Hydrogen Sulfide Or H2S

Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) is a colorless gas that has a pungent odor, is highly toxic & flammable. This heavier-than-air & dangerous gas can attack all workers, including Rescue Workers & result in explosions & fires.

H2S is produced in several industries:
- Oil & Gas Refining
- Mining
- Tannery
- Pulp & paper processing
- Rayon producer

H2S also occurs naturally in:
- Sewers
- Humid place
- Wells, especially wells in the Oil & Gas Industry
- Confined Space
- Volcano

Health problems that can occur when the workers breathe H2S:
- Headache
- Eye irritation
- Faint
- Dead

Safety measures to be taken to protect workers from exposure to hazardous H2S:
- Location must always be controlled by implementing Safety Procedures
- Using proper PPE to protect eyes, nose & body
- Monitoring H2S using a Gas Detector
- Always operating & using Ventilation & Exhaust System to reduce & eliminate H2S
- Conducting First Aid at the right time

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

Workplace Fire Safety

The potential for fire is always present in any workplace. You, your co-workers & the company are responsible for minimizing & preventing fires in the workplace, their damaging risks & impacts by knowing their causes & conditions.

Some tips that can prevent fires in the workplace:

- Cleaning heating & electrical appliances & keeping them in good condition
- Cleaning drains regularly
- Cleaning the oven & stove from spilled grease, sugar, sauces & more
- Keeping paper, aerosols & flammable materials away from heating elements
- Storing flammable liquids away from heat sources, exits & escape routes
- Inspecting, replacing & repairing electrically powered equipment (cables, lights & more)
- Providing Fire Protection Equipment (sprinklers, smoke/heat detectors, alarms, fire hoses, fire extinguishers & more)
