The Drillers~ HAZOP project arose From a conviction that there is a pressing need to improve the safety of drilling operations. This is supported not only by the opinions of accident also by experienced people but statistics. For example, the annual reports of the Nornegian Petroleum Directorate give the followingin~uryrates (per thousandman years) on fixed production installationson the Norwegian continentalshelf, from 1979 to 1984: 106.6 Drilling Administration/production 58.2 19.4 Building/Maintenance It wae felt that a systematichazard study would be very likely to lead to Improvements in equipmentdesign and in operatingprocedureswhioh would significantly improvesafety. Such aonsiderationa led to the Inltlatlonaf a project to develop the conventional HAZOP study method so that it aould be applied to drilling The resulting syetema and their operation. Drillers HAZOP method IS an q daptation of the conventional HAZOP, based on the same conaeptebut incorporatingnovel featureato maka it suitable for the study of drilling ayeteme whioh may sometimes be very different in nature from those proceea-typem ones for which the originalmethod uas developed. It la believed that aueh qn q pproach aould be aa effeotive in identifying safety and operability probleme for drilling syatema aa it proved to be for topaidea proaeaa equipment and for achemieal-typen plants . However,it waa clear that the alaaaiaalteohnique baaed eaeentially on analyeia of Prooess and Instrumentation Diagrama (Engineering Flowaheeta) could not be applied to moat drilling activities without modification. This waa primarilybecause of tha continual human interventioninvolved in most drilling operations and because of the specialisadnature of the equipmentused in them. At the sama time, it was reaogniaedthat the HAZOP method had a capacityto analysesuoh aequenaesof human activity and that this juatifled the development a Drillers?HAZOP tachnique. of DRILLSRSIBAZOPMSTROD As In the classical HAZOP, the projeot documents are studied Kya taam of people with expert knowledge of the subjeot matter, in this case drilling, under the guidanoe of a Chairman experiencedin HAZOP study teahniquea. The team reaponaible 1s usually complatad by a Seoretary for producing the reaord of the team~s deliberation. In practioe, one document la usually chosen to be the oentre of attention; in the DrillerstHAZOP this key dooumentwill usually be the Multiple Activity Chart (sac below) although P 6 I Dta will be used for aorne ayaterne and some aeesionawill be devoted to analysis of equipmentspecification, Cauae and Effeot Charta eto.

As in the traditionalHAZOP, the discussion is based on the identification and assessmentc! deviatioma from the deeired state of affairs. Potential deviatlonaare generated by applying a set of guide words to eaoh section of the study documant. The guide words themaalvea are discussed more fully below. The discussion is oonducted so as to identify the pogeible causea and consequences of eaeh deviation. Nhen a deviationhaa a credible cause and the design is not considered acceptable,a racoamandatlonfor ohange or for further ~tudy will be made. If the team requirefurtherinformation guidanceabout or companypolicy,a queetionwill be asked. In either case, aotion by projeot managementwill ba required,in order to resolvetha problem. The output from the study coneiats of a set of the resulting reoomendatlons and questions. It is convenientto reoord the results of the team Sesaiona in tabular form to enable the origin of any reoo~endationa to be traced. An example format for a record sheet la shown as Figure 1. Non-significant iteme (trivial consequences or discuasiona not leading to requirements for q ction) are usuallynot reeorded.
Aa with q ll eafety etudiea, a meohanismmust exlat for ensuringthat the teamtarecommendation and and questions qre acted upon promptly q ffectively. It la deeirablethat q leaat one O? t the team membershave the authorityto ensure that euah aotion 18 in feat taken.

The development of the multiple activity enables the method to be readily q pplied to q lmoet all drillingoperations. A typioal aet of and ayetema whiah may be reviewed by operation the DrillersHAZOP method are listed in Table 1.

The NAZOP techniquemay apply either to the improvement of existing operations or to the developmentof better designs for new or modified these first of inatallationa. In the ciraumstanoesthe study will ba timed entirely according to the availabilityof key personnel. However,if the study IS to form part of a projeot of for the design, supply and installation new or modifiedfacilitiaathe full benefitsof the study will not be obtainedunless it la initiatedbefore the key da~ign deoiaionahave been taken, so that these may be Influenced by the reoomendations from the study. But, at this stage many details of the deeign may not be known and this means that it is often dasirable to repeat the HAZOP later when a final aeeeaamentis poaaible, A ~ DSVELOFHENT A 14ULTIPLS CTIVZIYRT OP In a conventionalHAZOP study the data base is ueually a well defined set of design documents oompriaing P & I DIS and back-up information oovering daaign apeoifioationa, codes of praotice eto. In non-proaeeetype drilling systeme there IS uautlly no well-defined deeign dooument on whioh to baae the study.

Before the study oan begin, therefore, the team must define a naater docunent,incorporating activities for each an agreed sequence of operation,on which to baae the study. It has been found that the MultipleActivityChart (MAC) serves this purpose very well. MAC@s are the baais for moat DrillersHAZOP study seaaiona. An example MAC for a trippingout operat%onis shown as Figure 2. The multiple aotivity chart ia a means of documentingthe rolee of teama of people working together or in parallel to aohieve a oommon purpose. The suggeeted format for a MAC haa bean evolvedover a number of oaae studiesand found to be effloient. Some ehangee may be found desirable,however,to suit the ciroumstanoea a of particularoaae or to fit in with a particular teamsmethod of working.
A set of some 15 generalisedMACS have been producedaa part of the DrillersHAZOP projeot, and are Inoluded in the method manual. These include all the operationa oovered in the ease atudiea (see below), and meet of those activities listed in Table 1. These ganemliaed MACS would normallybe the startingpoint for the development of a MAC for a apeeifio operation In a study aeaaion. Whilst the developmentef the MAC will ativity of the HAZOPteam, the be the firet main q MAC will often oontinueto be revlaedae the study progresses.

A DRILLERS ~ MOVZMENT UP, into three working variables: MOVEMENT DOWN and MOVEMENT ACROSS. Each of these is combined uith the classical Suide vords NO, MORE, LESS and REVERSE to generate the basio aet of deviationawhich is supplementedby othere as required. The guide word sets foP Drillersamd ClaaaiaalUAZOP are compared in Table 2 in uhioh some possible causes of the deviationsare also listed. In conventionalHAZOP it is found that the disouasions aan be initiated moat easily by startingvith the NO FLOW deviation (beoausethis la usually an extreme departure from the designers intention). When NACS are being studied in the Drillers HAZOP, the obvioue starting point is usually NO MOVZMZNT (UP or LXXiN), As in conventional HAZOP, it may not be necessaryto apply the guide word-variable routine rigidly at every step. ?iithan experiencedteam queetionasuoh ae What can go wrong?w may be more productive. The Chairman mat judge when the disciplineof the olaaaioalformat la requiredand when it may be oounter-productive. In many oaaea there is q ahoioe between treatinga particularevent as q do~iatiom or aa a oauae (or even sometimesa 00M0OQUOMO*). In auoh caaes, the Chairman must be oareful to struoture unproductive the diaouaaion so as to avoid repetition. This has been found to be particularly neoessaryin DrilleralHAZOP. Some or all of the deaoriptive phraaea used for deviationsin traditional HAZOP studleemay be found useful in the Drillers veraion but, Rartiaularlywhen the MAC 18 the mater dooument being analysed,additionalonce will be needed.

It Is well known that a group of experta can genaratemore Ldeaa than the same people working on their own; aa one would expect, this applies to problem identification by HAZOPand ia of particular value when problems arise at diaolplinery or organisational boundarlea.
to Tha same baaio method nay be applied almoat every aspeot of drilling, Thus, tha conventional HAZOP la well suited to reviewof the mud system and the modifiedteohniquedescribedin this paper ia q powerful tool for analysis of aotual drilling or of pipe-handlingoperations, whether on fixed or floatinginstallations.

In addition to the ease studies oarried out aa part of tha pro~eot,one of the participating organiaationahave applied the method to a real projeot,albeit in a Mmitad study (of shallowgas problems). This first practical uee of the and Drillers! HAZOP method vaa suceeasful encouraging. Other application of the method to real proJects are baing planned.

The programmeof ease studiesundertakenfor the developmentof the Drillers HAZOP haa been completedand the method is ooneideredto be ready for uee on live projeota. A manual haa been prepared for the guidance of thoee wishing to apply the teahnique and there is a nuoleue of Chairman and Seoretarieaq xperlenoad in ita uze.
