In line with TOTAL’S commitment for Respecting Laws and Regulations, TOTAL E&P INDONESIE (TEPI or the so-called COMPANY) management decided to implement a system to manage Permit and improvement to existing condition of Regulatory Compliance. The system is called Permit Management System and Regulation Compliance (PMS RC). The system is designed to ensure regulatory compliance and on time awarding of Permit required for the affiliate operations, in accordance with local and national Regulations. PMS RC provides Regulation and Permit data base complete with its compliance status, accessible to authorized users in a friendly manner. This paper is made to describe the background and benefit as well as the mechanism on how the COMPANY runs PMS RC. PMS RC is a complete management system which more than just a database in the computer, is a series of compliance processes such as Applicability Review, Compliance Assessment, Risk Assessment and Task Management. PMS RC's final goal is to ensure the sustainability of the compliance with respect to the applicable law, Regulations and Permit requirement within COMPANY. It minimizes the risk of operation disturbance by assuring Permit granted on time, compliance with the Regulation's requirement and preventing violation of the law and Regulations that leads to an incident. The implementation of PMS RC safeguards the proper application of the relevant Regulation in COMPANY's operations. As a consequence it reduces the risks of incompliance and possible operational, financial, and legal consequences. This system is a guideline for Line Management and related entities to review and evaluate the applicable and updated Regulation and Permit compliance status regularly. The implementation of this procedure also helps in reducing incompliance status by implementing corrective actions with risk-based priority to the entity which is not yet in compliance. This Project was triggered by: First, the difficulties faced when running a very complex set of facilities, for which it is critical to ensure compliance with numerous applicable Regulations and also, these Regulations require hundreds of Permits that have to be delivered on time. The second trigger is from the HSE Management System which rightly insists on having a robust system by respecting Laws and Regulations. The third trigger is intensive law enforcement by authorizing body in particularly from Environmental Ministry, Forestry, Oil & Gas Authorities and more over by Local Government where the operational fields are located. During the establishment of the system, joint project was formed with representatives from various entities, such as Health Safety and Environment (HSE), Information System and Telecom (IST), Marine and Logistic Operation (MLO) and Legal (LEG). The final goal of the PMS RC system is having zero disturbances to operations and legal safeguard by ensuring that the Regulations are complied and all Permits are available in due time.
TOTAL E&P Indonésie (TEPI) is the biggest gas producer in Indonesia, who also produces oil. At the time this paper is written, TEPI is operating six Production Sites, two Logistic Bases, seven Drilling Rigs, hundreds of Floating Vessels and thousands of Oil & Gas wells. Central Processing Area (CPA) is a site that produces oil with some free gas from 555 deltaic multilayer sand reservoirs of Handil field. The site was built 40 years ago with its peak production around 200,000 BPD of oil in 1977. Today CPA produces on average 16,000 B/D of oil and 30 MMsfcd of gas. From total 694 well strings, only about 20% of it is actively flowing; these well strings are spread over 65 clusters. Most of the oil wells are artificially lifted by pump or gas lift compressors. Facilities were added and adapted along with the needs, such as High and Low Pressure gas compressors and Gas Lift Compression unit. Several Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) projects had been tried, such as gas injection, air injection, and water injection. Currently the only artificial lift remaining is gas lift, and the EOR remain is water injection; the rests are stopped and modified. Nowadays, the main challenges of this mature field are integrity and HSE. Old design, obsolescence, modification of existing facility, and integrating with new technology generates several risks. Along with the maturity, leaks and potential leaks increase over time. The issues are corrosion, surface cracks, seepages, fugitive emission, obsolete equipment, increasing sand production, etc. Furthermore, several disused equipment also become another threat. This paper will discuss how CPA, a 40 years old Oil & Gas Production Installation, manages its Integrity and HSE. It will explain the challenges, good initiatives, and room for improvements. The topics will include Risk assessment & Identification, Inspection strategy, Integrity, Maintenance, Preservations, Work Permit implementation, Emergency exercise, etc.
Global warming is one of the hottest issues in the last decades. The 2007 assessment report compiled by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) observed that "Changes in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases and aerosols, land cover and solar radiation alter the energy balance of the climate system", and concluded that "Increases in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations is very likely to have caused most of the increases in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century". Total E&P Indonésie (TEPI) as the largest gas producer in Indonesia has a very strong commitment to demonstrate their environment stewardship. One of the ways is by providing accurate reporting of GHG releases. Currently, many developing countries do not have any specific, GHG related regulations, taxes incentives or disincentives as applied in some developed countries. In this issue, TEPI demonstrated their leadership by monitoring GHG emission as a base for further action. In addition, the reporting system that TEPI utilizes has been audited by a reputable international audit firm. This paper explores GHG data management, from data acquisition to report compilation in TEPI, as a part of environment reporting that covers the following areas: Referential / Corporate Management System. The internal rules and guidance document for the development of the TEPI GHG report.Data gathering on Production Site. Identification of related GHG Emission sources that will be described in data mapping.Roles and responsibility. Related entities that are responsible for each step of the processData Extraction and Compilation. The links between the available Production Site data, the user interface in the office, and the data compilation in automated GHG computer software.Verification and Validation. The inconsistency check that will be clarified and validated by the authorized entities.Report development. Compilation of validated data report to be provided to TEPI Management and subsequently, to Corporate Offices in France. Through this process, TEPI will be able to review Environment Key Performances Indicator (KPI) such as; Flaring Volume, GHG volume, GHG Intensity, etc. After reviewing, TEPI could decide what will be the way forward for improving the Environment Performances.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
