INTRODUCTION
The questionnaire is intended to assist auditors by illustrating the potential scope to
be covered in the auditing process. The questionnaire is not intended as a script for
the audit process and interviews, nor is it intended that each and every question
should be used. It suggests generic lines of enquiry and requires to be tailored down to
suit the terms of reference for the specifc organisation, activity or facility to be
audited.
The questions are grouped such that they cover distinct topics applicable within the
context of each chapter with an element of prioritisation i.e. high level questions are
given frst where possible. Within each group of questions covering a distinct topic,
there are a number of indented subsidiary questions as follows:
The main question
A subsidiary question of the main question
A subsidiary question of above.
Cf a main 5uestion is a dead end it does not automaticall6 follow that
subsidiar6 5uestions are dead ends as well.
In preparing for auditing the specifc topic and developing the structure for conducting
audit interviews with selected staf, the auditor should:
;e=iew the section of the 5uestionnaire to obtain an o=er=iew of rele=ance
within the conte+t of the to#ic audited.
/elect the areas most rele=ant to the #erson he is going to inter=iew.
Cdentif6 the most im#ortant 5uestions to ask whilst realising the
a##ro#riateness in the conte+t of relati=e organisational le=el of the
inter=iewee.
Con=ert generic 5uestions to 5uestions which are s#eci4c to the facilit6 or
acti=it6 audited.
Add other 5uestions which are not gi=en in the 5uestionnaire .
'HSE' in questionnaires means 'Health, Safety and Environment', not just 'Safety': the
auditor should make sure that all 3 felds are adequately covered
The questionnaire is available in Word for Window format on IBM-PC 5.25" or 3.25"
diskette.
Audit questions are aligned to EP-95000 Volume 1-3. Volume 1 questions (HSE
Management System) are common to all audits.

4.1.1' .imultaneous 7concurrent8 o!erations
All supervisors involved in simultaneous ops. should meet daily to identify and resolve
any potential overlap of operations and responsibilities. A fundamental rule for
SIMOPS is to classify all operations as either hazardous or non hazardous and only
allow one hazardous operation to occur at any one time. Single point responsibility is
essential. All supervisors controlling discreet operations must report and liaise
through the single point. The (head) of simultaneous ops. must be trained/competent
to be able to make sound decisions.
Management inspections should be carried out jointly by platform/rig based
supervisors.
Plan directional drilling logically.(high angle wells from outer slots) to minimise risks
and make well paths uncomplicated. Have a well defned cone of uncertainty and a
consequential well shut in policy. The essential issues are included in the following
questions.
How is the interface between rig and the overall facility managed?
Are daily ops. meetings held, who attends, are they minuted?

confned to those aspects of operations which are directly under the control of the Well
Operations department and their contractors. If detail is required, then the audit
should either be combined with a logistics specialist as a team member or be the
subject of a separate audit. Issues included in drilling operations audits should be
limited to control of known hazards which would be addressed in the HSE case.

4.> SER6ICE CONTRACTORS
A signifcant proportion of well operations are carried out by service contractors and
attention to service company personnel and services forms a necessary part of the
audit process. The main problem areas are to be found in compliance with Company
standards specifed in the contract . Also lifting equipment used by service contractors
is not included in the drilling contractor's inspection system, and separate
documentation of inspection and NDT testing is therefore required. Particular
attention should given to the suitability of equipment for use in hazardous Zone 1 and
2 areas along with possible sour service application.
Look for the extent to which service contractor personnel are integrated with the
drilling contractor's safety systems. All rig site personnel should participate in safety
meetings, drills and take full part in the site-specifc HSE programme.
