The existing Akepo-1 well is located at Lat N 05 deg 15 18.837 Long E 05 deg
16 34.894. This exploratory well has recently been re-entered, tested and
completed. At the present level of completion, the well has been installed with a
free standing 30-inch conductor, with a Christmas tree at the top end. There is
no other structure at the well location presently.
The Plan in conjunction with CONTRACTORs HSE Plan shall ensure that Loss
Prevention is maximized during the Load-Out phase of the project.
2.0 SCOPE
2.1 This procedure defines the minimum requirement, methods to be
applied and equipment to be used during the Load-Out and Sea-
Fastening of the Equipment, Facilities, and Pre-fabrication on
transportation Truck, Vessel/Craft using Cranes.
2.2 CONTRACTOR shall use Cranes, Trucks, and Flat top barges to Load-
Out all fabricated structures.
3.0 DEFINITIONS
3.1 Load-out
Load-out is the process of moving and materials and/or structures from
Onne CONTRACTOR Cs pipe storage to CONTRACTORs Worji Base
Yard, Warri and Offshore
3.2 Sea-Fastening
Sea-Fastening is the process of installation of tie-down braces in such a
way as to minimize damage to the Linepipes, Equipment or Structure on
the vehicle or water craft to provide a safe tie-down system during Load-
out.
4.0 REFERENCES
The following CONTRACTOR C approved Specifications, Industry Codes,
Standards, & Recommended Practices shall be followed during the Load-out
operations of the offshore structures.
These documents shall record, also, any deviations from the original plan, all un-
usual environmental conditions that may occur.

7.2 RESPONSIBILITIES
The Responsibilities of the activity personnel are described here below:
7.2.1 Project Manager.
The Project Manager shall ensure that all activities are carried out in
accordance with CONTRACTORs Quality, CASHES and
CONTRACTOR C approved Standard construction specification and
other applicable codes and standards, reporting to the Project
Director.
However, he shall be directly responsible to ensure:
a) The adoption of safe working procedures including safe place of
work.
b) The establishment of CASHES Management system
implementation program.
c) Auditing of programme and plans to measure progress and
identification of deficiencies.
d) Adequate training of personnel to improve their safety at work.
e) That adequate Liaison with Corporate CASHES Management for
specialist advice is carried out.
f) Selected Sub-contractors are able to meet company standards.
g) Those deficiencies in equipment, standards, operating
procedures or training are corrected.
h) Promotion of a high degree of safety and environmental
awareness by personal example.
i) All accidents are reported and investigated according to company
procedures and CONTRACTOR C requirements.
8.2.4 Personnel
All personnel shall be transported to site by CONTRACTOR C air
operations from Port Harcourt.
3 These corrective measures shall revise the River Bar tide table.
The cargo barge shall be brought Stern to Quay and held secured on the
mooring hardware already at the quay.
11.0 BARGE BALLASTING SYSTEM
.1 Introduction
The Barge Ballasting system consists of the followings:
High capacity, low head, diesel driven, multi stage centrifugal
pump(s).
Suction Hoses, foot valves, & strainers.
Discharge Header; containing:-
- Header Pipe.
- Tees.
- Butterfly Valves.
- Discharge Hoses.
The Ballast Pumps, and the header / manifold (c/w valves) shall be
installed onboard an
800hp Tug Boat.
Suitable hoses (c/w quick couplings) shall be used for water distribution.
This shall help in giving room on barge deck, and improving pump NPSH.
.2 Ballasting Sequence
i) Pre-ballasting
Pre-ballasting of the barge shall be done using external pumps.
a.
This shall help achieve zero trim and heel before load-out
During the filling of the tanks, all pumps shall be tested so
capacity of each pump can be checked against the rated
b.
capacity. During this phase also the pumps which are pumping
out shall be tested.
The tank fillings shall be according to the pump schedule of the
c.
ballast procedure.
d. Water level at each tank shall be measured.
ii) Preparations
During pre-installation of the Ro-Ro ramps, the barge shall be
a.
leveled using the external pumps.
b. Required pump capacity is subject to detailed barge features.
Water level and tide shall be monitored on a gauge located at
c. the load-out quay. Tide gauge monitoring shall start 3 days
before Load Out date.
iii) Monitoring ballasting during Load Out.
Sufficient mooring lines shall be installed to keep the barge
a.
within the tolerances
b. Barge movements limitations:
- Movement of barge in rolling direction: Subject to barge use
c. - Movement of barge transverse to rolling skid direction: Subject
to barge use
iii
Monitoring ballasting during Load Out (contd.)
)
During the load out the alignment of the barge shall be
d.
monitored.
Due to limited inclination forces, the heel of the barge shall be
monitored and corrected if the inclination reaches 0.5%. The
e.
monitoring shall be done by means of a water level with a
length of 30 mt from one side of the barge to the other.
In the same way the trim of the barge shall be monitored and
f.
corrected if the inclination reaches 0.5%.
The level of the barge in relation to the quay edge shall be
g.
monitored with two gauges from the quay edge.
.3 Mooring Ancillaries
Mooring system shall consist of the following minimum components:
- Two sling wires tied to jetty mooring cleats.
- Trucks (or Caterpillar crawler tractors) shall pull the said sling wires via
turnbuckles.
- Ocean going Tug Boat (Pusher) at the bow side of the Cargo Barge.
All personnel to be engaged for this work shall be mobilized and properly
inducted, using Workbooks and Videotapes as Teaching Aids.

operations.
Appropriate to PPE is used at all times i.e. safety harnesses & the
personnel on the platform use work vests.
The operations shall be carried out in a manner that shall prevent health
problems to the staff and others, and give health of staff adequate
attention backed up with required resources.
All workers shall be medically certified fit to work at the site. The
result and data obtained by medical examination shall be suitably
recorded and kept for reference.
The health, safety and environment of the workers shall be properly
safeguarded to avoid injuries and illness
Site Clinics shall be located on each Barge. These shall be fully
equipped with essential drugs, with qualified Nurses in charge.
Any illness that could not be handled by the site Clinic shall be
referred to the company retainer Clinic in Port Harcourt.
Medivac shall be available to convey any victim to the nearest
affiliated clinic should there arise an emergency.
All injuries/illnesses shall be recorded in the First Aid register and
also treated as an accident reported through normal lines of
reporting.
All Catering staff to be engaged in the catering services on the
project shall undergo thorough medical examination and certification
before commencing the job.
Gas tests shall be continued throughout the course of the work where
explosive gas build-up is suspected and the frequency and range of such
tests shall be to the approval of the CONTRACTOR C Representative.
No hot work shall be undertaken if the results of the gas tests show a level
of gas concentration that could constitute hazards.

The purpose of the meeting is both safety of the worker at the tool
handling level as
well as organization of the work on daily basis.
