Description

Context

The availability of physical data underpins quality decisions made during feasibility and is one of the elements of Front-End Loading (FEL). Data can be subsurface/surface related and could be acquired off- and/or onshore. Examples of data acquisition activities include (land/soil) surveys, taking soil samples, on or offshore coring, drilling acquisition wells, Metocean data for Climate Adaptation etc.

Acquiring critical data needs to be carefully planned for and executed in a safe manner.

Activity

Once the physical data that needs to be acquired is defined; identify and assess HSSE & SP hazards and risks, involving relevant disciplines and functional experts (technical and non-technical).

Note: This activity does not address project execution risks in future phases but is specific to execution of early data gathering activities.

Purpose

To identify, assess and manage the potential HSSE & SP hazards and risks related to early data gathering activities.
