1PURPOSE OF THE SIMOPS
1.1Main purpose
The main purpose of the Simultaneous Operation Safety Rules and Procedures is to provide all personnel involved with simultaneous operations on TOTAL /South Pars phase 2 and 3 with a knowledge of the relevant safe practices and procedures.
Additionally, this Section is used to predetermine the compatibility, interference and limitations during the planning and operational stages of Simultaneous operations.
It takes into account the specific design of the South Pars Phases 2 & 3 Installations and the TSP Organization.
The present version addresses the specific situation of phased hand over to Production up to first gas export
The activities concerned by this document are:
-Construction activities (Lifting, Cold work /Hot works, etc.)
-Commissioning Activities.
-Operation of the utility system by ODC ( Operation during Commissioning ) Team conducted in geographical areas under construction authority and prior to hand over to Production.
-Production activities after partial hand over to production.
It is possible to forecast the equipment lay out , the number of personnel
Involved and the safety status of a given area for determining Construction or
Commissioning operations during routine production.
This will optimize safety clearance , prevent obstructions / interference and
minimize constraints. This is one of the objectives of the SIMOPS
procedures.
This document has addressed as many situations as possible. However,
should the need arise, specific operations will have to be reviewed on a
case by case basis.
1.2Detailed objectives
This Section called “ Simultaneous Operation Safety Rules and Procedures “ are referred to, in short, as SIMOPS.
The objectives of the SIMOPS are to:
-Highlight potential restrictions when forecasting and planning additional activities due to take place at the same time and location where long-term activities are performed.(for the purpose of this document, SIMOPS starts with the start-up of the first utilities i.e. electricity supply.)
-Ensure any activity or operation affecting an area, where another activity may be on going simultaneously, is reviewed and analyzed for potential interference or limitation.
-Establish a mechanism for review of proposed activities (e.g. meeting and identifying department participation).
-Establish matrix to authorize simultaneous activities.
-Ensure simultaneous activities are controlled and performed in a safe manner by :
- Defining responsibilities of personnel involved
- Requiring the appointment of a SOL (Simultaneous Operation Leader) to coordinate activities within different organizations.
- Stating preventive measures to be implemented prior to starting simultaneous activities
- Limiting the number of simultaneous activities and / or the area affected
- Avoiding interference during operations
- Providing communication channels and procedures.
- Training of all personnel including communication of step
changes.
-Minimize the potential for personnel injury and equipment damage by
- Controlling and restricting personnel access to areas of simultaneous activities
- Providing specific instruction for securing operations and mustering personnel in case of emergency
- Ensuring all personnel involved are aware of the specifics of simultaneous operations and of the procedures.
- Identifying hazards and evaluating the consequences of failures, to update matrix of allowed simultaneous activities.

3.2SIMULTANEOUS OPERATIONS FORECAST
Construction , Commissioning, Utility systems running and Production Operations with potential interference between them should be forecasted to minimize any interference.
Information relevant to simultaneous activities with a possible / potential impact to the other team should be given for every planned operation as well as for contingency and emergency situation.
Simultaneous operations which are not authorized within this procedure, or simultaneous operations for which special precautions may be required shall be subject to a ”what if” or risk evaluation.
Urgent decisions regarding SIMOPS are the responsibility of the Site Manager
4RESPONSIBILITIES
4.1T.S.P. SITE MANAGER
The Site Manager is responsible for the Safety, Health and Welfare of all personnel working on the site. All supervisors working on the project assist the Site Manager.
The TSP Site Manager’s responsibility for safety and coordination will be handed over to the Production Assistant at train one hand over (step 9).
Up to step 4 The Site Manager takes responsibility as Simultaneous Operations Leader.
4.2SIMULTANEOUS OPERATIONS LEADER
The Simultaneous Operations Leader (S.O.L) is responsible for proper coordination and safe simultaneous interfaces as well as identification and resolution of possible impact on other operations. He receives delegation for these responsibilities from the Site Manager.
He liaises with all supervisors (Production, Construction, Commissioning, Maintenance, Safety, etc) and area /installation authorities.
He ensures that the operational team duly enforce SIMOPS procedures. However both Construction and Production teams remain responsible for the safe management of their own operations.
.
The S.O.L. acts under guidance and control of the TSP Site Manager additionally he will report and liaise with Project and Production as required.
It is the responsibility of the SOL to follow up the completion of listed activities and to report to the Site Manager any trend or omission which could potentially jeopardize the planning forecast.
In the event of a disagreement regarding the safety of a proposed simultaneous operation or the continuation of an activity in progress, the matter should be decided by the SOL and referred to the Site Manager for approval ( if deemed necessary )
4.3AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITIES
Four types of operational zones are defined on South Pars Phase 2 and 3 installations.
CONSTRUCTION AREAS
Under the responsibility of the Site Manager
COMMISSIONING AREAS
Under the responsibility of the Site Manager
UTILITY AREAS
Operated by ODC ( Operation during Commissioning ) under the responsibility of the Site Manager
PRODUCTION AREAS
Under the responsibility of the Operations Assistant
4.4INSTALLATION AUTHORITY
One nominated person is in charge of each operational zone:
CONSTRUCTION AREAS
The HDEC Area Authority is the Installation Authority
COMMISSIONING AREAS
The Commissioning Manager is the Installation Authority
UTILITY AREAS ( OPERATION DURING COMMISSIONING )
Prior to hand over ‘The Operation during Commissioning’ team operate and maintain utilities.
The Commissioning Manager is the Installation Authority.
However during phases where production operations are in hand, clear definition of interfaces should be set up and responsibilities shared for any activity having a potential impact on production, i.e. PCS, ESD, F&G, power sources and distribution, etc.
PRODUCTION AREAS
The Process and Utility Superintendents are the Installation Authorities on the areas handed over to Production.
4.5RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE INSTALLATION AUTHORITY
In addition to the duties defined by the Permit to Work system (TSP PTW) the nominated Installation Authority is responsible for
Ensuring planned operations have:
- Been properly evaluated as to their implications and potential consequences
- Been forecasted correctly in terms of time and duration.
Ensuring Area Operators are fully aware of the SIMOPS as well as the implication and consequences of each of their operations in regard to the proximity of other teams personnel and equipment.
Ensuring operations are performed within forecast. In case of delays, the area Authority should evaluate consequences of the delay then notify the Site Rep., SOL, and other interested parties as required.
Ensuring that only essential personnel are authorized to enter areas affected by SIMOPS operations.
Ensuring that involved personnel are aware of alarms and evacuation procedures.
5SUPERVISION
Safety of SIMOPS operations is dependent to a great degree on the general communication, coordination and cooperation between the Supervisors and Authorities involved.
Accurate evaluation and control of the operational parameters are of prime importance for SIMOPS operations, safety and efficiency.
For this purpose commissioning will maintain two sets of permanently up-dated and marked-up copies of electrical online diagrams identifying energized circuits and P IDs identifying pressurized equipment ,location of isolations (spades, spools, valves, etc…) One copy for their own use theother copy for the SOL.
In this respect, and in addition to the usual job preparation, supervisors should:
- Ascertain their operation has been duly planned and that the Site Manager. / SOL, Area Authority and other involved supervisors have been informed of the timing and about any potential constraint and interference.
- Confirm evaluation of starting time and duration.
- Confirm evaluation of potential constraints and interference.
- Check that operation and emergency procedures comply with SIMOPS context and to the current running / planned activities.
- Ensure both, equipment and personnel, are available and comply with SIMOPS.
During the operation, direct control should be maintained by:
- Continuous supervision and monitoring
- Clear instruction, constantly updated according to progress and events.
- Enhanced checking and testing.
- Good communication and detailed instructions eg Tool Box Talks
6OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT AND ORGANISATION
Planning highlights concurrent activities performed by different sections. A general agreement on work organization and schedule is reached to minimize disruption and promote communication between all parties.
6.1OPERATIONS PLANNING
Construction , Commissioning and Production Departments issue planning forecasts which are reviewed by respective management to identify Simultaneous Operations.
When SIMOPS are identified Managers will advise all affected parties and when required Construction / Commissioning planning will be updated to incorporate SIMOPS .
Acceptance of planned operations , additional requirements and constraints will be approved by management and supervision.
The operation program should give all relevant information relating to simultaneous operations including constraints, limitations, areas of conflict and include or refer to applicable emergency procedures.
The SOL will inform all parties involved, obtain acceptance for the operation plan and any identified constraints. When conflicting operations are identified he will liaise with Project and /or Production who will decide which takes priority.
6.2OPERATION PREPARATION
Prior to commencing SIMOPS the Site Manager / SOL will meet with all involved parties to verify all aspects of the operation , confirm emergency procedures, identify constraints, limitations and conflicting activities.
Once the planning of the operation is confirmed and the detailed program and/or procedures approved, equipment and personnel are mobilized.
