First Aid

All incidents, accidents & emergencies can cause our heart to stop beating. What happens when the heart stops?
- Blood flow will stop
- Brain damage will occur
- The victim will die

Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) will be able to save the victim if it is done within 4 minutes after the heart stops. CPR provides oxygenated blood flow to the brain & heart & keeps these organs alive.

Some things to do when performing CPR:
- Communicating with the victim: If the victim can answer your question, then CPR is not necessary
- If the victim does not answer, then CPR must be done immediately
- Placing two fingertips on the carotid artery which is located in the groove between the throat & neck muscles & applying slight pressure for a few seconds
- Then press the victim's chest down using your 2 hands to a depth of 2 inches (2 hands, 2 inches)
- The chest is pressed 30 times at a rate of 3 pressures every 2 seconds or 100 pressures per minute
- Then tilting the head back by pressing the victim's forehead down & lifting the chin up to open the way for breathing
- Listening to the breathing: Has the victim started to breathe?
- If the victim is still not breathing normally, give mouth-to-mouth or mouth-to-nose breaths: Pinching the nose & covering the mouth with your mouth & blow the mouth until the chest rises
- If there is still no response, then you must immediately contact the nearest Hospital & Medical Officer

Fire

When a fire occurs, some things to watch out for are:
- Smoke that carries heat & toxic gases & blurs vision
- Reduced Oxygen
- Temperature becomes high/hot
- Presence of harmful toxins (toxic dust, radiation & others)

Not all fires can be extinguished with water because:
- Boiling water will make the fire bigger
- Some chemical products react with water & produce a toxic gas which will cause & enlarge fire
- Fires that occur in hydrocarbons, gasoline, oil, alcohol & others occur on the water
- Fires in some facilities, such as tanks, will enlarge when extinguished with water because water sprayed into the tank will damage the tank & exacerbate the fire
- Fires in electricity cannot be extinguished with water because water can act as a conductor

If you cannot use water to extinguish a fire:
- Foam will be used as a big fire extinguisher
- Fire Blanket will be used as a small fire extinguisher

Effective advice for homeowners: Have & keep some Fire Blankets at home. Fire Blankets can be used to extinguish fires by placing a fire blanket over burning objects, such as Pans & Small Stoves. When the Pans & Small Stoves are covered with the Fire Blankets, the oxygen flow to the fire can be removed & the fire will be extinguished.

Best advice for building & closed location owners: Have Ventilation that can isolate fire & draw fire from trapped objects. The Ventilation can channel fire to nearby openings & push smoke & heat out of the building, so Firefighters can extinguish fires safely & limit damage from smoke, heat & water.

Accident Reporting And Investigation

Things to do when an accident occurs in the workplace:
- Closing & securing the accident site/location by limiting access to the scene to avoid secondary accidents
- Equipment & materials involved in the accident must be secured
- First Aid must be carried out immediately by appointed & trained staff
- Actions to save the victims must be taken immediately, including by bringing in Medical Officers & providing proper Medical Treatment
- Site Supervisors & Rescue Teams who carry out rescue actions must coordinate & communicate with the management
- The company must deal with the stress & emotional disturbance that occurs to the victims
- The company must investigate the accident
- The company must make Accident Report
- The company must report accidents that occur to the right party
- The company must also carry out a “Back to Work Program” in which the company seeks to ensure that employees who are the victims can return to work so that they do not experience further stress & trauma

When the investigation process is carried out, several things must be done are:
- Reviewing the causes of the accidents
- Assessing the injuries that occurred to the victims
- Collecting evidence
- Interviewing witnesses
- Taking photos
- Making reports on accidents, victims, injuries, losses & more
- The company must ensure that the report is accurate & honest

Important Note:
- Accident Reports can be used as the basis of a Plan/Program to Handle Injury & Accidents
- If the company does not make an Accident Report, then the loss will occur because the company has to pay fines besides paying insurance costs, medical treatment costs & wage replacement costs

All of the above can save the company & its employees from other accidents.

Well Intervention

All wells & their spare parts in the Oil & Gas Industry will require maintenance, repair & replacement. It is at this time that the Well Intervention will begin.

Well Intervention falls into two categories:

- Light Intervention: Technician lowers tool/sensor into the live well when pressure is retained at the surface. Well Service Officers perform the Light Interventions using Slickline, Wireline, or Coiled Pipe. This system allows the Operator to avoid blockages in the well. The Light Intervention also modifies/adapts Downhole Equipment (valves & pumps) & to collect data on downhole pressure, temperature & flow.

- Heavy Intervention: Rig Crew can stop production in formation before making major equipment changes. The Heavy Intervention requires Rig Crew to remove the wellhead & other pressure barriers from the well for full access to the wellbore. This operation requires a Rig to remove & reinstall the wellhead & finishing equipment. The Heavy Intervention is carried out to replace spare parts (pipeline & pump) & to close & leave the original production zone to reconfigure the well to produce from the secondary zone.

Stuck Pipe

The Drilling Operation in the Oil & Gas Industry is one of the riskiest activities in the world. When carrying out the Drilling Process, the stuck pipe is one of the most critical problems because:
- Costs bigger & more expensive than the cost of the well
- The company suffers a loss for the time that has been given & the money that has been spent
- The well is "broken"

Several things happen that indicate that the pipe is stuck:
- The pipe cannot be removed from the hole without damaging the pipe
- The drill string cannot be moved (rotated & pushed up & down) along the axis of the wellbore
- The drill string is embedded in the mud cake that forms on the walls of the permeable zone

The stuck pipe occurs because of:
- Improper hole cleaning
- Poor wellbore & well track stability
- Improper drilling fluid
- Different hole assembly designs
- Pressure in the pores
- Lower mud density

The stuck pipe can be prevented & treated by providing tools that can:
- Predict the onset of congestion in the pipeline
- Solve congestion in pipes
- Improve the Drilling Process

Well Control

The Definition of “Well Control” – one of the most important aspects of Drilling Operations in the Oil & Gas Industry:
- Managing the harmful effects caused by the unexpected release of formation fluids (natural gas & crude oil) on Oil & Gas Drilling Rig equipment
- Preventing gas & formation fluids (hydrocarbons) from entering the wellbore while drilling the well
- Monitoring the well, especially to watch for signs of formation fluid entering the wellbore during drilling
- Taking appropriate corrective action by stopping the well

“Well Control” on the Drilling Rig must be done when:
- The rig position has been determined
- Drilling process & finishing process carried out
- Other drilling operations carried out

Failure to manage & control wells can lead to:
- Damage to equipment
- Interference with safety
- Explosion
- Fire
- Serious injury
- Loss of life of personnel in the field
- Loss of valuable resources
- Irreparable environmental damage
- Presence of hazardous waste

Shut-In Well

In the Oil & Gas Industry, the definition of a shut-in well is:

- Wells whose production is stopped by shutting in the casing heads & pipe or by stopping the pumping. This is done to reduce oil production.
- Limiting the amount of production. This is done to limit the supply of oil & also to prevent an emergency from occurring when the crew is evacuated.

What happens if the well is not shut-in properly? If the shut-in of the well is not done immediately, an explosion will likely occur. Shutting-in procedures are usually carried out on every rig activity (drilling, tripping, logging, tubular running, conducting drill rod tests & so on).
