Safety Moment

Walt Rosenbusch — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 22:00:00 GMT

The following Safety Moment was contributed by Danny Garcia – Fairfield Nodal.

Being Safe 24/7

In America, people are safer at work than they are at home – 11 times safer.

Off the job	At Work
- 146 million workers at risk	- 146 million workers at risk
- 53,200 off-the-job deaths	- 4,988 on-the-job deaths
- 9.4 million off-the-job disabling injuries	- 3.7 million on-the-job disabling injuries
- $240.3 billion in off-the-job costs to society	- $164.7 billion in on-the-job costs to society

When you add friends and families into the equation there are a staggering 72,600 deaths that take place in homes and in the community from unintentional injuries, as well as over 20,200,000 disabling injuries, affecting 112 million households, costing Americans over $251.9 billion.

These injuries are from:

§ Falls, especially among adults 65 and older

§ Drivers who are distracted while texting or using their cell phones

§ Inexperienced teen drivers

§ Poisonings especially from unintentional drug overdose from painkillers or other prescription drugs

§ Sports injuries

§ Overexertion

§ Choking

§ Drowning

§ And many more incidents that were never intended to happen

As a society, we must think about safety not only when we’re at work, but when we’re home and in our communities, in our cars, or on vacation. By understanding the hazards we face, adopting safety as a fundamental right, and knowing that we can influence safe outcomes, together we can make this a safer world – each minute of the day, one day at a time.

US Ocean Policy Task Force Issues Interim Framework

Sarah Tsoflias — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 17:30:00 GMT

In the US, on December 14, 2009, President Obama’s Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force released its Interim Framework for Effective Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning and initiated a 60-day public review and comment period (previous newsletter articles on this topic). In announcing the release of this Framework document, the Administration said "With competing interests in the ocean, our coasts and the Great Lakes, the Interim Framework offers a comprehensive, integrated approach to planning and managing uses and activities. Under the Framework, coastal and marine spatial planning would be regional in scope, developed cooperatively among Federal, State, tribal, local authorities, and regional governance structures, with substantial stakeholder and public input."

Based on preliminary review, there are obvious concerns with the Framework as drafted. For example, the Framework seeks to establish 9 regions covering the entire US EEZ (and including State waters). Regional planning bodies, which will be made up of Federal and State agencies and Tribes, will be created for each region and will be charged with developing a plan for their region. These plans will guide how Federal agencies will act in that particular region. While the intent for the regional planning bodies has been described as not being to over-ride existing statutory authorities, these regional plans apparently will be binding, and there is concern they could either circumvent existing processes (ex: regional fishery management councils or the OCS 5-year plan process) or replace existing public involvement in specific Federal activities. Additionally, it is unclear how the interests of the community of users of ocean resources will be considered in the development of the plan, much less if appropriate weight will be given to their concerns. Further, it appears that these plans will govern activities out to 200 miles, include state waters, and reach inland to the extent that regional planning bodies determine is appropriate – an extensive reach. Finally, it is believed there will be a dispute resolution mechanism to referee disputes between agencies when developing these plans. This could mean that agencies which traditionally have had sole authority over an activity could be over-ridden by the regional planning process, or by other agencies.

The E&P industry, working through its trade associations, is presently analyzing this framework document and developing comments for submission to the Task Force by the February 12, 2010 deadline. IAGC is participating in this process. Comments on this Framework document by IAGC members are welcome and invited, and should be submitted to Sarah Tsoflias.

IAGC submits comments on Colombian Offshore Seismic Exploration Environmental Guide

Sarah Tsoflias — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 20:15:00 GMT

As reported in previous newsletter articles, the Colombian government is considering revising its procedure for permitting geophysical surveys. The Ministry of Environment, Housing and Territorial Development (MAVDT) might require that companies applying for a permit to conduct geophysical operations also will need to apply for an Environmental License, which would require an Environmental Impact Study and review process. MAVDT has developed a draft guidance document, Offshore Seismic Exploration Environmental Guide. The Environmental Guide identifies and classifies several environmentally sensitive areas by region, and suggests possible courses of action with regards to preservation, mitigation, control, and restricting access. In addition, the Environmental Guide recommends several environmental management measures including mitigation measures during marine seismic surveys. Proposed environmental management measures include a 3 km exclusion zone for mysticetes, a 1.5 km exclusion zone for odontocetes, and prohibiting seismic operations within 5 nautical miles of the coast.

Members of the Joint OGP/IAGC Sound & Marine Life Task Force (JSMLTF) reviewed and developed comments on the Offshore Seismic Exploration Environmental Guide. On 12 November 2009, on behalf of the JSMLTF, OGP and IAGC submitted joint comments on the Environmental Guide to MAVDT. In general, the comments emphasized the importance of conducting risk assessment and using the best available scientific information when developing mitigation measures instead of relying on the precautionary approach. In addition, the comment letter strongly objected to the large exclusion zones proposed in the Guide and stated that the proposed exclusion zones and other environmental management measures are not supported by the scientific literature, risk assessment or comparable international guidelines. The full text of the OGP / IAGC joint comment letter is available at http://www.iagc.org/en/cms/1117.

IAGC participates in MMS Workshop on Acoustic Mitigation and Monitoring Systems

Sarah Tsoflias — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 20:00:00 GMT

On 17-19 November 2009, the U.S. Minerals Management Service (MMS) convened a Workshop on Status and Applications of Acoustic Mitigation and Monitoring Systems for Marine Mammals in Boston, Massachusetts. The MMS stated the objective of the Workshop was to “learn about, discuss and better understand the current status of acoustic hardware and software tools for marine mammal monitoring and mitigation as applied to offshore industries. This will include the capability, applicability, feasibility, availability, cost and other benefits and limitations of acoustic systems as they pertain to different marine mammal and operational contexts.” The information presented at the Workshop and the discussion will be captured in a Workshop Report. The Workshop and associated Final Report will assist MMS in evaluating the capabilities of acoustic monitoring systems and determining their potential use as mitigation and monitoring tools during offshore operations permitted by MMS. The major topics discussed at the Workshop were Fixed Passive Acoustic Monitoring Systems, Towed Passive Acoustic Monitoring Systems, Active Acoustic Monitoring Systems, Signal Processing, Metrics, and Operational Issues.

Representing a diverse international group, workshop participants included representatives from MMS, National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and other US government agencies, IAGC staff and member companies, E&P companies, academia, scientists, consulting companies, service providers, equipment manufacturers and eNGOs. David Hedgeland (PGS), Bernard Padovani (CGGVeritas) and Philip Fontana (Polarcus) participated in an interactive panel session discussing the operational issues associated with conducting acoustic monitoring during marine seismic surveys and their experiences with acoustic monitoring systems. In addition, several scientists who conducted research projects for the OGP E&P Sound & Marine Life Joint Industry Program (JIP) provided presentations at the Workshop and/or were invited to participate as subject matter experts. The contribution of JIP-funded research to the advancement and understanding of acoustic monitoring systems was widely recognized and commended by Workshop attendees. Once it is finalized, the final Workshop report will be available at http://www.acousticmonitoring.org.

IAGC and OLF Develop New Guidelines for Fishery Liaisons onboard Seismic Vessels in Norwegian waters

Sarah Tsoflias — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 19:30:00 GMT

In 2009 the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) requested IAGC and the Norwegian Oil Industry Association (OLF) to jointly develop guidelines for fishery liaisons onboard seismic vessels in Norwegian waters. In November 2009, the IAGC Norway Committee and OLF released the Recommended Guidelines for Fishery Liaisons Onboard Seismic Vessels in Norwegian Waters and recommended that IAGC members and OLF members implement the measures contained in the Guidelines during seismic surveys in Norwegian waters. The Guidelines for Fishery Liaisons are available in English on the IAGC website at http://www.iagc.org/en/cms/?1060 and on the OLF website in Norwegian and English.

The objectives of the Guidelines for Fishery Liaisons are to “1) ensure that fishery liaisons are actively involved in planning and carrying out seismic surveys, 2) contribute to good coexistence between the fishery industry and the seismic industry, 3) provide fishery liaisons with the best and most predictable working conditions practicable, 4) ensure maximum independence for the role of the fishery liaison, and 5) increase knowledge on the part of responsible personnel on board the seismic vessels as regards fishing activity, fishing methods, and use of area.”

Many thanks to Jan Dalene and Steinar Heimtun of CGGVeritas for providing the information in this article.

Careers in the Geophysical Industry

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 20:17:32 GMT

Recruiting Video: The geophysical industry creates an amazing opportunity for individuals looking for an adventure. Althought the application of reflection seismic surveying has been in use for a long time, the geophysical exploration process is one with which very few individuals outside of the oil and gas industry are familiar. Educated and degreed geoscientists, through their schooling, have broad based knowledge of this process and the career path that may follow. For others not familiar, we want to give you a glimpse into this technique and the efforts that make it a reality. We hope that it will spark some interest and curiosity that will lead you to ask more questions, and possibly pursue a career in the geophysical industry.
