1.0 The Business Ethics Associated with use of the RAPID-S53Database
1.1. Preamble
The purpose of this section is to outline, in some detail, the main business ethics that regulateparticipation in the BOP Reliability Joint Industry Project (the “JIP”) and use of the RAPID-S53Database. It shouldbeunderstoodbyeveryuseraccessing thedatabase that it is each individualuser’s responsibility to ensure that their behavior, as concerns the database, its output orassociatedby-products, includingmeetings, isgovernedbytherulesoutlinedbelowandthattheycomplywiththeFair-UsePrinciplesdetailedinSection2.
1.2. BasicRequirement
Each JIP Participant shall uphold the highest standards of business ethics and shall require itsdirectors, officers, employees, consultants, agents and contractors to conduct themselves inaccordancewiththeprinciplesofintegrity,fairnessandtransparency.
1.3. ConflictsofInterest&CorruptPractices
EachJIPParticipantshallavoidanyconflictofinterestbetweenitsowninterestandtheinterestsofotherJIPParticipantsindealingwithorganizationsorindividualsdoing,orseekingtodo,businesswiththeJIP.
No JIP Participant will, directly or indirectly, receive from or give, or offer to give, anything ofmaterialvaluetoanyotherJIPParticipant,contractor,official,orotherpersonassociateddirectly,orindirectly,withtheexecutionoftheJIP.
1.4. AntitrustRequirements
EachJIPParticipantshall,whileperforminganytaskassociatedwiththeexecutionoftheJIP,complywithalltherelevantantitrustandanti-competitionlawsofthecountriesorterritoriesinwhichtheyoperate.
NoJIPParticipantwill,directlyorindirectly,obtainorattempttoobtainanydatacontainedinthedatabasetowhichthatJIPParticipantisnotentitled.
No JIP Participant will, directly or indirectly, approach any other JIP Participant with a view todiscussing,sharing,providingorrequestingdatafromthedatabase,rawdatawhichisdestinedforthe database, or any other information relating, directly or indirectly, to the execution of the JIP(includinganytechnicalorcommercialconclusionsanyJIPParticipantmaydrawfromsuchdataorinformation)exceptasmaybenecessaryforperformingtasksassociatedwiththeexecutionoftheJIP or in respect of any contract or other project onwhich the JIP Participants, in question, areparticipating.

AnyJIPParticipantthatbelievesthatitmaybeabletoaccess,ormayhavereceivedfromthedatabaseoranotherJIPParticipant,data,orotherinformationrelating,directlyorindirectly,totheexecutionoftheJIP(includinganytechnicalorcommercialconclusionsanyJIPParticipantmaydrawfromsuchdataorinformation),towhichitwouldnotbeentitledwillrefrainfromviewingtheinformationandwill immediatelyreport the incident to theIADCProjectManager.TheIADCProjectManagerwillreviewtherelevantinformation,advisetheJIPParticipantonhowtoproceedandtheJIPParticipantwill immediately comply with any directions given by The IADC Project Manager, including thepermanentdeletionoftherelevantinformation.
1.5. CompliancewiththeLaw
Each JIPParticipantshall comply,andshall require itscontractorsandsubcontractors tocomply,with all applicable laws and regulations of all government authorities, including any restrictionsdealingwiththeexportationoftechnicaldata,andthedirectproductsthereof,butexcludinganylawsorregulationsorJIPdirectionsforwhichcompliancemaycause,orresultin,non-compliancewithanotherconflictinglaworregulation.
NoJIPParticipantwill,directlyorindirectly,whileperforminganytaskassociatedwiththeexecutionoftheJIP,offer,pay,promisetopay,orauthorizethegivingofmoney,oranythingofvalue, toanOfficial,ortoanyotherperson,whileknowing,orbeingawareofaprobability,thatall,oraportionof, suchmoney, or thing of value,will be offered, given or promised, directly or indirectly, to anOfficialforthepurposeofinfluencingtheact,decisionoromissionofsuchOfficialtoobtainorretainbusinessrelatedtheexecutionoftheJIP,todirectbusinessrelatedtotheexecutionofthisJIPtoanyperson,ortoobtainimproperadvantageorbenefit.

2.0 Fair-UsePrinciples
2.1. Preamble
Thepurposeofthissectionistoidentifythekeyprinciplestowhichusersofthedatabasemustagreetoinordertoprotectthebestinterestsofallpartiesinvolvedandtokeepallusersfocusedonsafetyandproductimprovementandfreeofimproperuseforcommercialconsiderations.
2.2. MissionStatementoftheJointIndustryProject
ThemissionoftheBOPReliabilityDatabaseJointIndustryProject(the“JIP”)istoadvancethesafetyand efficiency of global drilling operations by promoting improvements in the reliability andperformanceofWellControlEquipmentandrelatedproductsandservices.
2.3. Rationalefor,andLimitationsonUseof,Database
TheintentofthedatabaseistocollectacomprehensivebodyofdatathatcanbeusedbyindividualcompaniestoimprovethereliabilityandefficientoperationofWellControlEquipment.Despitethenumerousbenefitsofthiseffort,itmustberecognizedthatsimilareffortshavebeenunsuccessfulinthe past, often due to inattention to the commercial risks of certain parties and concerns overimproperuseofdata.
Toavoidtheserisks,thegoverningstructure,principlesandoperationsoftheJIParedesignedto
further theMission Statement and for no other purpose. In addition to observing the foregoing,
meaningful collaboration and support from each of the JIP Participants is essential to enhance
industryknowledgeanddriveinnovationeffortsintheareaofBOPreliabilityandperformance.
Itisalsorecognizedthatindividualdatabaseusers,representingtheJIPParticipants,mustadhereto
certainconfidentialityconcernsaswellasconductallactivitiesincompliancewithintheletterand
spiritofallapplicableantitrustandanti-competitionlaws.Consequently,itisunderstoodthatusers
of the database agree to not use this database, its output or associated by-products, including
meetings,todrawjointtechnicalorcommercialconclusions(jointmeaningmorethanoneOperator,
Drilling Contractor or OEM) from the data in violation of such applicable anti-trust and
anti-competitionlaws.
It is also understood that certain data fields associated with each database record will be kept

Identify and define the componentinvolvedintheeventandthen:
• Definetheevent• Brainstorm and list the possible
causes• Select themost likely cause (must
be able to explain why it wasselected)
• Applythe“5Why”principle(ontheselected“mostlikely”cause)
• Repeatasking“why”untilthe“rootcause”isidentified
• Suggestpossiblesolution• Implement and validate the
