MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE

4.1

GENERAL The management at Stone Energy has established Management of Change (MOC) procedures to identify and control hazards associated with change and maintain the accuracy of safety information. Stone recognizes that a facility or well is subject to continual change to increase efficiency, improve production, operability and safety, accommodate technical innovation, and implement mechanical improvements. On occasion, temporary repairs, connections, bypasses, or other modifications may be made out of operating necessity. Any of these changes can introduce new hazards or compromise the safeguards built into the original design. Care must be taken to understand the process, facility, and personnel safety and environmental implications of any changes. Although some changes may be minor with little likelihood of compromising safety or environmental protection, all changes may have the potential for disruption, injury, or business loss. From a rig operations perspective, Stone Energy shall utilize their MOC procedures when it involves changes to Company assets such as a facility or well. However, changes to contractor owned assets such as a MODU, Platform Rig or Well Service Equipment shall be governed by the MOC process of the owner. Communication of an MOC from Stone Energy to Contractor and from Contractor to Stone Energy is a requirement of Stone Energy’s Energy ’s SEMS Program.  Program. 

4.2

CHANGE IN FACILITIES

4.2.1

CHANGE CHANGE IN CONTRACTOR CONTRACTOR FACILITIES, OPERATING OPERATING PROCEDURES, PROCEDURES, OR EQUIPMENT Stone Energy will execute a Bridging Document with MODU, Platform Rig and Well Service Unit Owners that will provide details on the Contractors MOC process. Stone Energy’s Energy’s management plan requires plan requires the Contractor to be responsible for implementing their MOC process, which will include Stone Energy, when modifications, component failures, critical maintenance, bypass or changes could affect the operation and capability of the drilling or service equipment, the operating procedures of the drilling or service equipment, and the well execution plan.

Examples of critical equipment and processes the Contractor ’s ’s MOC process will involve Stone Energy are as follows; a. Well Control Equipment b. Circulation & Mud Process Equipment c. Hoisting Equipment d. Drill String & Landing String e. Station Keeping Equipment f. 4.2.2

Emergency Response Equipment & Evacuation Plans

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES CHANGES IN WELL DESIGN & EXECUTION PLAN  As noted in section 4.1, Stone Ener E nergy gy’’s MOC process will govern changes in well design and the execution plan. For Stone Energy’s Energy’s required MOC relative to well design desig n and execution plan, refer to to  Rig Operations MOC form. form.

For significant changes associated with the well execution plan that involve critical third party services, Stone Energy’ Energy’s s MOC process will govern and the facility owner (Drilling Contractor) will be included in the process. For Stone Energy’s Energy’s   required MOC relative to third party MOC plan, refer to  to Rig Operations MOC form.  form.  4.2.3

CHANGES CHANGES TO STONE ENERGY FACILITY OPERATING OPERATING PROCEDURES Changes to Stone Energy facility operating procedures will be managed through the Production Operations MOC process process as found in Production Operations Section 4 Management of Change.

4.3

CHANGES IN PERSONNEL

4.3.1

CONTRACTOR CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL Stone Energy’s Energy’s management fully recognizes contractor personnel wor king king offshore do so on a rotational basis and while offshore work in shifts. Thus there is no MOC process required for normal and routine changes in personnel due to rotation or shift. However, Stone Energy’s Energy ’s management also recognizes that key individuals can make profound contributions to the success of project in terms of safety, efficiency and morale. Thus key positions will be defined in the Bridging Document which will require an MOC and agreement by both parties for a voluntary / optional / controllable change to occur. Mandatory or uncontrollable changes in key personnel will be addressed by the Contractor and Stone Energy and a suitable replacement will be agreed upon.

4.3.2

OPERATOR PERSONNEL Stone Energy’s management fully recognizes their field personnel personnel working offshore do so on a rotational basis and while offshore work in shifts. Thus there is no MOC process required for normal and routine changes in personnel due to rotation or shift. However Stone Energy’s Energy’s management also recognizes that key individuals can make profound contributions to the success of project in terms of safety, efficiency and morale. Thus key positions will be defined in the Bridging Document which will require an MOC and agreement by both parties for a voluntary / optional / controllable change to occur. Mandatory or uncontrollable changes in key personnel will be addressed by the Contractor and Stone Energy and a suitable replacement will be agreed upon.

REVIEW PROCESS For Rig Operations, refer to Rig Operations MOC form (Click Here For Link) Link)  and the Rig Operations MOC flowchart (Click Here For Link) Link) for further information. During the review process the following will be addressed as found in the MOC form:  Impacts of proposed change on the health of personnel



 Impacts of proposed change on the safety of personnel



 Impacts of proposed change on the environment



 Impacts of the proposed change on separate but unrelated upstream or downstream facilities



 Impacts of the proposed change on area wide emergency plans



 Necessary time period to implement changes



 Necessary revision to safe work practices (if applicable)



 Necessary revisions to the training program (if applicable)



 Communication of the proposed change to the appropriate personnel



 The duration of the change, if temporary



 Necessary revisions of the safety and environmental information as found in Rig Operations Element 2

RECORDS REQUIRED FOR AUDIT Record Requirements are defined in SEMS Element 12: Audit of Safety and Environmental Management Systems Program Elements.

4.4.3

STONE ENERGY’S MOC PROCESS  FOR CHANGES TO THE SEMS SE MS PROGRAM PROGRAM If a management of change results in a change to the operating procedures of Stone Energy’s SEMS program, the Stone Energy SEMS Steering Committee will address the change through the SEMS Document Change Request procedures.
