High Pressure, High Temperature (HPHT)

High Pressure, High Temperature (HPHT) is the term used to define:
- Wells that have high pressure or high temperature
- Wells that have a pressure greater than 15,000 psi (103MPa)
- Wells whose temperature is greater than 350 degrees F (177 degrees C)
- High pressure wells that require well control equipment to have a rated working pressure of more than 15,000 psi
- A well in which the fluid flows at a temperature greater than 350 degrees F at the surface

In reality, very few wells operate under HPHT simultaneously. Most wells operate at high pressure or high temperature but are still referred to as HPHT Wells.

Some shallow wells can be found operating under high temperature conditions due to:
- Wells drilled close to local geothermal hotspots will operate at abnormally high temperatures
- Wells drilled close to other wells that use steam injection to reduce the viscosity of heavy oil will have a higher reservoir temperature than normal because the injected steam will raise the temperature of the surrounding formations

To avoid poor performance & failure in the HPHT environment:
- The metal used is carefully selected
- Equipment must be pressure tested to ensure the seal can withstand high pressure to prevent leakage
- Fluid density should always be checked
- A cooling system must be installed before pumping the drilling fluid back into the hole
- Water-based sludge must always be adapted to the HPHT environment

Travel By Boat

Some tips so that you can enjoy your trip by Boat safely.

Before you travel by Boat:
- Don't forget to think about your Security & Safety
- Plan the trip well before you leave so that risks & dangers can be avoided, including by telling someone about the trip
- Get information about safe & dangerous areas to visit
- Get information about weather conditions, currents & waves in the sea

When you travel by Boat:
- Bring necessary equipment (PPE, life jacket, cell phone, waterproof bag, lamp & more)
- Obey the regulations that apply to Boats at sea
- Wear a life jacket at all times
- Bring enough items so that the boat is not filled with items that can endanger the safety
- Save people who fall into the sea by bringing them back to the Boat as quickly as possible
- Avoid Hypothermia by keeping yourself from cold temperatures & cold water that sticks to clothes, body & others
- Wear dry clothes
- Check the water level before swimming & diving
- Know the limits for swimming & diving
- Don't swim in the sea alone
- Return the one who swims alone in the sea to the Boat

When an emergency occurs at sea:
- Contact those who can help & save you
- Try not to try to swim to the areas that you don't know
- Stay on the Boat & near the Boat while waiting for help

Incident Controller

“Fact: All employers should always be aware of any emergency – Fire, Gas Leak & others – will always happen in the workplace”.

The fact above is a guideline for companies to always have a Special Team that performs certain roles (Security & Safety Team, Fire Team & others). All these teams should be managed by Incident Controllers.

The Incident Controllers are responsible for:
- Creating an Emergency Response Plan & define strategies to control incidents
- Monitoring the safety of all employees
- Collaborating with individuals & teams according to the tasks to be done
- Delegating authority to act
- Responding to & managing hazards & risks
- Monitoring, identifying, handling & controlling incidents & emergencies by coordinating with the entire team that can assist (Firefighter Team, Security & Safety Team & others)
- Looking for additional information about the incident that occurred
- Communicating with all personnel & providing information through the Command Center
- Using Radio to call other teams who will help deal with incidents
- Investigating & stopping the cause of the incident
- Reviewing, evaluating & revising the plans & actions that have been taken

Health, Safety & Environment (HSE)

Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) is implemented in all companies so that:
- Work can be done smoothly, safely & comfortably
- Companies can maintain the health of their employees
- Environment remains sustainable & environmental damage can be avoided

* Health is the top priority when working. Whatever the form of work, the health of the employees must be maintained & supervised so that productivity & operations at the companies can continue & are not damaged. Companies must take care that their employees do not experience disturbances & diseases. If the employee is sick, the company suffers a loss because the employee cannot do the job.

* The Principle of Safety in the company is the most important thing so that all employees who work can be safe & continue to do their jobs. By applying the Safety Principles, employees do not experience work accidents & can avoid injury & death.

* All work carried out must not have a negative impact on the environment & must not be the axis of a cause that causes the environment to be damaged. The company & its employees must know the environment & its impacts so that the work can run without damaging the environment.

Drilling Technology

Advances in Technology used in Oil & Gas Industry play the most important role to provide the best benefit to this industry. The latest technology in the Oil & Gas world will provide the ability to:
- Find new resources
- Get into difficult & remote locations
- Develop Reservoir that is previously uneconomical to produce

Knowledge of Technology in the Drilling Process is needed so that the Drilling Process can be carried out by Drillers in collaboration with Non-Drilling personnel. Some useful knowledge for both parties:
- Wells can be disrupted due to changes in hole conditions & pressure in the hole
- Drilling fluid is used as the main tool to control the wellbore pressure
- Precise Geometric & Geological Wellbore placement can provide benefits for field productivity
- Unproductive time can disrupt the Drilling Process
- The Drilling Process must be carried out properly so that the balance between the company, the environment & society can be created properly
- Risks that can occur in the Drilling Process must be handled so that the performance of personnel & Processes for Safety, Security, Health & Environment can be run & maintained properly & perfectly
