1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 Background

Dating back to 1999, several projects were undertaken by Det Norske Veritas (DNV) on behalf of the UK Health & Safety Executive (HSE) with the purpose of obtaining accident statistics for offshore fixed and floating units on the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS). In this respect, four databases holding information about incidents having occurred on offshore units on the UKCS were interrogated. The most recent project related to fixed and floating units, Accident Statistics for Offshore Units on the UKCS 1990 2006 was completed in March 2008. This current project updates the data of the previous projects by adding the accidents having occurred in 2007. It should be noted that statistics for the period 1980-1989 is omitted in this report, but may be found in the reports from the projects Accident Statistics for Fixed Offshore Units on the UK Continental Shelf 1980 2005 and Accident Statistics for Floating Offshore Units on the UK Continental Shelf 1980 2005, which were completed in 2007. The decision is based on the fact that the reporting requirements and systems changed dramatically in the UK around 1990 following the issuing of the Lord Cullen Report from the Piper Alpha accident in 1988. This project has been commissioned and sponsored by the Oil & Gas UK with co-funding from UK Health & Safety Executive.
1.2 Confidentiality
In order to ensure that the final results of this project are accurate and in line with the Quality Control requirements of the DNVs WOAD databank it has been necessary to obtain "raw" data from each of the databases interrogated. Raw data is defined as the data concerning a specific incident which identified the installation, operator, location, date and time. The data so obtained enabled quality checks to be undertaken on the different databases to prevent double counting of an incident or accident. It has been a condition of former contracts between the HSE and DNV (the custodians of the WOAD databank) that any information so obtained will only be exported in a non attributable form to protect confidentiality and once the project is completed, the raw data will be destroyed. Similarly it is a condition of this contract that any request for data obtained by WOAD as a result of this project will result in data being supplied which is non attributable and will not allow identification of the name of the installation, company, location, date or time of an incident. It will thus be impossible to pinpoint the installation or operator by any means.
1.3 Objectives
The main objective of the project is to obtain complete statistics for accidents and incidents having occurred on offshore fixed and floating units engaged in the oil and gas exploration and exploitation on the UKCS in the period 1990-2007, including numbers of accidents and incidents with corresponding frequencies per type of installation/rig. This is published both as a written report and two associated spreadsheets in the MS Excel format Issue April 2009 1-5
listing individually the coding and text for each incident, one for fixed units and one for floaters. Fixed units in this project are defined as comprising all bottom-fixed structures, but excluding TLPs, FPSOs, FSUs and production jackups even though they are fixed during their production phase and are classified as fixed installations by the HSE under the Safety Case Regulations. These units are defined and reported under floating units which are defined as comprising semi-submersibles, jackups, ships and tension-leg platforms engaged in drilling, accommodation, production and storage. The results from this study will serve as a reference document for data to be used in future Risk Assessments of offshore units, be a valuable reference document for Oil & Gas UK and furthermore for UK Health & Safety Executive Offshore Division (HSE-OSD) when reviewing Safety Cases. To fulfil this objective, relevant databases were interrogated with respect to both population and accident data thus forming a complete basis of data for obtaining comprehensive accident statistics for the type of units, geographical area and time period considered in this project. The following databases were selected for interrogation: COIN/ORION (the former Sun Safety System); UK HSE-Offshore Safety Division Offshore Blowout Database (SINTEF, Norway) Worldwide Offshore Accident Databank WOAD; DNV, Norway MAIB accident database; UK Marine Accident Investigation Branch Prior to 1999, HSE noted that extensive reference was made to the WOAD database in many of the Safety Cases submitted to them by the offshore operators. Consequently the decision was made to utilise the WOAD incident definitions, codings and format in the new database. Utilising the same methodology and format would enable the operators and owners of offshore installations to readily adapt to the use of the new database. DNV, as the custodian of the WOAD database was therefore selected as the contractor to undertake the work on behalf of the HSE. A major part of the work of DNV has thus been the redefining of each incident, in the various databases interrogated, to reflect the definitions, codings and format used in WOAD.
1.4 Results
The information being available for each incident has been reviewed and the chain of events has been obtained. The classification of events has been done according to the WOAD concept. One accident may comprise a chain of consecutive events (accident outcomes or occurrences), e.g. a blowout resulting in explosion, fire and oil spill. This means that one single accident or incident may give rise to several occurrences. The total number of occurrences will thus be much higher than the total number of accidents recorded. When giving frequencies per type of event, this is presented as number of occurrences per unit per year. However, when presenting frequencies irrespective of type of event, the figures are given as number of accidents per unit per year. By combining and merging the results from the interrogation of four databases, COIN/ORION, MAIB, WOAD and BLOWOUT, the accident and occurrence frequencies for both fixed and floating units in the UKCS in the period 1990-2007 are estimated. In the
Issue April 2009

following tables the accident (or occurrence) frequencies, i.e. number of accidents (or occurrences) per unit year, are given per type of installation, event (only occurrences) and the periods 1990-1999, 2000-2007, and 1990-2007. N denotes number of accidents (or occurrences) and F denotes average annual frequency per unit in the specific time period, i.e. number of accidents (or occurrences) per unit and year. The source All databases combined refers to the database obtained by pooling the four mentioned databases and removing the overlapping records. Note that - is applied where no accidents/occurrences have been recorded (and hence no frequencies calculated) or if the given event is not applicable/relevant for the given type of units. The results, after having interrogated the databases and removed overlapping records are also detailed in the associated Excel spreadsheets. The spreadsheets, together with this report, may be downloaded by accessing the websites of Oil & Gas UK and HSE, http://www.oilandgasuk.co.uk/ and http://www.hse.gov.uk/research/rrhtm/index.htm respectively. Within the spreadsheets, in addition to other fields, each of the incidents is described in free text.

3 OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE OF WORK

The main objective of the project is to obtain complete statistics for accidents and incidents having occurred on offshore fixed and floating units engaged in oil and gas exploration and exploitation on the UKCS in the period 1990-2007, including numbers of accidents and incidents with corresponding frequencies per type of installation/rig. This is published both as a written report and two associated spreadsheets in the MS Excel format listing individually the coding and text for each incident, one for fixed units and one for floaters. The classification of installations and rigs which are covered by this project is found in the table below. Table 8 Classification of units

Fixed units in this project are defined as comprising bottom-fixed installations (manned or unmanned) designed for drilling, accommodation, production, compression, pumping, and injection/riser purposes, or combinations of these. Regarding production installations, the study differentiates between the traditional (manned) production platforms, steel jackets or GBSs, and wellhead platforms (normally unmanned). Floating units in this project are defined to comprise drilling, accommodation, and floating production and storage units. In addition, FPSOs, FSUs, and TLPs are classified as floating units although they are classified as fixed installations by the HSE under the Safety Case Regulations. The results from this study will serve as a reference document for data to be used in future Risk Assessments of offshore units, be a valuable reference document for Oil & Gas UK and furthermore for UK Health & Safety Executive Offshore Division (HSE-OSD) when reviewing Safety Cases. To fulfil this objective, relevant databases were interrogated with respect to both population and accident data thus forming a complete data basis for obtaining comprehensive accident statistics for the said type of units, geographical area and time period. The following four databases were selected for interrogation: COIN/ORION*, UK HSE-OSD Offshore Blowout Database BLOWOUT, SINTEF, Norway Worldwide Offshore Accident Databank WOAD, Det Norske Veritas (DNV), Norway MAIB accident database; UK Marine Accident Investigation Branch

4 EXPOSURE DATA 4.1 Introduction

Exposure (population) data in this context relates to the number of unit- (or platform/rig-) years for each type of installation. By interrogating relevant sources holding such information, the number of unit-years are obtained for each year and type of unit for the UKCS in the period 1990-2007. The results are shown in several tables in the following sub-chapters. The classification of units is shown in the previous chapter. Note that - is applied to indicate that no units are in service in the specific year/period. Note that numbers for each year in the period 1990-1999 may be found in ref. /1/ and ref. /2/.

4.6 Floating Accommodation Units

Several potential sources for such information were consulted with no success. It was concluded that if such data was to be obtained, extensive manual work had to be performed. Hence no exposure data for accommodation units was obtained within the scope of this study. This implies that no accident and incident frequencies for these units are calculated in this report.

5 INCIDENT REPORTING IN UK WATERS

The existing reporting requirements of incidents on floating units operating (working, in transit or docked) on the UKCS depend on geographical location and operation mode at the time of the incident. The receiver of information is either the Health and Safety Executive - Offshore Division (HSE-OSD), the Health and Safety Executive Field Operations Directorate (HSE-FOD) or the Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB). In the following three chapters one may find some documentation of the incident and accident reporting regime for offshore vessels in UK waters. This regime may be summarised as shown in the table below. Table 16 Overview of the UKCS incident reporting regime; UK and non-UK flagged vessels Location/activity Flag Report to MAIB MAIB MAIB Flag state HSE-OSD HSE-OSD HSE-FOD HSE-FOD Within the 12-mile limit and not an UK Offshore Installation (e.g. in transit) Non UK* Outside the 12-mile limit and not an Offshore Installation (e.g. in transit) UK Non UK*
Working as an Offshore Installation UK (e.g. drilling, production, Non UK* accommodation) Alongside at a shipyard (e.g. for repair or maintenance) UK Non UK*
*): Presumably the non-UK flagged vessels would also report to the relevant Flag State Descriptions of the three main databases holding this information and operated by the HSE and MAIB, are given in chapter 6.

6 OVERVIEW OF DATABASES
This chapter gives a short presentation of the 4 databases being interrogated in this project.
6.1 COIN/ORION
The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 (RIDDOR 95) arrangement came into force on 1 April 1996 and requires that all workrelated accidents, diseases and dangerous occurrences in the UK and UK Continental Shelf are to be reported to the HSE. It applies to all work activities and to defined types of incidents. The incidents are to be reported using the OIR/9B and F2508A forms. These forms are to be completed and submitted to the HSE. Prior to 1 April 1996 injuries and dangerous occurrences were reported on the OIR/9A form. This form was created under the Mineral Workings (Offshore Installations) Act 1971 and the Offshore Installations (Inspectors and Casualties) Regulations 1973. The information submitted on the OIR/9A, OIR/9B and F2508A forms is recorded in a database, ORION (the former Sun Safety System), run by the HSE-OSD offices in Bootle, Liverpool. The Sun Safety System (later ORION and now COIN) was primarily developed to record incident data reported on the OIR/9A form. Other information is however recorded on the database, including details of inspections, investigations, prosecutions and the registration and location details of Offshore Installations. The OIR/9A form was first published in October 1990, and the Sun Safety System was implemented in 1st January 1991. The Sun Safety System does however contain some data on pre 1991 incidents (imported from previous systems maintained by the Safety Directorate of the Department of Energy), though not all fields on the OIR/9A form are available for this data. The Sun Safety System was decommissioned year 2000 and all data from 1991(incl.) was transferred to ORION. Commencing in 2004 the data from a number of HSE legacy software systems was migrated across, in its entirety, to the new Corporate Operational INformation system or COIN, the work was completed by 2005. ORION was one of the systems migrated to COIN and the data previously recorded in ORION is now contained within the COIN system Note that notification of hydrocarbon releases (voluntarily submitted on the OIR/12 form) are also recorded in a separate and specifically designed database which is maintained by the HSE-OSD offices in Bootle, Liverpool.
6.2 BLOWOUT
The SINTEF Offshore Blowout Database (BLOWOUT) is a comprehensive event database for blowout risk assessment. The database includes information on 552 (November 2006) offshore blowouts/well releases that have occurred worldwide since 1955.
Issue April 2009
1-22
The database includes blowout/well release descriptions worldwide and drilling and production exposure data for several areas with focus on the US Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf (US GoM OCS), Norwegian waters, and UK waters. The blowouts/well releases are categorized in several parameters, emphasizing blowout causes. The database contains 51 different fields describing each blowout/well release. In addition, the database allows for attachment of any electronic file(s) to the blowout description. The various fields are grouped in six different groups: Category and location Well description Present operation Blowout causes Blowout Characteristics Other
ExproSoft has been contracted to operate the SINTEF Offshore Blowout Database from 1 May 2001 by SINTEF.
6.3 WOAD
One of the main sources for offshore accident information for public use is the Worldwide Offshore Accident Databank (WOAD) operated by Det Norske Veritas (DNV). WOAD contains some 6,000 events from the period 1970-2007, derived mainly from publicdomain sources such as Lloyds Casualty Reports, newspapers and official publications. Most of the data is from the UK and Norwegian Sectors and the US Gulf of Mexico. Exposure data is also provided, allowing accident rates to be calculated for different accident types, installation/rig/platform types, geographical locations, degrees of damage, etc.
6.4 MAIB
The Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) is a distinct and separate branch within the Department of Transport and the Regions (DETR). Its Chief Inspector reports directly to the Secretary of State for Transport on marine accident investigations. The authority of the MAIB to investigate marine accidents originates from the Merchant Shipping Act 1995. MAIBs responsibility covers the investigation of accidents to or on: all UK registered vessels anywhere in the world other vessels being within the 12-mile zone of the UK coast (UK territorial waters) For offshore floating vessels all accidents and incidents occurring in transit should be reported to MAIB according to the above. Accidents must be reported as soon as possible to the MAIB by the quickest means available. Serious injuries and dangerous occurrences must be reported within 14 days or within 14 days after arrival at the next port if the vessel is at sea at time of the accident. The reporting form presently being used is IRF (DFT1598).
Issue April 2009
1-23
About 2000 incidents are reported per year to MAIB of which about 500 require some sort of MAIB correspondence follow-up, for clarification purposes or investigation. Most of these are from UK waters. Additional information about reporting and investigation of accidents by the MAIB may be found at http://www.maib.dft.gov.uk/about_us/index.cfm. MAIB maintains a database covering accidents and incidents from 1991 to date. Beside the said forms and notifications, daily reports from the UK Coast Guard serve as first-hand information input to the database. Today the database contains some 30,000 events covering all types of incidents and accidents, ranging from smaller low-consequence events and near-misses to major accidents with loss of life.

7 EVENT CLASSIFICATION AND CODING PRINCIPLES

The WOAD concept of classifying events has been selected for the review work on the records received from the databases being interrogated in this project. Hence all events have been categorised, both within this report and the associated spreadsheets, according to the table below. Table 17 Event classification, WOAD
Type of event Anchor failure Blowout Capsize Code* AN BL CA Explanation Problems with anchor/anchor lines, mooring devices, winching equipment or fairleads (e.g. anchor dragging, breaking of mooring lines, loss of anchor(s), winch failures). An uncontrolled flow of gas, oil or other fluids from the reservoir, i.e. loss of 1. barrier (i.e. hydrostatic head) or leak and loss of 2. barrier, i.e. BOP/DHSV. Loss of stability resulting in overturn of unit, capsizing, or toppling of unit. Accidental contact between offshore unit and/or passing marine vessel when at least one of them is propelled or is under tow. Examples: tanker, cargo ship, fishing vessel. Also included are collisions with bridges, quays, etc., and vessels engaged in the oil and gas activity on other platforms than the platform affected, and between two offshore installations (to be coded as Contact only when intended for close location). Collisions/accidental contacts between vessels engaged in the oil and gas activity on the platform affected, e.g. support/supply/stand-by vessels, tugs or helicopters, and offshore installations (floating or fixed). Also are included collisions between two offshore installations only when these are intended for close location. Any event caused by or involving cranes, derrick and draw-works, or any other lifting equipment. Explosion Falling load/dropped objects from crane, drill derrick, or any other lifting equipment or platform. Crane fall and lifeboats accidentally to sea and man overboard are also included. Fire. Loss of buoyancy or unit sinking. Floating installation in contact with the sea bottom. Accident with helicopter either on helideck or in contact with the installation. Leakage of water into the unit or filling of shaft or other compartments causing potential loss of buoyancy or stability problems. Uncontrolled inclination of unit. Propulsion or thruster machinery failure (incl. control) Unit unintentionally out of its expected position or drifting out of control. Loss of containment. Release of fluid or gas to the surroundings from unit's own equipment/vessels/tanks causing (potential) pollution and/or risk of explosion and/or fire. Breakage or fatigue failures (mostly failures caused by weather, but not necessarily) of structural support and direct structural failures. "Punch through" also included. Towline failure or breakage Accidental problem with the well, i.e. loss of one barrier (hydrostatic head) or

*) Codes for Chain of events (CH1-CH5) used in the associated spreadsheet. The categorisation of the incidents has been performed according to principles outlined below. Events coded as Falling load involve loads and objects either rolling, leaning, tilting, falling, rotating, swinging, or sliding. Man over board is also included here. Occupational Hazard (OH) incidents, with personal injuries or not, are defined to be events which are not related to operations of equipment and events caused by obvious human errors during maintenance. Such events have only been counted, but are excluded from these statistics. Anchor handling involving Anchor Handling Vessels (AHVs) which causes personal injuries to personnel being involved are coded as Anchor failure (and not OH). Maloperation of lifting equipment or technical failure leading to falling load is coded as Crane failure + Falling load. Problems with riser tensioners are coded as Crane failure Events involving equipment or part of equipment bursting or blowing out, are coded as Spill/Release Events involving problems with gangways/bridges between floating unit and other floating or fixed units, are coded as Out of position + Falling load. Incidents that occur during maintenance indicates lack of design have been coded accordingly (crane failure, falling load, anchor failure, etc.)

8 ACCIDENT STATISTICS FIXED UNITS 8.1 Introduction

The information being available for each incident has been reviewed and the chain of events has been obtained. The classification of events has been done according to the WOAD concept. One accident may comprise a chain of consecutive events (accident outcomes or occurrences), e.g. a blowout resulting in explosion, fire and oil spill. This means that one single accident or incident may give rise to several occurrences. The total number of occurrences will thus be much higher than the total number of accidents recorded. When giving frequencies per type of event, this is presented as number of occurrences per unit per year. However, when presenting frequencies irrespective of type of event, the figures are given as number of accidents per unit per year. By combining and merging the results from the interrogation of four databases, COIN/ORION, MAIB, WOAD and BLOWOUT, the accident and occurrence frequencies for both fixed and floating units in the UKCS in the period 1990-2007 are estimated. In the following tables the accident (or occurrence) frequencies, i.e. number of accidents (or occurrences) per unit year, are given per type of installation, event (only occurrences) and the periods 1990-1999, 2000-2007, and 1990-2007. N denotes number of accidents (or occurrences) and F denotes average annual frequency per unit in the specific time period, i.e. number of accidents (or occurrences) per unit and year. The source All databases combined refers to the database obtained by pooling the four mentioned databases COIN/ORION, BLOWOUT, WOAD and MAIB and removing the overlapping records. Note: More detailed statistics are given in appendix A where the number of accidents/occurrences and corresponding frequencies is given by type of unit and year in the period 1990-2007. Note that - is applied where no accidents/occurrences have been recorded (and hence no frequencies calculated) or if the given event is not applicable/relevant for the given type of units. The results, after having interrogated the databases and removed overlapping records are also detailed in the associated Excel spreadsheets. The spreadsheets, together with this report, may be downloaded by accessing the websites of Oil & Gas UK and HSE, http://www.oilandgasuk.co.uk/ and www.hse.gov.uk. Within the spreadsheets, in addition to other fields each of the incidents is described in free text.

9 CONCLUSIONS
The main source for accident and incident information available to the UKCS offshore industry should be this report and the two associated Excel spreadsheets (databases), since they together contain comprehensive UKCS data from the most relevant accident databases. These databases are understood to be the only UKCS accident and incident databases which are both publicly and freely available to the offshore industry and others. They have been created in the WOAD format, with which the offshore industry is familiar and it is regularly updated with accident and incident information from relevant international databases. In addition the format of the spreadsheets, which contain a free text description of each incident, allows a sort capability to be utilised thus enabling specific data to be extracted from the databases as and when required. The results from this study will serve as a reference document for data to be used in future Risk Assessments of offshore units, be a valuable reference document for Oil & Gas UK and furthermore for UK Health & Safety Executive Offshore Division (HSE-OSD) when reviewing Safety Cases. To fulfil the objectives set out for this project, relevant UK and Norwegian databases were interrogated with respect to both population and accident data forming a complete data basis for obtaining comprehensive accident statistics for the listed type of units, geographical area and time period. The result after having interrogated the identified databases and removing overlapping records shows a total of 6269 and 3436 events comprising accidents, hazardous situations and near-misses on fixed and floating units respectively on the UKCS in the period 19902007 The corresponding figures for the period 1980-2007 are 7312 and 4112.

APPENDIX
A DETAILED STATISTICS FIXED UNITS
Issue 1 April 2009
A-1
A. 1 Introduction The information being available for each incident has been reviewed and the chain of events has been obtained. The classification of events has been done according to the WOAD concept. One accident may comprise a chain of consecutive events (accident outcomes or occurrences), e.g. a blowout resulting in explosion, fire and oil spill. This means that one single accident or incident may give rise to several occurrences. The total number of occurrences will thus be much higher than the total number of accidents recorded. When giving frequencies per type of event, this is presented as number of occurrences per unit per year. However, when presenting frequencies irrespective of type of event, the figures are given as number of accidents per unit per year A. 2 Accident statistics By combining and merging the results from the interrogation of all 3 databases, the occurrence frequencies for fixed units in the UKCS in the period 1990-2007 are estimated. All tables in this appendix present the number of accidents and occurrences with corresponding frequencies per type of unit and event for each year in the period 19902007, and average for the periods 1990-1999, 2000-2007 and 1990-2007. N denotes number of accidents/occurrences and F denotes average annual frequency per unit, i.e. number of accidents/occurrences per unit year. Note that - is applied where no accidents/occurrences have been recorded (and hence no frequencies calculated) or if the given event is not applicable/relevant for the given type of units. The source All databases combined refers to the database obtained by pooling the databases ORION, BLOWOUT and WOAD and removing the overlapping records. A.2. 1 Accident frequencies All fixed units In this section the accident frequencies for fixed units in the UKCS in the period 19902007 are presented. The following tables give the number of accidents (N) and corresponding frequencies (F) per type of unit.

APPENDIX
B DETAILED STATISTICS FLOATING UNITS
Issue 1 April 2009
B-1
B. 1 Introduction The information being available for each incident has been reviewed and the chain of events has been obtained. The classification of events has been done according to the WOAD concept. One accident may comprise a chain of consecutive events (accident outcomes or occurrences), e.g. a blowout resulting in explosion, fire and oil spill. This means that one single accident or incident may give rise to several occurrences. The total number of occurrences will thus be much higher than the total number of accidents recorded. When giving frequencies per type of event, this is presented as number of occurrences per unit per year. B. 2 Accident statistics By combining and merging the results from the interrogation of all 4 databases, the occurrence frequencies for floating units in the UKCS in the period 1990-2007 are estimated. All tables in this appendix present the number of accidents and occurrences with corresponding frequencies per type of unit and event for each year in the period 19902007, and average for the periods 1990-1999, 2000-2007 and 1990-2007. N denotes number of occurrences and F denotes average annual frequency per unit, i.e. number of occurrences per unit year. Since no exposure data are readily available for floating accommodation units (comprising both the jackup and semi-submersible types), only the number of occurrences are given (i.e. no frequencies). Note that - is applied where no accidents/occurrences have been recorded (and hence no frequencies calculated) or if the given event is not applicable/relevant for the given type of unit. The source All databases combined refers to the database obtained by pooling the databases ORION, MAIB, BLOWOUT and WOAD and removing the overlapping records. B.2. 1 Occurrence frequencies - Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODUs) In the following tables the number of occurrences (N) and corresponding frequencies (F) for mobile drilling units are given per type of unit and year.
