Control Room Operator

When an emergency occurs, the Control Room Operators (CRO) will receive incoming information & serve incoming calls via telephone & several other communication tools (Headset, Radio, Computer & others). They are responsible for:

- Handling incoming emergency calls & prioritizing them

- Receiving the information provided by the caller

- Assessing whether the information is urgent or not

- Deciding the best action to take

- Guiding & directing the Emergency Service Team to deal with incidents that occur

- Staying in touch with the team on the scene to get information about the situation

- Ensuring that the safety of employees is maintained

- Ensuring that the team at the scene takes appropriate actions according to the approved plans & procedures

- Cooperating with Safety Officers, Security Officers, Fire Teams, Paramedics & various appropriate parties

Some CROs also work for:

- Monitoring company operations

- Ensuring all equipment is functioning properly

- Controlling all workers

Some companies also divide the role of CRO into 2 parts: one part to receive incoming calls & another part to send Emergency Services Team.

Workplace Fire Safety

A fact that we cannot deny is that any workplace can be exposed to fire. Therefore, all workplaces must have preventive measures & procedures to deal with the fires that occur.

Some things to do to prevent fires from happening in the workplace:

- The workplace must always be clean & cleaned of various combustible materials

- All items in the workplace must be stored safely & away from fire

- All machines, cables & electrical equipment must always be checked, tested & controlled

- All machines & equipment, especially electrical equipment, which is damaged must be repaired immediately

- The workplace must prevent heat & sparks

- Chemicals, especially flammable ones, must be stored safely

- The workplace should avoid the use of flammable tools where employees work

- Appropriate fire fighting equipment should be placed behind desks, emergency stairs, near machines & all areas of the workplace

- Smoke Detectors & Alarms must be installed throughout the building & tested regularly

- Batteries in Smoke Detectors & Alarms must be replaced annually

- Employees must have the ability to use Fire Extinguishers

The employees who know the best action in an emergency can help prevent major disasters & unnecessary loss of life & infrastructure, so all employees must be given the ability to deal with fires in the workplace by taking proper & regular training.

High Pressure High Temperature - Oil And Gas Industry

The definition of High-Pressure High-Temperature (HPHT) is:

- High-pressure wells have a pressure greater than 15,000 psi (103 Mpa)

- High-temperature wells have a temperature above 177 degrees Celsius

Some of the conditions that occur when HPHT Operation is performed:

- Because the Bottom Hole is located close to the Geothermal Hotspot, the temperature under the Hole quickly increases

- Steam injection used to help produce heavy oil can greatly increase the bottom hole temperature

- Deepwater wells can have high pressure & temperature due to the Geothermal Gradient

- Wells drilled with oil-based mud systems tend to have higher downhole temperatures

Various things that should be done so that HPHT Operation can be carried out safely:

- Drillers must predict pore pressures before drilling into the formation

- Engineers have to calculate pressure using Hydrostatic Gradient-based on the weight of seawater

- To reduce the effect of high pressure, Engineers focus on metallurgy & sealing

- For Well Operation to be carried out safely, Engineers must use proper equipment

- To ensure that the equipment used is the right one, Operators must first know the maximum pressure potential

- To ensure that operation can be carried out safely, the equipment must be functionally tested before use

- To prevent formation fluids from entering the wellbore during drilling, Engineers use weighted drilling fluids

- Drilling fluid can be cooled before being circulated down the hole to protect sensitive BHA components

- Hydrostatic pressures higher than those predicted by the Normal Pressure Gradient are often required to overcome reservoir pore pressures

Some of the emergencies that usually occur when the HPHT Operation is performed:

- Lost time

- Broken equipment

- Injured personnel

The personnel who work in HPHT need the right knowledge & skills, special equipment & regular training.

Health And Safety Program

If the companies can provide protection, safety & a positive & safe atmosphere, then their employees will provide the best service, quality & productivity & their employees will work correctly & comfortably. Therefore, the companies are advised to increase the “Humanity” in their business by investing in the safety, security & comfort of their employees. The main thing that must be done by the companies is to implement a Health & Safety Program, especially if the employees are doing high-risk work & can get injured & die.

With the right Health & Safety Program, the companies can:

- Identify & control workplace hazards

- Provide security & safety to its employees

- Improve the health & safety of its employees

- Protect the employees from various hazards & accidents by having proper procedures & equipment

- Avoid & reduce risk

- Limit the financial losses due to injury & illness

- Promote a positive Health & Safety Culture

- Provide guidance to properly conduct Health & Safety Processes (workplace inspections, investigations, safe work procedures, management meetings for Health & Safety, Health & Safety Committee requirements & more)

- Provide the Security Programs, Lockout Programs, Fall Protection Programs, Confined Space Programs & more

The courses related to the Health & Safety Program must be conducted regularly so that the companies can conduct their business properly.

Confined Space Rescue Team

When the work is done in a Confined Space, the company must assign a Rescue Team to be outside the Confined Space, entrances & exits so that they can rescue the workers inside the Confined Space when an emergency occurs.

Three types of Rescue Actions that can be done when an emergency occurs in the Confined Space:

- Actions to self-rescue from Confined Space are carried out when the workers can recognize danger & can get out of Confined Space without assistance. The act of self-rescue has many advantages as the Rescue Team does not need to enter the Confined Space & other risks will not occur. The workers who manage to save themselves & are still conscious will be able to recover quickly too & avoid serious exposure & injury.

- Actions to save the workers from Confined Space by retrieving them are carried out when the workers are unconscious. When this is done, the Rescue Team must ensure that the equipment to retrieve the workers can be used safely. One thing to consider when using equipment to retrieve the workers from Confined Spaces is that the presence of obstacles & twists can complicate the rescue process.

- Actions to save the workers by sending the Rescue Team to the Confined Space are taken when a major emergency occurs. This may also pose a risk to the Rescue Team. It must be ensured that the workers & the Rescue Team are using proper equipment (PPE, SCBA, harness, ropes & others). The communication must always be carried out by the Rescue Team who will enter the Confined Space, the personnel outside the Confined Space & the workers inside the Confined Space if they are still conscious.

For the action to rescue the workers in the Confined Spaces to be carried out safely, the Rescue Team must take the proper training, follow prescribed emergency & evacuation procedures & use appropriate rescue equipment. The rescue exercises in the Confined Spaces must also be carried out regularly.
