34、ell construction work (drilling, suspension, completion, testing, workover, and/or abandonment). TheWCID should emphasize barrier plans and well control practices by integrating the drilling contractors operatingguidelines with the lease operators well plan.The WCID is intended to align the well con
35、struction processes by:a) tying the safety critical well construction components/processes in the well plan documents to the drillingcontractors safe work practices;b) identifying risks associated with the proposed well work;c) identifying roles/responsibilities and communication protocols between t
36、he operator and contractor to facilitate thesafe execution of proposed well work;d) communicating essential information about the lease operators well construction execution plans to the drillingcontractor;e) addressing areas of the safety management process that may include management of change, we
37、ll control, liftingequipment, dropped objects, permit to work, helicopter operations, and incident database guidelines;f) addressing the well construction process within the context of the proposed well workdrilling, suspension,completion, testing, workover, and/or abandonment.Specific focus areas i
38、nclude: supplements of traditional drilling contractor bridging information that aligns safety systems and ensurespersonal safety during the well execution; the design basis to characterize the specific well construction environment; barrier and casing design, including:1) identification of barrier
39、requirements,2) establishment of barriers,3) testing and verification of barriers,4) operational measures taken to maintain barrier integrity (e.g. casing wear monitoring); overview of drilling and/or completions plan; management of change practices; use of stop work authority.vii1 Well Construction
40、 Interface Document Guidelines 1 Scope 1.1 This bulletin provides guidance on information that is to be shared regarding well construction and rig-specific operating guidelines. It is intended to align the lease operators safety and environmental management system (SEMS) with drilling contractors sa
41、fe work practices (CSWP). 1.2 The well construction interface document (WCID) is used to formalize the exchange of information as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1Well Construction Interface Document (WCID) Information NOTE The WCID is not intended to duplicate the health, safety, and environment (HSE) in
42、formation addressed by the lease operators HSE bridging document with the drilling contractor. 1.3 The WCID-SEMS is a bridging document that includes the elements identified in API 75 within the context of well construction activities. It is understood that work processes vary between operators and
43、contractors, which should be honored in the development of the WCID document. 1.4 The intent of the bridging document between the lease operators SEMS and the CSWP is to provide: a) an outline of responsibilities for the lease operators and drilling contractors personnel; b) acknowledgement that man
44、agement of change (MOC) and risk assessment processes should be used: during well construction activities, to address personnel or organizational changes to ensure personnel skill level is sufficient for the applicable position; c) a vehicle for the drilling contractor to be involved when operationa
45、l changes and/or conditions are identified that could require a well activity risk assessment; WCID-SEMS A bridging document between the lease operators safety and environmental management system (SEMS) and the CSWPWCID-Well Plan Summary of the well plan from lease operator to drilling contractor Dr

48、nt, geological and geophysical; b) well barrier plan risk identification; c) well execution plan. 1.6 To enhance safe operations, the well plan provides a basis for discussion of well construction equipment, barriers, risks, and the mitigations for those risks.
