0. Introduction to the HRA report

The Health Risk Assessment (HRA) report is created from oneHealthIT

, the global system used by Shell

Health to process and store health related information.

The report starts with a description of the scope of the HRA and the persons involved in sections 1 and 2.

The remedial actions from the HRA are presented in report section 3, and are sorted by priority. Section 4

provides information from the detailed appraisals. The focus here is on High and Medium RAM rated risks.

Section 5 provides an overview of generally applicable controls and recovery measures. Section 6 lists the

status of the Low RAM rated risks that were reviewed during the HRA. The report concludes with definitions

and a diagram of the RAM risk matrix in appendices 1 and 2. Appendix 3 contains an overview of the

detailed risk appraisals and their page numbers.

Blank cells in tables in the report indicate fields that are available for containing information, but are currently

not populated in oneHealthIT

.

1. HRA Scope

This is the Yibal Khuff (YK) Project FEED HRA. This HRA does not cover the construction activities for the

facility. The purpose of the HRA is to identify high level potential health hazards associated with the YK project and the controls necessary to manage health risks to ALARP once the project is in operational phase. During FEED, there is an opportunity to assess the effectiveness of engineering controls in the

design, that when implemented, can reduce personal exposures to ALARP through the application of the hierarchy of controls. This report also identified areas that need to be re -assessed and these items are captured as remedial action.

An HRA workshop was held in PDO FEED offices on the 16th and 23rd May 2013. With the input from the attendees of this workshop, a high level health risk was prepared (attached to this HRA) which was used to

prepare this HRA.

The Yibal Khuff Sudair integrated project provides the opportunity to safely develop the Yibal Khuff/Sudair reservoirs to realize synergy between the depletion of the Upper Khuff oil rim and its AG, and Khuff-5 and Sudair NAG reservoirs. This development will add directly to PDO’s future oil production potential through

the development of an oil rim with STOIIP of 127 mln m3, and through oil benefits that may be realised from utilising the majority of the produced gas for power generation and EOR developments. The project is strategic in nature, as the sweet export gas from gas -in-place volumes totalling ~78 bln Sm3 will go to

supporting Oman’s mid to long term gas supply requirements. The major objectives of the YK Project are as follows:-

a. Production of sour oil & gas from the Upper Khuff Associated Gas (AG) reservoir and gas & condensate from the Lower Khuff and Sudair Non Associated Gas (NAG) reservoirs by means of an optimised integrated

depletion strategy. b. Export of sweet gas to the Government Gas System to support Oman’s mid to long term gas demand and PDO’s internal need for EOR projects and power generation.

c. Production of stabilised oil which is exported to the Main Oil Line (MOL) at Yibal A. d. Produced water treatment and disposal by routing to the water injection and disposal system at Yibal A.

The facility will consist of on- and off plot facilities. a. A description of the on-plot facilities are as follows:

A new CPF location to the southwest of the Yibal field area.

Appendix 1: Definitions

Acute Health Effect Health Effect that occurs immediately or a short time (seconds to hours) following exposure, such as heat stroke, chemical burns and asphyxiation.

Agent See Hazard

ALARP - As Low As Reasonably Practicable The point at which the cost (in time, money and effort) of further Risk reduction is grossly disproportionate to

the Risk reduction achieved. Barrier

A Risk Control or a Recovery Measure. Barriers provide the means of preventing an Event or Incident, or of mitigating the Consequences. A Barrier can be an item of equipment or a human intervention, and can also be a Control on an Escalation Factor.

Chronic Health Effect Health Effect that occurs gradually over a long period of time (months or years), generally following repeated

and prolonged exposure. In specific cases a short term exposure may result in a chronic health effect. Consequence

An Effect on people, assets, the environment or reputation as a result of a Hazard being released. Control

A means of preventing an Incident. Controls can be engineering, procedural or behavioural. Critical Activity

An activity necessary for the development, implementation or maintenance of a Barrier established for managing Hazards with RAM red Risks.

Effect The Consequence of the release of a Hazard.

Escalation Factor A situation, condition or circumstance that may lead to the partial or full failure of a Barrier. Event

An Incident that occurs when a Hazard is released. Exposure Limit

The airborne concentration of chemical agents and levels of physical agents to which nearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed day after day without adverse Effect.

Exposure Rating The chance of over-exposure to a health hazard when compared against agreed control standards. The exposure rating is evaluated as Very Low, Low, Medium or High.

Hazard An agent with the potential to cause harm to people, damage to Assets, or an Impact on the environment or

reputation. Health Hazard

A factor of a physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic or psychological nature with the potential to cause harm to the health of people.

HRA - Health Risk Assessment A process of identifying, evaluating, controlling and managing Health Risks, associated with work to prevent

acute and chronic health Effects. Incident

An unplanned Event or chain of Events that has, or could have, resulted in injury or illness or damage to Assets, the environment or reputation.

Likelihood The probability that a specified Consequence will happen.

OEL – Occupational Exposure Limit The airborne concentration of chemical agents and levels of physical agents to which nearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed day after day without adverse effect.

RAM - Risk Assessment Matrix A tool used to assess the Consequences and Risks of Hazards to HSSE. The results are referred to as a

RAM Severity rating and a RAM Risk rating. Recovery Measure

A Barrier that reduces the Consequences of the release of a Hazard as a result of an Incident. Recovery Measures can be engineering, procedural or behavioural measures.

Remedial Action Plan RAP - A Plan to implement corrective action items.

Risk The combination of the Consequence of a specific Hazard being released and the Likelihood of it happening.

Risk Assessment The process of identifying the Consequences of the Worst Case Credible Scenario arising from the release of a Hazard, and estimating the Likelihood of that scenario.

Severity A level of Consequence on the RAM on a scale of 0 to 5.
