Role Of HDA And Emergency On Helideck




Role Of HDA

Helideck Assistants (HDA) are personnel who work closely with the Helideck Landing Officer (HLO) to achieve the Safety Target at Helideck. HDA is also part of the Helideck Emergency Response Team.

Some responsibilities that must be carried out by HDA:
- Ensure safe and smooth operation of the Helideck and Helicopter
- Ensure safety and efficiency on the Helideck: Before, during, and after the operation
- Ensure that Helicopters can safely land and take off at Offshore Facilities (oil rigs, ships, etc.) or even land-based Heliports
- Assist and support HLO in various routine operations on the Helideck
- Maintain and test equipment
- Ensure safe embarkation and disembarkation of passengers boarding and disembarking from Helicopters
- Handle the transfer of goods and baggage to and from the Helicopter
- Handle emergencies on the Helicopter and Helideck

If an emergency occurs on the Helicopter and Helideck, HDA will take several actions:
- Provide information to responsible parties to help respond to emergencies: Emergency Response Team, Rescue Team, and HLO
- Remain calm and follow directions and instructions from the Emergency Response Team, Rescue Team, and HLO
- Prioritize the safety of all personnel and crew on the Helicopter and Helideck
- Extinguish the fire
- Carry out the Evacuation procedures quickly and calmly by directing everyone in the Helicopter and Helideck to leave the Helicopter and Helideck and move to the designated gathering point/emergency place
- Provide medical assistance
- Check and report the state and condition of the Helicopter, Helideck, and people, especially in the event of injury or death


Emergency On Helideck

The Helideck is a special area that has special equipment, so not everyone can enter the Helideck. Only those who have been trained may enter the Helideck. Therefore, not everyone can extinguish fires that occur on the Helideck.

If a fire or emergency occurs on the Helideck, several things that must be done are:
- Prioritizing self-safety
- Calling the teams that can help: Emergency Response Team, Rescue Team, HLO and HDA
- Using Communication Equipment to notify the Emergency Response Team, Rescue Team, HLO, and HDA of the location where the fire or emergency occurs
- Complying with and carrying out instructions given by the Emergency Response Team, Rescue Team, HLO and HDA
- Top priority: Immediately carrying out the Evacuation Process safely
- Using predetermined escape routes
- Self-protecting from smoke
- Self-protecting in a safe place, including behind a fireproof place

Helidecks usually have their fire extinguishers and trained Emergency Response Team, Rescue Team, HLO, and HDA who have knowledge of:
- Emergency Response Plan and Process
- Ways to extinguish fires properly

The Visit Of Chairman And CEO Of Microsoft Satya Nadella To Indonesia And Microsoft Build: AI Day 2024 In Jakarta




Below are some of my views regarding the visit done by the Chairman and CEO of Microsoft Satya Nadella to Indonesia and Microsoft Build: AI Day in Jakarta which was held on April 30, 2024.




The Visit Of The Chairman And CEO Of Microsoft Satya Nadella to Indonesia

- The visit of the Chairman and CEO of Microsoft Satya Nadella to Indonesia, including his meeting with Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), is very important for the development of business, technology, and AI in Indonesia

- By providing an investment of US$ 1.7 M / Rp. 27.6 T to Indonesia to build the Data Center, Microsoft as the largest technology company in the world has emphasized its very important role in helping the development of business and technology in Indonesia




- The technology at Microsoft is always new and updated, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) Technology, Microsoft Copilot, and others, and it shows that Microsoft is always developing and renewing itself

- Microsoft's plan to "produce" thousands of AI Experts in Indonesia is proof that Microsoft views Indonesia as the country producing the best technology in the world

- Microsoft's plan to create and support the development of AI in Indonesia is proof that Microsoft understands that AI is a sector that is needed in Indonesia


Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan - the Coordinating Minister of Maritime and Investment Affairs of Indonesia






Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan - the Coordinating Minister of Maritime and Investment Affairs of Indonesia - was also present at the Microsoft Build: AI Day 2024 In Jakarta to convince and strengthen Microsoft to expand its business and technology in Indonesia. Luhut even opened the "door" for Microsoft to come to his office and discuss cooperation that could be carried out by Microsoft and Indonesia.


My Personal View And Opinion About The Collaboration Done By Microsoft And Indonesia For The New Capital City In Indonesia

My personal view and opinion are that Indonesia's Newest Capital City in Nusantara / Kalimantan is one of the strongest reasons for Microsoft through Satya Nadella to further strengthen its business and technology in Indonesia. I think that Microsoft and Satya Nadella really believe that this new capital city will make Indonesia bigger, which in turn will also make Microsoft bigger. The business opportunities available in this new capital city are truly enormous, and technology is definitely needed in this new capital city.

I remember that several years ago, Jokowi visited Microsoft's event and showed a map of the new capital city in Nusantara / Kalimantan. I think this was a sign given by Jokowi to ask Microsoft to play a role in building the new capital city. I believe that Microsoft has answered Jokowi's sign by donating a very large amount of investment.

Congratulations to Jokowi and Microsoft. Hopefully, this collaboration will bring goodness to Indonesia.

Stuck Pipe In The Oil And Gas Industry




In the Oil and Gas Industry, stuck pipe refers to a situation where the drill string cannot move downhole. This means the pipe cannot be moved up, down, or even rotated. This is a nuisance for drillers because it stops drilling operations until the pipe is freed.

Some common causes of stuck pipes:
- Pressure difference between the wellbore and the formation
- Mechanical problems
- Formation characteristics: Soil disturbance

Specifically, stuck pipes in Oil and Gas Drilling can be caused by two main areas – mechanical sticking and differential sticking:

* Mechanical Sticking:
- This occurs when the drill pipe damages the wellbore wall, causing a groove or indentation. Pipes can then get stuck in these grooves.
- Holes that are not cleaned cause drill cuttings to accumulate around the drill string
- Certain formations, especially shale, can absorb air from the drilling fluid and swell, pinching the drill pipe
- If the wellbore wall weakens and collapses, the drill string can become trapped
- Soft formations such as salt can damage and stress the drill pipe
- Large pieces of formation or debris can bridge the gap between the drill pipe and the wellbore wall, effectively wedging the pipe in place

* Differential Sticking:
- When the pressure in the drill pipe is lower than the pressure in the formation, the formation can press on the pipe with such force that it gets stuck
- Heavier mud provides higher hydrostatic pressure, thereby increasing the risk of differential sticking
- Drilling through a depleted formation with very low pore pressure will create a larger pressure difference, resulting in the possibility of sticking
- Differential stickiness is more likely to occur when the drill string does not move for a long time, allowing the filter cake to fully expand. Thicker filter cake provides a larger contact area for working pressure, thereby increasing adhesion.

Various negative things that happen due to stuck pipes:
- Cost loss: Stuck pipe is a serious problem that can cost the Oil and Gas Industry millions of dollars each year
- Loss of time: Because the effort to free the pipe after a stuck pipe is very complicated and difficult, production time is lost in vain
- Total loss: Due to the severity of the stuck pipe, what often happens is that the well has to be abandoned completely without producing anything

Some ways to prevent stuck pipes and minimize the possibility of suck pipes:
- Monitor the condition of the wellbore carefully
- Use drilling fluids designed to stabilize the wellbore
- Maintain the well hole by cleaning it in the right way
- Use an appropriate mud weight that balances wellbore stability by minimizing pressure differences
- Choose a drill pipe that suits the formation being drilled
- Keep the drill string moving during operation helps prevent the formation of filter cake
- Monitor the wellbore pressure that can help to identify situations where differential sticking may pose a risk

By having knowledge about the stuck pipe, drilling crews can:
- Take action to prevent it
- Avoid detrimental problems
- Ensure smooth well operations

Permit To Work




Regulations in all countries require all companies and their workers to create and have a Permit To Work (PTW). Specifically, PTW is a formal document used in various industries whose operations are potentially dangerous.

The reasons why workers need PTW:

- Their safety is always maintained
- Accidents and injuries can be prevented from occurring
- Any work, especially high-risk work, can be done safely
- Hazards and risks can be identified and controlled before work begins

PTW is a written permit that specifies:

- High-risk work and safe work
- The safe work that is allowed to be carried out
- Day and time to do the work
- Qualifications of workers permitted to do the work. These workers must have taken the appropriate training and knowledge to perform their duties safely.
- Safety procedures that must be followed
- Dangers and risks
- Safety checks that should be done before the work starts
- Ways to identify and control hazards
- Safety measures that must be taken so that the work can be carried out safely
- Safety and control measures that must be taken so that accidents can be avoided and handled
- Communication and instructions that must be carried out by everyone involved in the work: Workers, Supervisors and others
- Supervision must be exercised to ensure that only authorized personnel are involved and that all necessary precautions are taken

When the workers sign the PTW, they show that they understand the risks involved and what precautions are necessary.

Several things that happen if workers do not have PTW:

- Accidents and injuries will definitely happen
- Legal Issues: Work will be stopped by the authorities and the authorities will issue a fine to the company
- Employment Relation Issues: The company can give warnings to the workers, and can even terminate employment
- Financial Issues: If accidents and injuries occur, the insurance process will become difficult to carry out

The essence of PTW is Protection for all parties, both companies and workers!

Introduction To The Drilling Process In The Oil And Gas Industry




This explanation is a simple description of the drilling process in the Oil and Gas Industry. The drilling process is a complex and exciting field that combines many techniques, geology, and technology. Get interesting information about the drilling process in the Oil and Gas Industry through the explanation below.

* Basic information:

- The drilling process in the Oil and Gas Industry is an important process for extracting valuable resources from underground
- The drilling process essentially creates narrow vertical holes in the earth's crust to reach oil and gas reserves
- The drilling process is achieved using large drilling rigs, which are essentially self-contained drilling machines
- Oil and Gas companies usually hire special drilling contractors to perform this task

* Understanding of different drilling environments:

The drilling process can be carried out both on land and sea / offshore. The offshore drilling process requires special rigs designed to operate on platforms or ships.

* Drilling Process:

- Preparation: Careful planning is paramount. Geologists determine promising locations and engineers design wells based on expected underground conditions. Then the drilling location is prepared which includes the construction of an access road and a disposal hole for waste material.
- Setting Up the Rig: A drilling rig is a complex machine with a towering crane, a pulling machine for the lifting equipment, and a turntable that rotates the drill string. The drill string is a series of long hollow pipes that connect the surface to the drill bit at the bottom.
- Drilling: A drill bit attached to the end of the drill string crushes the rock as the turntable rotates it. Special mud is continuously pumped down the drill string and back to the surface, carrying rock chips and cooling the drill bit. This mud also helps stabilize the wellbore and prevents underground fluids from entering the well.
- Reaching the Target Zone: Drilling continues until the target depth is reached, where oil and gas are thought to be present. Throughout this process, various measurements and tests are performed to monitor conditions and ensure safety.
- Completing the Well: Once the target zone is reached, the well is "completed" by installing a casing (steel pipe) to stabilize the wellbore and isolate different formations. Finally, production equipment is installed to bring the oil and gas to the surface.
