Guidelines for the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Resource (Resource Management and Administration) Regulations 2014 A new WMP must include the following: Description of the activity The WMP should include a comprehensive description of the activity including its location, construction details and layout, operational details and any additional information (detailed maps and coordinates, etc) relevant to the consideration of the impacts and risks of the activity. Identification of risks and impacts of the activity All sources of risk and their impacts either directly or indirectly resulting from the well activity should be identified in the WMP, whether they arise from normal operations or potential emergency conditions (incidents), accidental or otherwise. A WMP should outline the risk identification methodology used in the development of the WMP (e.g. HAZID workshop, literature review, past experience, etc.). Sources of risk and their associated impacts must be identified for planned (routine and non-routine) and unplanned (accidents/incidents) activities for any given activity. Assessment of identified risks and impacts Risk assessment (RA) involves the assessment of the likelihood and consequence of identified impacts (or potential impacts) occurring. Figure 3 provides a conceptual structure of the RA process required when preparing a WMP. Section 3.3.2 provides useful definitions related to risk assessment. This section is used to evaluate all impacts likely to directly, or indirectly, arise from the activity, as well as assess their causes, likelihood, consequences and control measures. The WMP should include details of the methodology used in the RA process. The RA matrix used by the title holder should be provided in this section. Table 1 provides an example risk classification table showing indicative risk zones for determining risk levels. It is common practice to present a summary of the risk assessment results in the form of a table. Performance objectives, standards and measurement criteria The WMP should include performance objectives, standards and measurement criteria that address the legislative and other controls that manage the well activity. Performance objectives The WMP should define the aims and objectives that are identified by the title holder to ensure protection of the resource. These objectives should relate to each risk and impact identified during the RA process, and be consistent with commitments and targets presented in the company’s Corporate well management policy. Performance standards The WMP should define the quality of the performance the title holder is aiming for. Each performance objective should include at least one related standard (usually there is more than one standard required per objective). The standards should be consistent with the Corporate well management policy and legislation relevant to the activity. Measurement criteria For each objective and its standards, specifically related measurable criteria should be included in order to measure performance against the objectives and standards. The measurement criteria should allow for direct measurement of performance by inspection or audit. 3.4 3.4.1 • • • • up-to-date description of the well activity; re-evaluation of all sources of risks and their impacts; re-evaluation of the well drilling activity risk assessment; and re-evaluation of drilling performance objectives, standards and criteria. Partial Approval of a WMP Regulatory Requirements Regulation 13(2) of the Petroleum (RMA) Regulations states that the approval of one or more parts of the WMP is taken to be the rejection of other parts of the plan that are not approved by the Department. 3.4.2 Guidelines At one or more stages of a WMP assessment, the Department may approve the WMP in part for a particular stage of the activity, or impose limits or conditions applying to operations for the activity. No activity outside the approved stages may be carried out. 3.5 Content and Preparation of a Well Management Plan 3.5.1 Overview A WMP should be a cohesive document in which all of the requirements of the relevant Petroleum (RMA) Regulations are logically linked. The content of each section should reflect or address the content of the preceding section(s) in the sequence. It is not mandatory that a WMP be structured exactly as outlined in Schedule 1 of the RMA Regulations, but it must follow a logical sequence. Although the structure and minimum contents of a WMP must follow the guidance provided in this document, the information and level of detail included in a WMP should be consistent with the nature and scale of the operations carried out during the activity. It should be emphasised that the intent of the WMP is to act as an approval document, as well as a practical implementation/management tool to be used by the title holders in the field. Well Management Policy The WMP should include a copy of, or clear outline of the corporate well management policy. This policy should contain the organisation’s objectives, targets and commitments. Legislation and Requirements The WMP should include a list of all requirements that apply to the activity (e.g. State legislation). Providing this information demonstrates the title holder is aware of all relevant legislation and other requirements relevant to that specific activity to be undertaken. Referrals The WMP should include information related to referral to agencies other than the Department. Information should include triggers identified for initiating the referral, date document referred, agency referred to, date approved or not approved, level of assessment and any other relevant information. www.dmp.wa.gov.au | 6
