Process Safety KPI’s - Wells and Drilling Activities

摘要

An essential element of any improvement program is the measure of existing performance needs, as wellrnas identification of new and future needs. This paper presents Process Safety KPI’s (Key PerformancernIndicators) for Wells and Drilling activities, created by a committee in a Brazilian Energy Companyrncomprised by experienced professionals with expertise in those activities. The continuous improvementrnof Process Safety Management in this company leaned on four steps: accidents (definition of processrnsafety anomalies), competence, diagnostics and implementation of effective leading and lagging processrnsafety metrics. The company understands that said continuous improvement can be achieved through therndefinition of accidents, incidents and Process Safety deviations, awareness promotion, process safetyrntraining (developed in cooperation with the Corporate University), definition of Process Safety Managementrnelements at corporate level and development and implementation of effective leading and laggingrnprocess safety metrics with periodic critical analysis.rnMonitoring and analysis of results derived from Process Safety Indicators provide inputs to therncontinuous improvement process in Safety Management. In fact, these results make it possible to focusrnefforts on the weaknesses identified and to determine potential opportunities for improvement. Furthermore,rnthroughout the maturation time of these indicators, it is possible to verify those that are mostrnrepresentative for the process under analysis and the need for reformulation or exclusion of some metricsrnduring the trial period.
