The complete paper presents the emergency-response system implemented on the operator’s Hail and Ghasha (H&G) project during the execution phase. It integrates digital personnel-on-board (POB) accounts, real-time marine activity, and electronic tracking for personnel working in an ultrasour offshore environment. In combination with adequate training for the parties involved in drilling and facilities construction simultaneous operations (SIMOPS), these components are crucial for the safety of personnel when a short response time is essential.
Introduction
The H&G megaproject is a development in the Abu Dhabi offshore area within the Marawah Marine Biosphere Reserve. Artificial islands have been constructed to serve as drilling centers and to install the facilities required for the stabilization and transport of the ultrasour production of the G&H fields to onshore facilities for further processing.
