Joint rig intake report
Summary
Borgland Dolphin is an Enhanced Aker H-3, 4th generation, semi-submersible drilling unit with a 5th generation Drilling Package, capable of operating in harsh environments and water depths up to approximately 500 meters and has a max. POB of 100. The unit was built in 1977 as a flotel, vent through a major upgrade and was converted to a MODU in 1998/99. Borgland Dolphin operates under the flag of Bermuda from 21.08.20. An Acknowledgement of Compliance (AoC) certificate was issued by the Petroleum Safety Authorities (PSA), 30th September 2004.
The rig intake process has focused on Wellesley’s rig intake performed for Schweinsteiger in addition to risk based and projects specific scope.The main impressions/ findings from the rig intake are summarized below:
• There has been an open and good communication throughout the rig intake process. Documents have been sent on request without delay.
• Dolphin has good systems and practices regarding health, hygiene, medical emergency preparedness, and Covid-19 preventive measures.
• Still some corrective and planned maintenance work orders outstanding, however there are no safety critical elements overdue.
• According to Dolphins internal procedures a DROPS inspection shall be done every 6 months. A third part company carried out a DROPS inspection in August 2020, a total of 18 findings were identified and are now closed.
• A GAP-analysis and review process ref./1/ has been performed based on DNO’s Company Management System and a complete list of DDAS procedures. No “Major Gaps” were identified during the review process that required an application for exemption. Minor gaps
are bridged in the operational Interface document, ref./2/
• A Rig Inspection ref./3/ was carried out before spud and the impression was that Borgland Dolphin have a high focus on HSE, and the rig is run professionally by very competent crews. The verification team identified 13 findings, all observations. One finding is still
open. The open finding is related to staircase on the wireline deck and is not critical for the Oselvar operation.
• A Tight rig verification was carried out before the rig left the yard and the rig appears ready for operations as no critical barriers were identified. 15 observations were presented and discussed in the closure meeting. No non-conformances were identified. The observations were related to labelling, chemicals, focus on procedures, SOPEP equipment and bundling. Some focus must be given to operational specific environmental aspects and impacts. Substitution of chemicals should also be in focus for the operations in 2021. More
detailed environmental requirements will be specified in the operational bridging document.
• Emergency preparedness: In general Dolphin have proved through both documentation and verification that their emergency response organisations and security measures are robust and found to be satisfying. In addition, DNO have the impression that Dolphin
organisation emphasis learning between the different rigs.
• DNO has reviewed the ten (10) long term AoC exemptions, ref./4/ listed for Borgland Dolphin with respect to the planned well operation in accordance with the Norwegian Oil and Gas Association Handbook for AoC update. The non-conformances with compensating measures were reviewed and found acceptable for the Oselvar operation.
• 3rd party verifications were performed according to scope listed under 4.3.3. In total 91 findings were identified, and current status is that 6 findings are still open. None of these open findings are considered critical for the planned operations.
• Prior to accepting the rig on contract, DNO performed a readiness risk assessment, ref./5/.
Based on completion of the scope of work specified in the rig intake plan and the operational readiness review, it is the RIT’s recommendation that Borgland Dolphin is qualified to operate for DNO on their Oselvar PP&A operation and Gomez Exploration well.
The recommendation is based on familiarization with Dolphin’s Management system, history of audits and verifications including the Wellesley Rig Intake, structure of on- and offshore organization as well as the emergency response organization, the rig’s technical condition,
evaluation of maintenance systems, operational requirements and conditions. The details regarding the verifications are described in chapter 5 and 6, and the status of the findings is summarized in “The Rig Intake Follow Up Register” (Appendix A).
After the rig was finished with the Schweinsteiger well, it was moved and anchored up in Fedafjorden while waiting the Oselvar PP&A Operation and will remain there until planned departure on 21st March.
The remaining actions from the Rig Intake process will continue to be followed up through the “Rig Intake Follow Up Register” (Appendix A) in the Bi-weekly meetings with Dolphin.
