Authors: d'Engelbronner-Kolff Marina , Rodriguez-Marcano Shiron , Khuu Kathy , Bowrin Leslie 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
Creating sustainable, shared value with local communities and countries, is an important component in the way the Shell Group conducts its business. Shell continually develops initiatives to achieve its ambitions to be both a partner of choice for authorities as well as a good neighbor for local communities. This paper presents Shell's local content approach, demonstrating how Shell Trinidad and Tobago Limited (STTL) creates value not only for its global business, but also to the socio-economic development of the country. It does so through early engagement and planning which increases opportunities for employees, local companies, local communities and the society. Our approach is based on a long-term perspective and delivery in close partnership with industry, government, and other local stakeholders, such as educational institutions and civil society organisations.
STTL has been an important corporate citizen in Trinidad and Tobago, creating value for the country for over 100 years not only by providing energy and energy related products but also through employment, procurement and capacity development. Targeting both demand and supply, STTL defines and implements local content interventions that extend beyond the oil and gas supply chain alone. Strategic skills development and education focused on innovation, employability and transferrable skills support local capacity and vendor development.
A key success factor is believed to be a true ‘co-creation’ approach of what ‘good local content looks like’ for Trinidad & Tobago utilizing strong stakeholder engagement and working with other International Oil Companies (IOCs), Energy Consortiums, educational institutions, civil society organisations and the Government to co-deliver on local content.
Mitigating the Emerging Measles Risk in Oil and Gas Workplaces

Published: March 2020

Abstract
Measles is a highly contagious disease with a 90% infectivity rate in susceptible individuals and a substantial risk for outbreaks. Immunization has dramatically reduced measles incidence, but during the first quarter of 2019, the World Health Organization reported a 300% global case increase compared to 2018. To effectively protect global companies with highly mobile workforces and congregate settings, it is pertinent to establish a comprehensive fit-for-purpose measles workplace prevention, preparedness and response plan.
Immunization is the most effective preventive measure against measles and the control of related outbreak risks. Its integration into a company's safety and health systems and procedures is essential for a successful implementation that targets the most at-risk individuals and operations. Beyond the prevention that applies personal, environmental and policy aspects to travelers and/or workers operating in congregate settings, early-case identification and disease management (including vaccination) are essential to effectively control measles in most at-risk work sites. The results section describes the program components adopted for such measures and their results.
Our program approach has resulted in mitigating measles outbreaks in congregate settings with no reported operational disruption in our workplaces.
The approach includes these elements: Global disease surveillance through various scientific sources for community outbreaks and occupational health and safety networks for workers.Awareness and education tailored to targeted audiences, with scaled intensity based on risk levels and case notifications with their locations.Prevention with vaccination for travelers, expatriates and rotators through internal or external travel health services; recommended vaccines for the general population of workers and dependents through their benefit plans; and guidance to not come to work when sick with a fever, combined with other general safe health practices.
Preparedness and response with infectious disease outbreak management indicating what to do before, during and after any type of outbreak, with pre-positioning of defined supplies.
Please explain how this paper will present novel (new) or additive information to the existing body of literature that can be of benefit to a participating engineer (25 – 75 words):
Considering the reemergence of measles and other vaccine-preventable diseases with their associated risks, it is essential to develop fit-for-risk measures to mitigate their impact on the health and safety of oil and gas workers and the operational continuity of the companies where they work. The integration of these measures into health and safety processes across organizations and levels – with effective senior executive engagement – facilitates the readiness and adoption of evidence-based practices with positive outcomes.
Development of a Wellness Dashboard
Authors: Amato Ryan , Davis-Street Janis , Grimsley Michael , Morehouse Robin 
Published: March 2020

Abstract

Objectives/Scope
Capturing and reporting employee health data in a manner that accurately portrays overall workforce health, provides business opportunities for improvement and motivates both individuals and business units to take action in a global corporation. This paper details an approach for developing customizable business unit wellness dashboards that provide timely and relevant information that facilitates decision making, action and/or behavior change related to employee health.

Methods, Procedures, Process
This new approach involves aggregating multiple data sources into a common repository and creating multiple views of this data for health analytics. Dashboard templates have been created that require minimal expertise to generate comprehensive wellness reports. Additionally, any data category can be visualized based on the local business unit's preference and priorities to maximize wellness engagement. Communication campaigns share importance and relevance of the wellness dashboard to an additional audience by customizing views at the local level to ensure highest engagement. Initial dashboards will include user satisfaction and engagement numbers.

Results, Observations, Conclusions
Combining established software tools and applications can aid in data visualization and analysis creating e-opportunities to display and discuss meaningful and useful health data across the organization in many ways. Different audiences not only create different data, but the dialogue surrounding their specific data set creates an environment for culture change. Influential factors include level of wellness program maturity, staff load capacity, competing priorities and fundamental leadership support at the local level will affect usage levels and satisfaction. Customizing meaningful data for specific audiences can increase understanding of data specifically related to programs, initiatives, awareness/prevalence and educate target audiences to why data is important and the opportunities to positively influence health-related issues. This understanding will provide an impetus to 'act' on the data to drive individual health behaviors or allow leaders to support their employees and company offered programs.

Novel (new) or additive information
This dashboard provides the ability to take standardized data at a high level and view it through a local business unit lens. This allows enhanced connections to local priorities and can drive program development in needed areas, employee participation and improved employee health.
Human Factors and Performance: Reducing Errors and Improving Safety
Authors: Khan Salman , Boyd Leah , Velez Ferdinand 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
Companies employ a variety of tactics to reduce workplace incidents. However, behavioral-based programs have proven highly effective because safety becomes a collective responsibility shared by all employees. This paper will focus on one such program, called Human Performance (HuP). Key facets of the program include safety training, raising awareness of employees’ susceptibility to human error, and informing them how to design management systems as well as to promote behaviors to prevent safety incidents.
People bring to their job their own personal mix of skills, knowledge, experience, attitudes, motivation, habits, and personality. These individual characteristics influence behavior in complex and significant ways. Through training, employees can recognize where errors occur and use the proper tools to change their habits to reduce injuries or quality errors. Practices such as Stop Work authority - regardless of an individual's title, Safety Walk & Talks, daily toolboxes, and rapid risk assessment are tools that can prevent these errors from occurring.
The novelty of this approach is to empower workers to contribute equally to their own safety and operational excellence, rather than relying on written policies and discipline. The efforts focus on safety within and outside the company.

Published: March 2020

Abstract
To mitigate climate change, the execution of large-scale projects is necessary. The 20-year projected scenarios show that all actions that are technically viable are required, including some that have to be executed with significant financial assistance from the Government.
Global warming generated by the increase in Greenhouse Gases (GHG) is one of the most serious environmental, social and economic threats currently facing the planet, therefore it is essential that each individual, organization or country, is involved in a broader conversation about the importance of planning and taking a strategic approach to combat it. This research, accompanied by analytical work, allowed documenting one of the possibilities of capturing GHG, which could be synergized with an important project such as the development of Colombia's source rock hydrocarbon resources. An economically viable option that can continue its planing stage and be included in the technical options that can be adopted in the future, not only because of the reduction in emissions that it generates, at the same time, the promise of interesting value it can generate a great impact.
Pipe Land Transportation Through South America Andes/Cordillera: Company Bolivie, Incahuasi Project Phase 1
Authors: Martinez Gregory 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
The Company project, located in Bolivia, was implemented in 2014.
The project is a green field development of three wells connected to a Central Processing Facility, including export pipelines and flowlines (gas & condensate). During the construction phase, the Project had to transfer 8883 pipes for gas export lines and flow lines that represented a total weight of more than 30 000 Tons from Chile to Bolivia.
The World Health Organisation's Global Status Report on Road Safety (2013) explained that Bolivia had a road traffic death rate of 19 per 100 000 population (France= 6).The hazard due to Road transportation was identified at early stage of the project sanction and was classified as Major Operational Risk. The challenge was to ensure a high safety level along the 1478 km transportation route. The Cordillera Occidental geographical context and environmental conditions create one of the most dangerous roads in the world.
The objective defined by the Project Management Team was to achieve zero accidents in pipe transport. Project team reinforced contractual HSE aspects with strong requirements and expectations in transportation management (Not only for the Contractor but also for their subcontractors and suppliers). A Road Safety specialist was contracted to join the Project HSE Team in order to prepare, assist and monitor the land transportation of pipes by road jointly with the Contractor.
Key documents prepared and approved with the contractors were the HSE Plan and Transportation & Lifting Plan. Within these documents, specific elements of focus included (but not limited to): –Journey Management–Transportation and offloading pipe Analysis–Road Traffic study–Route Risk Analysis–Control/Checking points before critical routes–Vehicles inspection and approval by 3rd Party–Monitoring and tracking of vehicles IVMS (In Vehicle Monitoring System)–3rd party training of all drivers (244).
The INCAHUASI Project successfully reached the HSE target for LLI pipes supply:
Zero accidents during 67 weekly trips covering a distance of 4 million kilometers over the 5-month campaign. This is due to rigorous compliance and good co-operation of the workforce, Leadership & Commitment of Management from the Company and above all, its Partners.
Removal of Residual Oil from Produced Water Using Magnetic Nanoparticless

Published: March 2020

Abstract
Due to environmental requirements, produced water needs treatment prior to disposal or reuse. In recent years, the most successful solutions to treat produced water involve special attention to efficiency, cost, and environmentally safe treatment methods. Recent studies have shown encouraging results using amine-coated magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles to remove residual oil from produced water using a magnetic field. However, the manufacturing of magnetite nanoparticles requires an expensive coating operation, which limits the application of this technology in large-scale treatment operations. The goal of this study is to develop a simple, efficient, and economically feasible method for removing oil from produced water using nanoparticles. Iron oxide nanoparticles are biocompatible and even safely used in medical applications. This study focuses on the removal of residual oil from produced water using uncoated, recyclable and less expensive maghemite (g-Fe2O3) nanoparticles. These particles have been shown the potential for removing oil layers from the surface of water. However, they have not been tested for their capability of removing emulsified and dissolved oil from produced water.
In this study, commercial and synthesized maghemite nanoparticles were utilized. The maghemite nanoparticles were synthesized using the co-precipitation process. Lab-synthesized produced water samples with high oil concentration (1000 ppm) were prepared by mixing medium oil with brine (1180 ppm NaCl solution). The nanoparticles were dispersed in 3% by weight NaCl solution (3% NaCl brine) at varying concentrations (0.31 – 5 mg/mL) to form different nanosuspensions. Subsequently, the nanosuspensions were mixed with synthesized produced water for 10 min. When a magnetic field was applied to the mixture, a clear separation of the nanoparticles was observed within seconds. Residual oil in the samples was measured using non-dispersive infrared spectroscopy.
Oil content analysis confirmed the successful removal of oil from the water samples. The oil content of the samples was reduced from 1000 to less than 10 ppm. For the real produced water samples, results showed a reduction of oil content to an undetectable level (i.e. less than 0.1 ppm). The ease of nanoparticle collection and washing after subsequent water treatments further demonstrates the feasibility of magnetic nanoparticle-based separations for large-scale use in produced water treatment operations. The unique finding of this study is the elimination of one additional step of synthesizing (amine coating) magnetic nanoparticles. Direct use of uncoated maghemite nanoparticles with high oil removal efficiency can reduce produced water treatment cost and promote this technology as an economically feasible option within the industry.

Published: March 2020

Abstract
The Pluspetrol Camisea Biodiversity Monitoring Program (BMP) has been collecting data on the distribution and status of species of flora and fauna and provisioning ecosystem services within the 247,000 ha upstream area of influence since 2005. In order to synthesize, integrate and map a complex, long-term data set on species and provisioning ecosystem services (fishing, hunting and gathering by local communities) the BMP utilized Saaty’s analytical hierarchical process (AHP) to categorize sensitivity of stream basins within the Project Area of Influence. The BMP conducted a critical habitat analysis based on International Finance Corporation (IFC) Performance Standard 6 (PS6) using long-term monitoring data to inform the CHA, prioritize and map sensitive biodiversity values according to stream basin and landscape unit type. In addition, the BMP synthesized social data on provisioning ecosystem services based on data collected during household interviews, participatory resource mapping, and field data on bush meat biomass. Using AHP allowed the BMP to obtain an integrated biological and social database that facilitates mapping sensitive habitats at a relatively small-scale (stream basins). Pluspetrol utilizes the database and maps to inform their biodiversity management and residual impact reduction strategy. The combination of biological and social data with AHP is a useful tool for both Project management and sustainable land-use planning.

Published: March 2020

Abstract
At Halliburton, safety is a fundamental value. The company remains focused on the safety of each employee, co-worker, and contractor during its products and services delivery. In order to assure and demonstrate this commitment, and safety leadership, while responding to customer challenges in relation to field Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) performance, the Halliburton Latin America Team formulated the Safe Behavior School (SBS). The primary objective of the SBS is to enhance risk perception and leadership skills in HSE. This is achieved by bridging theoretical risk management methodologies and practical approaches that effect awareness on incident prevention. Competent instructors, recognized as role models in the HSE/SQ (Service Quality) organization and operational service lines, conduct the SBS over two comprehensive days.
Parallel to other major players in the industry, robust standards, procedures, and guidelines exist, yet incidents continue to occur. The solution lies within operational discipline, or safe behavior. The SBS magnifies the organizational safety culture to further strengthen current HSE performance. Consequently, larger percentages of employees return home daily, in good health, unharmed, and we have less negative impact on the environments in which we operate. This also reaches into the way we perform work for customers, maximizing efficiencies in the field. The more safely we operate, the more efficient our business is.
Methodological Alternative to Oceanographic Cruises for the Characterization of the Nekton in the Colombian Caribbean
Authors: Pinilla Francisco , Carrasco Aldo , López Erika , Salazar Hernan 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
The objective of this paper is to develop a new methodological approach to evaluate and understand the variations in richness, abundance, geographical and bathymetric distribution of nektonic resources in the Colombian Caribbean. The methodology generates a constant recording and monitoring of biodiversity and abundance in both space and time, through audio-visual and geo-positioning tools resulting in a robust set of information with regards to nektonic behavior. Recording and monitoring of nekton are developed through artisanal fishing remote monitoring and fishing landings assessment, which in turn allows to evaluate the richness of the species with respect to its temporality, geographical location, and bathymetric zone. The experimental phase was carried out during a calendar year between 2016 and 2017, taking place in the most representative coastal towns of the departments of Bolívar, Atlántico, and Magdalena in Colombia. With respect to the Fishing grounds distance to the coast, areas of greater concentration of fishing resources were located between 0 to 10 nautical miles from the coast. The species richness compared to the bathymetry, showed a greater concentration of resources in the stratum ranging from zero to 50 m. In order to verify the accuracy of the information, a quality control system was implemented for the fishery landings assessment reducing the uncertainty and achieving 98% effectiveness in the calculations of richness and landings. The identified fishing zones maintained a correlation with the quality control data on board. The audiovisual and geo-positioning tools allowed validation of the locations reported by fishermen, and further helped establishing artisanal fishing zones at distances less than 12 nautical miles from the coast, as established in the Colombian fisheries regulation.

Published: March 2020

Abstract
The combination of local communities and industrial risk scenarios is always a big challenge. Nevertheless, in 2017 two oil & gas companies gathered to develop Mar Atento, a pilot project with focus in the engagement and training of fishermen to act in an eventual oil spill response at sea, aiming the safety and protection of marine and coastal environments, and also, register vessel of opportunities (vessels not related to O&G activities which could provide support in case of an oil spill). The objective was achieved, with fishermen and vessels trained and able to act in oil spill response. As a result of the Mar Atento Project, the companies became more prepared to respond to an incident once they have registered vessels and fishermen that can act and optimize the response in their area of influence. The objective of this paper is to share challenges, positive results and next steps of this innovative Brazilian Project.
