SIMOPS Gas Venting - Safety Moment

  • On the WHP, a well had stopped flowing and was shut-in
  • To restart the well an operator was asked to vent the topside’s gas from the shut-in well – this routine procedure did not normally need a Permit to Work.
  • The gas vent was located high on the wellhead but close to the attending jack-up
  • The jack-up OIM smelled gas, notified the drill rig control room and all hot-work was immediately suspended and systems made safe
