Is COSL’s offshore drilling safe?

According to past HSE statistics, safety issues have always been the major issue that CNOOC is most concerned about.

CNOOC has always strictly required itself according to the internationally stringent safety standards set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) of the U.S. Department of Labor, such as the rate of occupational diseases and occupational accidents per thousand people, lost working hours, and disabled working hours, The amount of harmful substances emitted, the amount of noise, etc., serve as the objective basis for performance before and after implementation.

CNOOC’s OSHA indicators have always been in the leading position in the world. Risks to employees do exist, but it mainly depends on whether you can comply with various safety regulations.

The time spent at sea is usually one shift every three weeks. Unless you volunteer, no one wants you to stay too long.

I have heard about it in the past six months since I went to sea. It seems that Quanhai Oil has produced one or two, which are very famous.

In September 2005, CNOOC held a large-scale comprehensive emergency drill for offshore oil and gas production to test the emergency response and rescue capabilities of offshore oil field sites and related land units, as well as the use and coordination of emergency resource deployment. ability.

The exercise simulated a blowout crisis, covering everything from out-of-control blowout to hydrogen sulfide leakage - personnel poisoning - first aid for poisoned personnel - platform fire - platform firefighting - casualties - crude oil leakage - abandoned platform evacuation - The entire crisis management process from rescue of people falling into the water to oil spill recovery.

In 2005, no major casualties or liability accidents occurred within CNOOC; no oil spill accidents occurred.

Good cultural construction is a necessary condition for doing a good job in health, safety and environmental protection. Through the construction of safety culture, CNOOC has created a good safety and humanistic atmosphere in the company, which has an invisible to tangible impact on employees' concepts, awareness, attitudes, behaviors, etc., thereby controlling employees' unsafe behaviors to achieve Reduce the effect of man-made accidents. In 2005, CNOOC increased its efforts to promote the concept of health, safety, environmental protection and safety culture, and made "Company's concept of health, safety, environmental protection and safety culture" a key course in various training programs of the company. At the same time, it actively cooperated with other enterprises, industries and governments Organizations share safety management practices and experiences. It is important to establish a systematic management system, but it is even more important for the management system to be conscientiously implemented. To this end, during the inspection, review, performance appraisal and cultural construction process of health, safety and environmental protection work, CNOOC emphasizes the "execution" culture and passes the system review , special inspections and evaluation of implementation status. CNOOC insists on: all activities comply with the laws and regulations of the country or region where the operation is located, implement industry norms and standards, protect the safety and health of personnel, protect the environment and company property, and effectively utilize resources; through systematic management, ensure health, safety and environmental protection Performance improves year by year.
