1.Introduction

This manual proceeds from the provisions of the Aban Offshore Ltd. QHSE management system; it is complementary to the Aban rig’s QHSE Plan.

We hereby below position the Emergency Response Plan into the Aban Offshore Ltd. QHSE Management system documentation:

1. Annual QHSE Plan

2. Emergency Response Plan

3. Oil Spill Contingency Plan

4. HSE Case (if Any)

The emergency procedures described herein apply whenever an emergency occurs in the operational environment. For the purpose of these procedures, an emergency is defined as the occurrence of a serious incident or situation which is beyond the resources of the relevant operating unit alone to handle or control, and thus requires the immediate assistance of others.

The over all objectives of the Emergency response strategy are as follows:

· Protect employees, contractor, other personnel associated with Aban Offshore Limited’s services from injury.

· Mitigate effects of the incident from possible escalation of injury, property damage or environment.

· Achieve compliance to emergency response and management to Industry standards

Time is usually a critical factor, and it is vital that reaction to an emergency is both rapid and effective.

Emergency Response –Part I: this section details the classification of emergencies and the various responses to an emergency by the emergency teams and activation flows in Aban. It also includes various offshore and onshore emergency team constitutions and channels of communication.

Emergency Response – Part II: this section includes guidelines and checklists for each specific type of emergency, the procedures to be followed after the initial emergency alert and response has been made.

Emergency Response – Part III: this section deals with guidelines and responses for severe weather conditions as anticipated for various locations.

Emergency Response – Part IV: this section contains guidelines for Oil Spill response and the procedures associated therein.

Duty personnel in particular must be fully familiar with the emergency procedures. Should an emergency occur, the operation will immediately be relying on the prompt and efficient reaction of those personnel. Their responsibilities are therefore significant, and must be appreciated.

This manual will be updated whenever various lessons are learnt as well as when material will be updated, procedural changes, name and service contractor will change.

The process of revision and improvement will continue. Any suggestions or recommendations are welcome, and should be directed to the QHSE Manager.

2. emergency response – Part I

2.1EMERGENCY RESPONSE ORGANISATIONS AND COMMUNICATION

Initial incident response to any emergency shall be managed by Rig. TP normally takes role of Incident Controller for emergencies occurring on the offshore installation. TP’s office or Barge control room is normally designated as Emergency Control Room (ECR), alternately it may be shifted to Temporary refuge (TR) in case of major emergency affecting the ECR.

The overall level of response to emergencies will depend on the nature and scale of emergency. Incidents are classified into Level-1 Incident, Level-2 Incident and Level-3 Incident. See Table-1 for Emergency Classification.

Aban’s Emergency Response management includes Regional Emergency Response Team at respective regional offices and Crisis Management Team (CMT) based in Chennai, India. (Refer to Flow Table-3 Emergency activation Flow)

BETWEEN ONSHORE EMERGENCY RESPONSE ORGANISATIONS ONSHORE RESPONSE PRINCIPLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

I. ABAN

Aban, as installation owners and Duty Holders, will assume responsibility for overall primacy or response for all Rig emergencies, with the exception of purely pollution related incidents or interference by third party organizations. This responsibility includes the following areas:

· Onshore support to the offshore location, including notifications to and liaison with INDIAN COASTGUARD, Police, and other statutory authorities.

· Mobilization of topside medical support.

· Providing support to Aban and directly contracted personnel and dealing with related relative's interest. This will not detract from the responsibilities placed on ONGC as concession owners to liaise with other bodies as necessary.

Note: In the event of a fatality, next of kin and immediate relatives will be informed by representatives of the company, or the local police at the NOK location.

· Responding to media enquiries after consultation with ONGC

II. ONGC

· As well operator, ONGC, the Onshore Drilling Duty Person will supply technical support with regard to well control and down hole issues. The Drilling Duty Person will be located at Aban's Response Centre (RERT).

· Logistic response in respect of the sourcing and mobilization of additional helicopters, vessels, materials and equipment required to respond to the emergency. This task will be undertaken by the ONGC Logistics Coordinator, who will be advised by Aban's RER Team.

· Providing support to ONGC's own personnel and ONGC's contracted personnel and dealing with related relative's interest.

Note: In the event of a fatality, next of kin and immediate relatives will be informed by representatives of the company, or the local Police at the NOK location.

III. CONTRACTED THIRD PARTY COMPANIES

PROVIDING SUPPORT TO ABAN AND DIRECTLY CONTRACTED PERSONNEL AND DEALING WITH RELATED RELATIVE'S INTEREST, THIS WILL NOT DETRACT FROM THE RESPONSIBLITIES PLACED ON ONGC AS CONCESSION OWNERS TO LIASE WITH OTHER BODIES AS NECESSARY.

Note: In the event of a fatality, next of kin and immediate relatives will be informed by representatives of the company, and the local Police at the NOK location

Media Response:

In the event of an incident on or about the Rig, Aban Emergency Response Centre will be the focal point for all communications from the media. A proforma press release statement has been jointly approved by Aban and ONGC as attached in Annexure VII. This statement will be released within one hour of the incident.

Any further press statements will be subject to joint approval of the Aban and ONGC Managements. All press statements will be coordinated by the Aban Emergency Response Team and ONGC Emergency Response Centre.

Relatives Response:

Aban Personnel Coordinator will respond to all queries from relatives of all personnel onboard the rig as required by the Aban Emergency Response Manual. ONGC will similarly deal with any relative enquiries as one of the functions of their Emergency Management Centre.

POB Lists:

In the event of an emergency, the latest POB listing will be transmitted to Aban Base. This will be accomplished either by electronic mail, facsimile or by courier. This list will be made available to the Aban RERT and should be used with the Aban daily POB.

Logistics Support:

Additional Logistics support in the form of helicopters, shipping etc will be provided by the ONGC Duty Logistics Coordinator.

Coastguard

Coastguard will be informed of all incidents involving maritime installations and vessels. In the event of personnel entering the water either by accident or during an incident, INDIAN COASTGUARD will assume primacy for coordinating rescue and recovery. Incidents involving vessels or installations in distress that may lead to danger of personnel at sea, INDIAN COASTGUARD will assume primacy.

Police

In the event of a fatality on board an installation in the 500m zone or on a vessel associated with the installation, the Police will assume responsibility for the body and next of kin.

The Tool Pusher and his staff will have full authority to act as on scene commander in the above emergencies. The Tool Pusher will be responsible for assessing the incident and the appropriate level of communication and support required. Where appropriate the Tool Pusher will request the support of ONGC Representative on board, onshore teams and emergency services as detailed in the accompanying flowcharts.

During general offshore emergencies, all information will be conveyed to nearby installations and the attending standby vessel in accordance with the Emergency Response Procedure, as well as the requirements of the Aban Bridging Document. Emergency details or other information will only be released by Aban on approval from ONGC's Emergency Core Team.

The onshore response teams shall provide back up support, media and relative response for the duration of the incident.

4.0EMERGENCY EVENTS

Primacy for emergency events has been agreed as follows:

1. Rig Emergency Situation

The Duty Holder will assume primacy under all situations directly affecting the rig or within its 500m zone.

la. Emergency Situations occurring on boats out side the 500m Safety zone the respective boat company's emergency response will assume primacy with support from ONGC.

2. Oil Spill at / near Rig not connected to other events

The exploration licence holder (ONGC as appropriate) will assume primacy under such events. The Tool Pusher will inform and advise of on scene information that will be used to determine the appropriate oil spill contingency plan to be activated. Thereafter, assuming there is no threat to the safety of the rig the incident will be coordinated from the licence holder's onshore emergency response facility.

2a. Vessel out side the 500m Safety zone will use their own SOPEP Plans.

3. Emergency Medivac

In the event one or more individual(s) need to be evacuated from the Rig then this will be coordinated and controlled by the Tool Pusher and the Rig Medic, with the support of the client Representative as required. The Tool Pusher / Medic will make the necessary arrangements to ensure the casualty will be met and transported to the most appropriate medical facility.

3a. Subcontractors will make their own arrangements to take over third party personnel from the helibase.

4. COLLISION MANAGEMENT

The standby vessel uses radar, navigational aids and visual means in the detection and continual observation of marine traffic within a specified radius of the Rig. The standby vessel will act in the role of guard ship and challenge any vessel likely to breach a rig's Safety Zone.

Marine emergencies (e.g. collision, fire, loss of power/steering) within the 12 nautical mile surveillance area will be immediately reported to the Tool Pusher who will determine any necessary emergency actions required to mitigate potential risks.

As instructed by the Tool Pusher, the standby vessel will patrol the Safety Zone around the installations advising the Tool Pusher of vessels that are likely to infringe the zone and reporting those that actually do.

All vessels entering, leaving and moving within the Safety Zone of the Rig will be monitored by the standby vessel. Maximum use shall be made of radar, navigational aids and visual means in the detection and continual observation of vessels within 5 nautical miles of an installation.

5. ANTI-POLLUTION SERVICES

The standby vessel will monitor the location for evidence of any infringement of marine pollution regulations, including the dumping or accidental spillage of oil, pollutants or garbage. Such infringements, and the likely source, will be immediately reported to the Tool Pusher. Pollution response activities will be directed by the Tool Pusher and the use of oil spill dispersants will only be undertaken on express instructions from the Tool Pusher in consultation with ONGC Oil Spill Plan.

· Monitor the task or people. Continuous monitoring of the task or job will help achieve changes in the management leading to effective hazard assessment and control of the same. It also build up the observation skills of personnel ;

· Act in such a manner as to reinforce observed safe behavior. If a person is working in an unsafe manner, then correct the behaviour. If someone says nothing, they are condoning the unsafe behavior;

· Reinforce safe behavior; remember when giving feedback – be specific;

· Track results by using SMART observation cards.

All personnel are introduced to the SMART process. The SMART process is actively led by all supervisors and supported by all personnel. Supervisors have the responsibility to train all personnel to work safely. Supervisors review all SMART observation cards. SMART is a team effort to recognize and reinforce safe behaviour and correct unsafe behaviour. It is intended to improve individual's observation skills and to encourage an actively caring culture in an effort to achieve the following goals:

· prevent harm to people, environment or property;

· increase everyone's safety awareness;

· involve the whole organization;

· focus heavily on the people;

· identify behaviors, conditions or processes that can be improved by people's active participation in SMART.
