2 C O M B I N E D L A N D A N D M A R I N E S E I S M I C O P E R A T I O N S M A N A G E M E N T C O U R S E ( W I T H T E C H N I C A L B A C K G R O U N D ) Course Overview This course will provide the managment detail and some geophysical & technical detail regarding the prerequisites for Managing Seismic Operations in a broad sense. This starts with the basics of the planning process and includes detail specific to Marine, Transition Zone (TZ) and Land surveys. Relevant industry case studies and success (and failure) stories will be reviewed throughout the course. The participants will gain an understanding of the principles and best practices surrounding the planning and management of seismic operations. Who Should Attend The 5 Day Management course is somewhere between intermediate and advanced level and will be best attended by a rather more senior person. This could be up to Team Leader (or beyond). The delegates should already have seen project management take place. Attendees ideally should have a geophysics, maths or electrical engineering degree or similar but the limited seismic technical content can be understood by most with an earth sciences background.

3 DAY ONE DAY 1 - PRE PLANNING THE BASICS FIRST 1. Project management principles 2. Objectives. Now is the time to get these stated explicitly. 3. The team Exploration manager Project manager HSSE Manager (overall extra HSSE for land transport / marine ops / aviation etc) Delivery of geophysics (interpreter / processor) Surveyor (GPS benchmark) Land / TZ extra support likely Supply Chain Management EXERCISES State the planning team for a Land surveys, with Aviation support required HINT state who amongst these are pe a e t a d ho a e ad-ho Module Content Participants learn about what is needed to start the seismic survey planning process and how to go about it. The need for the multi-disciplinary team is explained and this sets the scene for the rest of the course. EARLY KNOWLEDGE 1. Reconnaissance trip (necessary or not? - nb TZ / Land only) 2. Existing knowledge of area sufficient? Test this 3. Government permits. What is required. 4. permit restrictions 5. Military (for Land / TZ operations mainly, is se u ity e ui ed?) 6. Farming, seasonal matters, Sites of Scientific Interest, breeding seasons etc. 7. Marine factors Marine Mammals, Fishing, Exclusion Zones, Shipping Lanes 8. Import / export regulations use of operator licences by contractor 9. Local content EXERCISES When might you need a field reconnaissance trip and why? If Security is required, how will you deal with this during planning? Module Content This module describes the requirement for early knowledge and its impact on the on-going planning process. It applies to all types of survey and introduces the fact that often more detailed factors require a higher degree of attention on TZ and land surveys. Specific and critical items begin to be introduced.

4 DAY TWO HSSE INFLUENCE ON PLANNING 1. Environmental restrictions Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) required? Marine Mammal restrictions? MMOs / PAM etc? Fishing? Restricted Zones, Shipping Lanes, Oilfield Structures etc 2. HSSE COMPLIANCE Corporate requirements? OGP? IAGC? 11 Whose statistics standards to be used? OSHA? Risk analysis and assessment Risk Mitigation Vessel audits Picket vessels Whe does the HSSE lo k sta t ti ki g? AUDITS (Marine) 1. One of the main Audits for marine vessels is the International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) Audit 2. Head office Audit of Contractor is required unless done in a stated time frame (2 years?). 3. Include all Picket / Support vessels in the Audit process. 4. HSSE Audit carried out as sea after start of survey EXERCISE What qualifies an individual to be an IMCA Auditor? HSSE INFLUENCE ON LAND AND TRANSITION ZONE SURVEY PLANNING 1. Transport Audits 2. Sub-contractor audits 3. Safety training regulations 4. Safety training 5. Safety drills 6. Safety Certification 7. Emergency procedures and evacuations 8. OGP regulations for casualty transfer 9. Aviation Fixed Wing / Helicopter audits & ongoing safety 10. TZ Seasonal restrictions, some marine factors as above. 11. Medical Requirements 12. Remote Area Land / TZ Surveys Health & Trauma Support 13. Waste Management 14. Remote Area Communications AUDITS (Land & TZ) 1. Contractor Head Office Audit 2. Visit to existing crews for HSSE Audit? 3. Land & TZ Staged mobilisation permissions? 4. Sub-contractor audits 5. Audit operation after start-up EXERCISES Having considered the above, what documents will you acquire for your HSSE library and make detailed reference-to in the tender document? Early audit for a Land operation shows that local transport contractors are very much below an acceptable HSSE standard. How would you plan to fix this? Module Content This module points out the needs of HSSE planning for marine, land and transition zone surveys but some of the material regarding HSSE compliance is generic. The specific audit processes for these are introduced.

5 DAY THREE DAY 3 MAIN PLANNING 1. Contractor(s) already in-country / area? 2. Can approach Contractors or is secrecy in force? 3. PSCM involvement Way process - What Contractors are aware of they can start to plan 5. Do t e s a ed to utilise Co t a to experience. 6. Survey Timing consider all the influences on this 7. GENERATE THE TIMELINE FROM NOW TO FI T HOT!! ADVANCED SURVEY DESIGN & PLANNING (Marine Emphasis) 1. Parameter choices and vessel availability 2. Seasonal weather / long term vessel availability 3. For Multi Azimuth marine seismic, Simultaneous Source techniques? 4. Contractor carried out similar and successful work? 5. Environmental issues marine mammals / fishing / breeding seasons? Weather Under shooting (platforms / rigs / FPSOs etc) 6. Geology. Influence on survey design 7. Basic geophysics source and receiver requirements 8. 3D - for marine wide bandwidth methods? 9. Marine single azimuth or wider azimuth approach? 10. EM, Magnetic and Gravity? 11. Survey design Illumination of target for complex structures (general) Streamer noise Environment / Weather / seasons & monsoons Tides River outlets 12. 4D considerations. EXERCISE What might you do during the planning phase to reduce uncertainty regarding source illumination and generation of CMP coverage in a complex structural area? Module Content. This module describes the processes of advanced survey planning for marine seismic surveys although some of the material is generic and relates to all types of seismic surveys.

6 DAY FOUR DAY 4. ADVANCED LAND / TRANSITION ZONE SURVEY DESIGN & PLANNING 1. Choice of technique may influence contractor choice 2. 2D if possi le al ays use Stackarray 3. 3D survey design huge influences on data quality, costs, HSSE impact. 4. Node technology -certainly for Land / TZ, maybe for Marine too. 5. If you are planning to use EXPLOSIVES you will need to consider:- 6. Government Rules and Regulations. 7. Must use locally made explosives or can import? 8. If locally made are they safe and suitable? 9. This applies particularly to seismic detonators. 10. Magazine design and security. 11. Security considerations regarding acceptable personnel to work as shooters. 12. Ofte the e eeds to e a lo al i ol e e t / so ialisatio a paig PR!! EXERCISE. The authorities often look more favourably at certain categories of personnel to be given clearance to work as seismic shooters. Who do you think these personnel might have done in a previous employment? Module Content. This module describes the processes of advanced survey planning for Land and Transition Zone seismic surveys. The problems associated with the use of explosives are introduced.

7 DAY FIVE TENDERING AND CONTRACT AWARD 1. Pre-tender contractor presentations 2.
