4.1. Proposed European Union Regulation on Offshore Oil and Gas Safety
As part of its response to the Deepwater Horizon disaster in April 2010, the European Commission (EC)initiatedareviewofhealthandsafetypracticesandthelegislativeframeworkrelatingtooffshoreoilandgasexplorationandproductionactivitiesacrosstheEU.ThereviewconcludedthattheriskofamajoroffshoreaccidentinEUwatersremainsunacceptablyhighandtheexistingfragmentedlegislationanddiversepracticesdonotprovideforallachievablereductionsinrisk.Asaresultofthatreviewanditsconclusions,on27October2011,theECissuedaproposalfora“Regulationonsafetyofoffshoreoilandgasprospection,explorationandproductionactivities”.
ThroughouttheperiodleadinguptothisproposalithadbeenevidentthattheECregardedtheUKlegislativeregimeasanexemplar,andthedraftregulationdrawsonUKregulationforasignificantpartofitscontent.However,Oil&GasUKconcludedthattheproposedregulationisunacceptableasitwouldhaveanimmediatedetrimentaleffectonsafetystandardsintheUKoffshoreoilandgasindustryandwouldprovidenosignificantimprovementinoverallsafetystandards.
Oil&GasUKalsocommissionedGLNobleDentontoreviewtheimpactassessmentundertakentosupportthe regulation. This review concluded that the EC impact assessmentwas fundamentally flawed and thejustificationfortheproposedregulationinvalid.

4.5. Ageing and Life Extension (HSE Key Programme 4)
TheHSEKey Programme4 (KP4) focuses on themanagement of asset ageing and life extension by dutyholders.TheprogrammewasinitiatedinrecognitionofthefactthattheUKcontinentalshelf(UKCS)isnowamatureoilandgasprovinceandmanyinstallationsare“approachingorhaveexceededoriginalanticipateddesign life”.Although theHSE’smain focus ison installations in that category, the inspectionprogrammeextendstoalldutyholdersandallinstallations.
In January2011,Oil&GasUKconvenedameetingonKP4atwhich itwasagreed thatanAgeing&LifeExtension (ALE)Networkwould be established to provide a communication forum for issues aroundALEandKP4inspections.112peoplesubsequentlysigneduptothatnetwork,whichfunctionsviatheOil&GasUKextranet.InthatmeetingitwasalsoagreedtodevelopindustryguidanceonmanagingALEandaworkgroupwasformedtothatend.TheworkgroupcomprisedsixdutyholderrepresentativesandwaschairedbyAndy Laneof TalismanEnergy.

Oil & Gas UK • HCR Data Publication - openness
and sharing of information • Supplementary Guidelines for HCR
Reporting – work group formed to review the guidance to ensure accurate and robust approaches to HCR reporting
• HCR events: Offshore Europe breakfast (12 September 2011) and HCR Seminar (15 March 2012)
• KPI-2 Verification Non-Compliance – process containment findings now required
Individual Companies• Built target into their business plans• Continue to share analyses of
the root causes of incidents and circulate best practice
• Top performing companies are sharing their knowledge and experience with other members
Step Change in Safety• Asset Integrity Steering Group has
initiated an industry-wide HCR root cause analysis exercise using 474 HCRs related data supplied from 20 duty holders. Results of the analysis have been widely shared within the industry
• The Steering Group also set up the HCR Prevention Sub-Group and the FPSO & FPF Sub-Group to improve industry’s HCR performance
• Verification Sub-Group is to deliver guidance on verification and
assurance

KPI-1 Hydrocarbon
Releases• Managed by the HSE, the database is currently being upgraded• Data are now published on the Oil & Gas UK website
KPI-2 Verification Non-
Compliances
• Process containment non-conformities are collated to provide linkage to KPI-1 • Tracking of the top three safety-critical elements featuring in non-compliances to identify common areas for improvement• Tracking the percentage of verification activity completed against planned activity
KPI-3Safety-Critical Maintenance
Backlog
• Monitoring the percentage of safety-critical maintenance that is incomplete in the period rather than showing the manhours smooths out many of the variations in backlog reporting and allows the industry to set reduction targets• Drilling further into data to understand issues and improvement needs
