Deepsea Nordkapp – Rig Intake finding register
Summary

Deepsea Nordkapp (DSN) is a 6th generation dynamically positioned harsh environment and winterised semi-submersible of Moss enhanced CS 60E design. DSN is equipped with accommodation and services for a total of 150 (maximum Personnel on Board (POB)).
Odfjell Drilling was given an Acknowledgement of Compliance (AoC) for DSN by Havtil 2nd of May 2019.

Rig inspection conclusion: DSN has been operating on the Norwegian Sector since May 2019, but it is the RIT’s impression and understanding from interviews that the rig is performing very well. The RIT has focused on rig`s status and documentation for drilling on Bestla pilot well for OKEA. Based on completion of the scope of work specified in the rig intake plan, it is the RIT`s recommendation that the Deepsea Nordkapp is qualified to operate for OKEA on their Bestla pilot well. Outstanding Safety critical elements to be verified and fixed prior to RTO.The recommendation is based on verification of Odfjell’s Management system, the rig’s technical condition, evaluation of maintenance systems, procedures and interviews. The details regarding the verifications are described in Rig Inspection Notification letter. The status of the on findings and actions is summarized in Attachment C

Overall rig intake conclusion: Based on the completion of the scope of work specified in the rig intake plan, the RIT recommends that DSN is qualified to operate for OKEA on their Bestla Shallow Gas Pilot Hole operation. This qualification is pending the successful completion of the DP verification, with no critical findings, to be conducted before spud. The recommendation is based on a review of Odfjell’s Company Management System, audit and verification history, including previous Rig Intake documentation, the structure of both onshore and offshore organizations, and the emergency response organization. Additionally, the rig’s technical condition, maintenance system evaluation, and operational requirements were considered.

    Open
    Deadline was:

    O – 1 – Sea Fastening and Equipment Securing

    It was observed that some areas lacked proper securing of equipment, containers, and pallets. This is contrary to Odfjell’s procedure “L3-MODU-ALL-MO-PR018 Sea fastening”, Section 3.1, ref. [25], which emphasizes that loose equipment must be secured in such a way that it cannot fall and block escape routes or cause harm to personnel

    Propose a campaign on DSN focusing on sea fastening according to procedures and laws

  • Observation

    Open
    Deadline was:

    O – 2 – Housekeeping in genera

    Based on the findings above, improvements in housekeeping are recommended. This aligns with Section 19 of the Activities Regulations on the working environment, which requires the workplace to be organized to
    minimize the risk of injury through proper order and cleanliness, and Section 20 on work arrangements, which specifies that work areas should be kept orderly and adequately secured. Increased focus on housekeeping would help meet these requirements and enhance safety.

    Proposal that the Area Responsible follow up their areas and keep the areas as described in the area plan, described in the reference pictures.

    O-5 – Porly marked waste binns

    Used batteries were observed in
    waste bins designated for
    hazardous waste, as they are
    classified as hazardous under the
    Waste Regulations. It is required
    that such bins be clearly marked
    to indicate their contents.
    Additionally, other types of waste
    must also be appropriately labeled
    to ensure proper sorting and
    handling in accordance with the
    Waste Regulations.

    Sixteen items classified as high-critical overdue, as of 28.10.24. Odfjell will close the overdue items. This topic will be followed up with a separate action on the RIT, as it is still considered an open issue due to outstanding
    information that has not yet been accessed. Outstanding items will be evaluated in relation to Bestla SGPH (Shallow Gas Pilot Hole).

    Verify and close the open items in synergy prior to the ROT.

Outstanding items will be evaluated in relation to Bestla SGPH (Shallow Gas Pilot Hole).

    Next ESD test is planned after the Aker BP well before pulling Anchor. Verify
    the report and check open actions from the test.

    Deadline was:

    IS -1 – Inconsistency in Inventory

    There were discrepancies between the inventory list and the actual contents of the lockers managed by a third party. This inconsistency indicates a lack of accurate tracking and documentation of chemical storage. While the data sheet folders existed, they were bulky and contained numerous sheets, making the information difficult to access. This has been noted as an improvement propopsal since it is not solely
    Odfjell’s responsibility. However, a review and cleanup round is recommended.

    IS-2 Ambiguity in Chemical Management and Ownership Responsibilities

    There was uncertainty regarding the expectations for chemical management when I comes to 3rdparties. The responsibilities of Odfjell as the principal enterprise were not clearly defined. This lack of clarity can lead to confusion about accountability and management practices, which
    could impact overall safety and compliance.This indicates that there may be unclear guidelines or protocols in place, which can lead to non-compliance or unsafe handling of chemicals. This has been noted as an improvement propopsal since it is not solely Odfjell’s responsibility. However, it is recommended to clarify responsibilities and expectations
    between the onshore and offshore organization.

    IS – 3 Temporary Waste Containers

    There were many seemingly temporary bins for residual waste, which represent an expensive and environmentally unfriendly fraction. It is recommended to facilitate better sorting by providing more options and fixed stations. For example, outside the drillers’ cabin, a significant amount of blue shoe covers was observed. The residual waste bin was estimated to contain approximately 95% plastic and 5% miscellaneous items. Improving the sorting of waste can lead to both environmental benefits and enhanced economic performance.

    NC-2 – Potential Dropped Objects and Securing of Stored Items

    During the audit, multiple potential dropped objects were identified in various areas, most notably in the main store, where items were improperly stored. Additionally, securing measures for objects stored at height in several locations were observed to be insufficient or poorly implemented. These findings collectively pose a risk of objects falling and causing injury. Both issues are inconsistent with Section 30 of the activities Regulations, which outlines requirements for the design of workplaces and work equipment. Enhanced measures are required to improve storage practices and securing protocols to ensure compliance and mitigate risk.

    Secure or remove improperly stored items, particularly in the main store, to eliminate the risk of dropped objects.Check and implement
    improved securing measures where necessary for objects stored at height to prevent falling hazards.
