Disaster Drill

LAND RIGS

SCOPE

The primary requirement when an incident of any type occurs on a drilling site is to respond as
quickly as possible with the right equipment and trained personnel to insure a successful
conclusion (bring the rig back to a normal working condition) to an extreme event such as a
disaster. This Disaster Drill Plan (Land Rigs) objective is to activate all resources required, both
on site and Saudi Aramco organizational, to address an emergency as effectively as possible, in
the shortest possible time.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this disaster drill procedure is to give direction and define the emergency
preparedness within the organization, and provide route of practice and action, both on site and
organizational within drilling, for responding to an emergency event, with the available resources
and personnel who are adequately trained to fulfill the needs and responsibilities allocated to
them. The procedure has available, a man by man plan, general instructions, references, basic
equipment lists, and telephone numbers to be referred to in a short time for all type of extreme
events that could happen on onshore drilling & work-over rigs.

It is designed to demonstrate once the type of emergency (blow-out, H2S, Fire) has been
identified, D&WOD will be able to mobilize on the rig site and in the D&WOD Office Bldg. at
3193 Dhahran and drilling at Udhaliyah. All required human resources, equipment and materials
for an immediate response to the disaster will be mobilized under the control of the Drilling
Management Team and manpower, both on site and off described in this document.

THE PROCEDURE (drill or event)

This procedure is for onshore drilling activities and is applicable for any drill or emergency
arising in drilling and work-over operations. It is designed to provide all personnel on the rig site
location a clear direction of duty during a disaster or drilling for a disaster.
 APPLICATION

Based on the scenario or actual event information, follow the man by man box plan laid out in
this disaster drill plan as well as standby equipment preparation, and definitions of position
responsibilities and decision making. Follow all emergency drill procedures and equipment
requirements laid out.

NOTE:

The following emergency procedures are be used as a guide. Each incident shall be considered
on its own merit, as it is not possible to anticipate the actions that will have to be taken in every
emergency.

It has been decided therefore to provide a guide for the initial steps of the emergency operation,
allowing the person in-charge on the rig site, independence of action.

DEFINITIONS

DEFINITION OF AN EMERGENCY An emergency is an unforeseeable and undesired

event that may develop into a serious incident. Moreover, an emergency needs to be addressed
by means of pre-prepared and specific plans and with competent, trained personnel. An
emergency is an occurrence that exposes human life, environment, the rig and relevant
equipment to an extreme risk.

Disaster Control Center: The DCC is the drilling control and command center for any disaster
related to drilling. It is located at the drilling building, bldg 3193 room 200 in Dhahran and is
manned by the superintendent responsible for the rig with the problem with a staff of 3 telephone
operators acquired from the clerks working on the drilling floor in bldg. 3193.

Udhaliyah Disaster Control Center: The UDCC is located in UDHALIYAH east admin. bldg.
in room 3535.

Safe Briefing Area: A safe briefing area is an area that is determined to be in a safe area for the
gathering of all personnel on location when an emergency exists. SBA's are designed to be at the
road approaches from opposite directions on the drill site and a predetermined safe distance from
the well. They are designed to be seen from each other in the case of confusion when an alarm is
sounded. Each briefing area is to be equipped with the required safety and emergency response
equipment.
 Rig Site Emergency Response: The immediate action of a Saudi Aramco rig site
management and personnel to take charge of an emergency situation with his on site man
power and the resources at hand. The capability of reacting in an effective controlled
manner during an emergency on a rig site to bring events back to a normal working
environment. The capacity to establish all logistical and (external to the rig), emergency
response teams required to bring the emergency event under control and back to a
normal working environment.

Rig Site Emergency Procedures: Procedures to initiate an immediate response with the
support of rig on site and external emergency, operational, logistical support where
needed. (Ref. G.I. 1850.001)

Telephone No.: Telephone numbers relevant to Saudi Aramco on rig site personnel,
different Saudi Aramco personnel to be notified and contacted in case of an emergency
or drill.

Rig Site Man-by-Man Plan: A plan to provide an individual proven distinct, clear,
unified direction for each members of the rig site team to follow as a guide. This is in the
form of a box chart. (Ref. 5.0. & 6.9.1).

Notification Flow Chart: Chart to provide management with a clear direction of

command and responsibility for on shore drills and emergencies. (Disaster drill
notification flow chart).

The On Site Commander: The OSC is the foreman or his delegate in charge of the on
site activities during a drill or actual event. The OSC will establish an Incident
Command Post (ICP). The ICP will be the primary Safe Briefing Area unless otherwise
detailed by the incident on site commander. He shell also establish a secondary
command post or SCP (usually the camp) with communications established between
them. The backup secondary command post will be manned by personnel delegated by
the Site leader (foreman)

Incident Command Post: The ICP is the on site established area for staging and
command activities during a drill or actual emergency event. It is usually the up wind
safe briefing area.

The Secondary Command Post: The SCP is a safe area away from the rig usually the
camp that can be used as the ICP if the situation on the rig site requires total
abandonment. The SCP is also used as a rear staging area for medical, feeding
personnel, sleeping accommodation, and any other logistical consideration that is
required by the on site commander. Communications are established ASAP at the onset
of a drill or disaster event.

Purpose of a MAN BY MAN PLAN is to ensure that each person on rig site knows all of his actions
from his position to be taken in case of an emergency. Emergency Response MAN BY MAN Plans
are posted at strategic locations on rig site. This plan of action is to be used as a training tool for all
personnel involved in the plan in the form of a rig drill. In the event of an emergency, it will act as a
guide to establish a clear rout to control personnel in an unforeseen emergency event on a well site.

Everyone must read the MAN BY MAN PLAN and Procedures carefully and fully understand his
specified role in the procedures. He must practice his part in the training exercise or drill.

Everyone visiting the rig for the first time shall attend a safety induction including a safety tour,
