10 Continuing Efforts Real-Time Monitoring classes ongoing at UT- Austin Even with update ongoing of Well-Control Rule, BSEE still interested in training their workforce on RTM capabilities Revamp the training sessions to a 3-day course that is less geared towards engineers and more towards inspectors. US Chemical Safety Board Riser Gas Unloading scenario research project Partnership between LSU and TAMU on Gulf Research Program Grant 10

11 Subsea Fastener Coatings Continuing Efforts BSEE task to conduct extensive literature search into Subsea Fastener Coatings research Use of zinc electroplating Availability of new and alternative coatings Availability of new and alternative non-metallic paint Current industry research efforts on zinc alternatives Corrosion performance criteria Implementation of alternate coatings for offshore operations Complement to BSEE NASEM project 11

12 Continuing Efforts Collaborative Research efforts continue Human Factors (TAMU/UT) Driller Situation Awareness Dr Flin Situation Awareness and Crew Resource Management Offshore Webinar in February/March Zonal Isolation (UT/UH) Refinement of CFD modeling New Materials (UH/TAMU) Papers published Further testing of HPHT capabilities 12

13 Continuing Efforts OESI Student work with DNV GL Master degree students from UH working with DNV GL data archives Areas of focus include: Digital Innovation Machine Learning Certification and Asset Management automation Image Recognition technology 13

14 Continuing Efforts National Academy Workshop attendance The Human Factors of Process Safety and Worker Empowerment in the Offshore Oil Industry, January. The Board on Human-Systems Integration will hold a workshop to review current scientific research from the behavioral and social sciences from fields such as human-systems integration, human factors, naturalistic/recognition primed decision making, hazard recognition and response, risk management, risk analysis, perception and process safety design. The workshop will also explore best practices and lessons learned from other high-risk, high-reliability industries 14

15 Continuing Efforts Workshop included, day one Macondo and the importance of worker empowerment for safety What is effective worker empowerment for offshore safety What role do different stakeholders play in effective worker empowerment for offshore safety Effective worker empowerment for offshore safety What are workplace barriers to effective worker empowerment for gulf offshore Lessons from refineries and offshore in other regions What are barriers to effective worker empowerment 15

16 Continuing Efforts Workshop included, day two Lessons from Piper Alpha Current systems for worker responses to unsafe conditions, worker interventions and reporting Barriers to effective systems for taking action and reporting when hazards are observed on offshore gulf How can safety systems for taking action and reporting hazards be improved What are essential behavior and training elements for effective worker empowerment on safety What are the remaining challenges and unanswered questions 16

18 Outline Background 2017 Efforts Communications Research Path Forward 18

19 DoI Intent "The funding for this initiative was provided to establish an institute that would operate independently of the Department of the Interior while also supporting and enhancing Departmental programs through collaborative research and development and training to help identify operational improvements in the areas of offshore drilling and production safety and spill prevention. This is an effort to establish an institute that can work with academia, the oil and gas industry, regulators and nongovernmental organizations on the extremely important issues of increasing worker safety and environmental protection during the exploration, development and production of the nation s valuable offshore oil and natural gas resources." 19
