Prior to beginning any rig move, a Pre-Job Plan Meeting is executed. Pre-Job Planning is mandatory prior to project start-up which includes a meeting of the oil company representative, drilling rig manager, construction foreman and PEWAT Field Supervisor.
Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)
• Job Safety Analysis (JSA)
• Hazard Identification (HID)
• Near Miss Reporting
Our system to analyze each job or task is a process that identifies the hazards associated with the work and is a way of eliminating hazards. In the case where hazards cannot be eliminated then controls or corrective measures are implemented. A Standard Operating Procedure is considered to be an appropriate control document. Where a SOP does not exist or does not meet the requirements of a job, then a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) must be developed at the field level.
Planning Identification:
• Rig move routing identified
• Critical lifts are documented
• Roads that can be used are identified
• Road Use Agreements are in place with forestry, county or Company
• Identify and eliminate hazards
• Identify old and new lease conditions
• Extra support services or equipment required (towing, lights, permits, scales)
Action Plan:
• Decide on how to start the rig move (which loads first)
• Organize equipment
• Agree on amount of equipment needed
(Beds, Pickers, Tractors, Trailers, Cranes, Personnel, etc.)
• Set start time• Identify equipment that needs to be dismantled (derrick, sub)
Emergency Response Plan:• Ensure emergency numbers and organizations are communicated to team members (RCMP, Ambulance, WCB, HSE Representative) At the discretion of the Field Supervisor and for the safety of all employees, a rig move may be cancelled at any time due to poor weather or lease conditions.
The Oilfield Services Division relies heavily on the expertise of our Field Supervisors. They are expected to conduct themselves in a safe and professional manner while in the field and as such we have high standards and expectations.
It is the role of our field supervisors to communicate rig move requirements before, during and after job completion. Proper pre-Job Planning, load coordination and load transfer is the backbone to a successful move.
Our field supervisors are trained to monitor and observe safe work performance. Unsafe work habits are noted and corrected immediately. Our HSE Department is advised of this Opportunity for Improvement and a policy is updated or implemented to ensure the incident does not happen again.
As leaders, Field Supervisors are expected to:
• Demonstrate how to perform a task safely and correctly
• Observe employee as he/she performs the task
• Correct any mistakes
• Ensure corrected method is repeated until performed properly and safely
