Prior to beginning any rig move, a Pre-Job Plan Meeting is executed. Pre-Job Planning is mandatory prior to project start-up which includes a meeting of the oil company representative, drilling rig manager, construction foreman and Mullen Field Supervisor.

Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)

• Job Safety Analysis (JSA)
• Hazard Identification (HID)
• Near Miss Reporting

Our system to analyze each job or task is a process that identifies the hazards associated with the work and is a way of eliminating hazards.  In the case where hazards cannot be eliminated then controls or corrective measures are implemented.  A Standard Operating Procedure is considered to be an appropriate control document.  Where a SOP does not exist or does not meet the requirements of a job, then a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) must be developed at the field level.

Planning Identification:

• Rig move routing identified
• Critical lifts are documented
• Roads that can be used are identified
• Road Use Agreements are in place with forestry, county or Company
• Identify and eliminate hazards
• Identify old and new lease conditions
• Extra support services or equipment required (towing, lights, permits, scales)

Action Plan:

• Decide on how to start the rig move (which loads first)
• Organize equipment
• Agree on amount of equipment needed(Beds, Pickers, Tractors, Trailers, Cranes, Personnel, etc.)
• Set start time
• Identify equipment that needs to be dismantled (derrick, sub)

Emergency Response Plan:

• Ensure emergency numbers and organizations are communicated to team members (RCMP, Ambulance, WCB, HSE Representative) At the discretion of the Field Supervisor and for the safety of all employees, a rig move may be cancelled at any time due to poor weather or lease conditions.
