Zohr Field Process Safety Operative Self-Assessment
Abstract Zohr field has developed a smart tool for the Process Safety compliance self-assessment. Scope of the tool is to evaluate field Process Safety Management system performance as well as driving a step change in field culture by making Process Safety a transversal target for all departments, not only HSE. To reach this scope, an internal Field multidisciplinary team has been created with the scope to verify the Process Safety pillars compliance through a simplified check list and scoring model. The initial 8 key elements are: ESDs Alarm management Safety Critical Elements Overrides Loss of Primary Containment Management of Change Permit to Work Manuals/Procedures For each elements a weighted scoring model from 0 to 5, composed by multiple questions, has been defined; a detailed guidance is supporting and assisting the team during the assessment. Once completed the scoring model a traffic lights system integrated with a spider diagram will automatically represents the field compliance with the elements. A quick and immediate graphic representation identifies then the main gaps for each elements. Based on those results the multidisciplinary team defines an Action Plan to be addressed to the relevant dpt for improvement and follow-up. The assessment frequency has been set to 6 months and the multidisciplinary team is appointed on rotation basis by Zohr Field General Manager and the relevant Department General Manager. The first PS self-assessment performed in Zohr in September 19 showed the PTW system and SCE management as the main points of strength while the Management of Change implementation and the ESD tracking as the elements to be improved. In particular Zohr has already set a robust system for the PTW management through a dedicated technical process team SIMOPS and developed a robust override and leak management system across the related departments. As all the plant modifications have been managed so far thorough a DCN (Design Change) System with project support, as action plan was foreseen to implement a dedicated system for the electronic management of the MoC. The first assessment highlighted also the need to improve the actions monitoring to keep traced all the findings coming from the RCA of the plant ESD and PSD. Moreover as additional benefit the interactive self-assessment tool effectively contributed to spread across all the departments the Process Safety terminology and culture in order to allow the team to get familiar with the pillars with a smart and user friendly approach.
