1.0 Plan Overview

How To Use This Plan

All duty and field personnel should be familiar with this typhoon plan. This plan is a

Chevron Thailand Exploration and Production (CTEP) specific contingency plan that is aligned and supplements the CTEP Emergency Response Plan (ERP).

Section 1 provides the scope of the plan along with the principles and criteria to be used during the evacuation and remobilization phases. Section 1 also includes a summary of the

key roles and responsibilities of the response organizations and definitions of typhoon-related

terms used in the plan. Users should have a good understanding of these.

Section 2 provides detailed actions and procedures required to manage evacuations effectively

and efficiently. This is the main section and must be used for guidance during the actual

typhoon evacuation and remobilization phases.

Section 5 (Appendices) provides Checklists and relevant Forms for all AEMT / IEMT / ORT

members to use for managing a typhoon evacuation and remobilization. It is recommended that all duty persons print out the specific checklists related to their roles and keep in their

personal emergency information pack / battle book ready for use.

General Information About Typhoon

For the Gulf of Thailand (GOT), the “Typhoon Season” normally occurs during the October-

December timeframe. Typhoons are unpredictable but, in general, typhoons originate and move into the GOT from the east (Pacific Ocean and South China Sea) then move in a

westerly direction across the gulf. However, there is always the threat of storms

developing or re-developing locally within the GOT. Historical data (Typhoon Gay, 1989 & Angela, 1992) indicates that these locally developed storms expand explosively within 12

to 16 hours. When this is the situation or predicted, an immediate decision must be made to

evacuate required field personnel, offshore mobile units and marine vessels to a safe haven

before the sea or wind conditions make it unsafe to do so.

Because of the weather-sensitive nature of the Chevron GOT operations, especially the risk of

typhoons, Chevron Thailand utilizes a professional contract Weather Services to provide integrated meteorological support. This support includes daily site-specific forecasts from the

MET Contractor’s Forecast Center during the typhoon season which are valid for 72-hours

and are issued twice daily at approximately. 0600 and 1800 hours Thailand time. The frequency of forecasts are increased depending on the weather concern and evacuation plan

status. The forecasts will include a summary of the meteorological situation, including details

of expected wind and wave conditions and warnings (squall, gale, high swell, etc.) for the

duration of the forecast.

Forecasts will also include a "Tropical Advisory" section, with details of any Tropical

Disturbance or Tropical Cyclone Concern in the central or southern South China Sea region. More specific details and recommendations will be included if the weather system has the

potential to trigger a Chevron Thailand Typhoon Alert Phase.


In general, the Chevron Thailand Four (4) Phase System is shown on the Typhoon Tracking Map. The phase progression assumes that the weather systems will move through each trigger

point for each phase thus allowing action to be taken in a progressive manner. However, since

no two storms are ever identical, this scenario does not always occur. Therefore, if a local

weather condition develops quickly within the GOT, the AEMT Incident Commander, with consultation from AEMT staff and facility managers, may declare a Phase 4 Alert

immediately

Early awareness and diligent monitoring of weather developments and communications are

fundamental to the effectiveness of the plan; this includes the proactive communications from

the MET Contractor’s Forecast Center, and diligent monitoring of local weather conditions by the on-site meteorologist at Satun LQ during typhoon season and timely implementation of

the actions for the each phase.

1.1 Purpose and Objectives

The purpose of the Typhoon Evacuation Plan is to ensure the safety of all Employee and

Contractor Personnel during abnormal weather situations requiring the evacuation of personnel.

The objectives of this plan are to ensure that proper consideration is given to all abnormal

weather situations and to provide guidance for the planning and orderly evacuation and remobilization of offshore personnel when considered necessary.

The overall goal is to establish common procedures and understanding for good communications between Offshore Facility Managers, the Incident Command Center,

Shorebase Facilities, Air Centers, other Administration Support personnel who will be

coordinating and assisting with the evacuation and remobilization of offshore personnel.

Execution of this plan must be consistent with the Chevron Way and the Over-Response

philosophy which is fundamental to effective emergency management.

1.2 Scope

This typhoon evacuation plan provides roles and responsibilities, procedural guides, checklists, along with reference information related to the weather watch and response actions

required for abnormal weather situations. Although the plan is primarily applicable to

typhoon evacuation and remobilization, it can also be utilized as guidance for any situations requiring evacuation and remobilization of a large number of personnel from Chevron’s Gulf

of Thailand Operations.

The plan and procedures are built around the following principles and criteria:

1. Priority must be for the early return of personnel from remote well platforms, or if

appropriate canceling planned work on remote well platforms.



2. Experience has shown that the floating mobile offshore units (tender rigs,

accommodation barges) are at the greatest risk during storm / typhoon conditions; both for their personnel and the potential to cause collision damage to fixed facilities.

Thus, if the situation dictates, these mobile units must be towed or moved out of the

field(s) by anchor handling vessels to safe areas. The plan is based on towing tenders

and accommodation barges with personnel remaining on board. This is considered the safest response since the mobile offshore units are seagoing vessels inspected and

classified by Marine Classification Societies and have a qualified Marine Master

(Captain) /OIM always on board to ensure marine safety while towing.

3. Jack-up drilling units are considered as fixed offshore facilities and priority must be

given to their E-compliment personnel to be evacuated to safety onshore.

4. In all cases, the masters (captains) of marine vessels are the final authorities for the

safety of their vessels and personnel on board.

5. Any evacuation to shore must be based on decisions by the Bangkok Incident

Commander (in consultation with the AEMT staff, evacuation coordinators at the

Shorebases along with the offshore facility managers). This will be a case-by-case decision based on the perceived threat at the time. There is no absolute requirement

when to begin evacuation activities or recommended actions stipulated; however,

required actions can be accelerated but never delayed for each phase. The Bangkok Incident Commander may change aspects of the procedure to ensure a more

conservative and safer response. No formal MOC Procedure is required for this case-

by-case change, however, prudent risk management principles shall be used.

6. Based on logistical constraints, evacuation and remobilization of offshore first to-

leave personnel (E-Compliment) to / from shore is planned via marine vessels, except

for the personnel designated to remain on board (R-Compliment) until a final stage when full evacuation is declared. R- Compliment personnel will be evacuated by

helicopters. Helicopters will be utilized to remobilize critical personnel required for

each facility. The remobilization priority of personnel and transport methods must be

based on the priority needs established by the Superintendents in conjunction with the OIM's/DSM's/CAR's, to resume critical operations and services.

Concurrently, and subsequently, crew boats will be utilized to remobilize remaining evacuated personnel to each facility to support the return of operations and services to

normal. Exceptions to this guide can be made subject to proper justification and

approval by the Superintendent or the Incident Commander.

7. Chevron Offshore Installation Managers (OIM), Drill Site Managers (DSM) and

Company Authorized Representatives (CAR) on contracted offshore installations are

responsible for developing and implementing the evacuation plan and procedures in coordination with the Bangkok Incident Command and staff as well as personnel at

Shorebases and air centers consistent with the weather conditions and activities at the

time.


8. The procedures during the four defined phases (Phase 1, 2, 3 and 4) of this plan are meant to be the minimum actions. Additional facility-specific actions may be required

depending on the type of offshore facility and nature of the work activities. Each

offshore facility must establish and/or update its facility-specific Typhoon

Evacuation Plan annually prior to October consistent with their planned activities during each typhoon season. Facility-specific plans shall be attached as

Appendix 4 to this common plan. Facility-specific plans should not duplicate

activities or procedures common to all facilities in this plan.

1.3 Affects

This evacuation plan establishes a common weather contingency plan which is applicable to

all Chevron Thailand’s operated offshore facilities and operations, all offshore employees and

contractors along with Shorebases facilities and personnel under the management or control

of Chevron Thailand.

For Chevron Thailand’s non-operated facilities and operations, the responsible departments

must require their contractors to provide a typhoon evacuation plan which is self-supporting for its facility e.g. jack-up rig, tender rigs, accommodation barges, floaters, derrick/lay barges,

marine spreads, etc. which should align with the Chevron Thailand Typhoon Evacuation Plan.

Communication between the Contractor’s PIC and the Chevron CAR is always essential to

ensure that there is a clear understanding regarding response actions during emergencies and abnormal weather conditions.

E-1 = First Group To Evacuate E-2 = Second Group To Evacuate

E-3 = Third Group To Evacuate

E-4 = Fourth Group To Evacuate E-# = Next In Sequence To Evacuate

Personnel are scheduled to be evacuated in sequence.

This is normally a OIM/DSM + Radio Operator cooperative activity as follows:

1. Access the POB System and select your location, set first search to “Company” and Asc. Set the second search to “First Name” Asc. Set then click “run Query”.

This will give you the POB on board in company alphabetical order and the

persons for each company in first name alphabetical order.



2. Then determine which personnel of each company will be evacuated on the first

boat. (Always try to evacuate all personnel of one company group together.) 3. The number of persons selected must be based on the PAX capacity of the

assigned boat.

4. For each person assigned to the first boat add the number 1 to their “E” in the

Evac. Column designated so “E1” shows. 5. Then print a manifest for the first boat for all PAX with an “E1” designation.

6. Follow the same procedure for the next boat with an “E2” for the Assigned 2nd

boat PAX and the next boat in an “E#” number sequence until all “e” Complement Personnel have been assigned and placed on a boat manifest.

7. This should leave only the “R” Complement Personnel at your location.

Trigger Point

A term used to designate when a specific action is to begin. The center position of a Tropical

Cyclone (TC) will be the TC position reference. The primary trigger point to begin evacuation

actions is at Phase 2 when the storm center is at the Typhoon Tracking Map’s 550 nm ring or when the typhoon track assessment calculation requires a time-based trigger point sooner.

(Required action at trigger points can be accelerated but never delayed.)

Tropical Storm Terms

A tropical cyclone is a low-pressure weather system in which the central core is warmer than the surrounding atmosphere. “Tropical Cyclone” is a generic term for low-pressure systems

with a defined wind circulation, born over tropical, or sometimes subtropical, waters.

Tropical depressions, tropical storms, hurricane, and typhoons are all tropical cyclones.

A typhoon’s life cycle passes through four distinct stages, tropical disturbance, tropical

depression, tropical storm and finally a typhoon. All are classified as tropical cyclones.

Tropical Disturbance (1st Stage)

Often is the earliest stage of a tropical cyclone. Normally it is an organized area of

thunderstorms that forms in the tropics and persists for more than 24 hours. Low pressure might form at the surface, but winds remain below 30 mph.

Tropical Depression (2nd

Stage)

When a tropical disturbance develops circulation (rotation around a center of low pressure), it

is designated a tropical depression. Tropical depressions contain maximum sustained 1-minute winds near the surface of 33 knots or less.

Tropical Storm (3rd

Stage)

A tropical cyclone is given a name once it reaches tropical storm status. Tropical storms

contain maximum sustained 1-minute winds at 34 to 63 knots.

Typhoon (4th

Stage)

A Typhoon designation is used when a circulating storm has sustained 1-minute winds at the

10-meter elevation of equal to or greater than 64 knots. However, winds in most typhoons

can become much stronger.

Typhoons are categorized on a scale of 1 to 5 based on their wind speed, barometric pressure,

and resultant destructive potential.

Typhoons, or their equivalents, occur in other parts of the world. In the North Atlantic Ocean,

The Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, they are known as hurricanes.



2.0 Procedures

2.1 Pre-Typhoon Season Preparations

The following must be done each year prior to the typhoon season, before October 1st

The following must be done each year prior to the typhoon season, within the time frame

stipulated.

1. On July 1st and again on August 1st, the CTEP PC EM Process Advisor shall send an

e-mail with the text of Section 2.1 of the Typhoon Plan as a reminder to the

responsible person for each as stipulated in Section 2.1. (Action by PC EM Process

Advisor)

2. Ensure a professional meteorologist is / will serve onboard Satun LQ to assist and

advise the Marine Controller at Satun LQ for the months from October 1 until the end of the typhoon season as determined by the position of the inter-tropical convergence

zone (Action by: Geomatics group)

3. Ensure that during September all the weather monitoring systems are checked and

calibrated, including but not limited to the wind speed and direction, barometric

instruments, etc. to ensure accurate and consistent data can be sent to the Weather

Services for assessment and forecasting during a weather concern or emergency.

As part of this effort provide educational materials and a weather briefing to onshore

and offshore personnel with a need to know about typhoons and how the weather forecasts are provided to ensure effective Typhoon Evacuation Planning and

execution. (Action by: Geomatics group)

4. In July, Asset, D&C, and FE Superintendents along with the Marine Manager must review with the Manager of Logistics to assess the total evacuation capacity of

helicopters and vessels and if necessary contract for additional capacity for the

typhoon season (Action by: SCM group).

As part of Item 4, coordinate and review required Marine support and evacuation

capacity for accommodation barges and other floating units with SCM (Action by: Marine Operations.)

5. Assess the needs and contract for additional anchor handling vessels with a minimum

bollard pull of 65 tons to be put on hire as standby boats for tender rigs and accommodation barges from October 1 until the end of the typhoon season as

determined by the position of the inter-tropical convergence zone. The assessment

shall include and ensure that there are sufficient vessels for towing as well as pulling anchors timely. In addition, the assessment shall include the vessel support needed

for survey operations and returning tender rigs to resume drilling. (Action by: SCM

Group)

6. During August ensure that Marine Logistics is provided with information regarding

Geomatic’s vessel support needs for returning tender rigs and other anchored vessels

to location after the typhoon evacuation, this should be based on the current spread of floating and anchored units. (Action by: Geomatics)


7. During September, each Offshore Facility, Rig, Accommodation Barge, etc. must establish or update their Facility Specific Typhoon Action Plan as necessary. (Action

by: Superintendents / OIMs / DSM’s / CARs / Marine Manager)

8. During September all OIM’s / DSM’s / CAR’s and onshore Managers to conduct a typhoon briefing as necessary to ensure that all personnel are aware of the Typhoon

Plan and their responsibilities as related to typhoon evacuation and remobilization.

Responsible persons should refer to their Typhoon Plan specific checklist and ensure

any necessary pre-season requirements or actions are implemented before October.

(See Appendix 1 for checklists and Appendix 2 for forms.) (Action by: BIC / OP’s Chiefs / OIM’s / DSM’ s /CAR’s / Shorebase Managers)

9. During September, the CTEP PC EM Process Advisor is to arrange and conduct an

exercise to test the call out system and the Bangkok Incident Command Room and the Family Information Center facilities. (Action by: PC EM Process Advisor)

10. During September the CTEP PC EM Process Sponsor shall establish a call out list of off duty OIM’s that will serve as Shorebase Evacuation Coordinators and include

their names on the EM Web Site as part of the AEMT Roster (Action by: PC EM

Process Sponsor)

11. During September ensure that the offshore jet fuel quantities are increased and

maintained as required during typhoon season. (Action by OIM’s and Air Center

Managers.

12. During September assess and ensure the telephone extensions and work stations for

the Onshore Evacuation Coordinators are available and operational. (Action by Air Center and Shorebase Managers)

13. During September a FIC awareness promotion/distribution to ensure all offshore

workers are aware of the purpose of the FIC and how to call the FIC. (Action by: HR)



2.2 Weather Watch Procedures

Satun Marine Control (SMC) is charged with the Day to Day Weather Monitoring and

gathering weather information along with advising all facilities and Duty Persons when a

weather situation is developing. In the case of a potential typhoon situation the Duty AEMT

Incident Commander shall be the primary initial onshore contact to be notified.

As specified below, Satun Marine Control (SMC) and the Contract Weather Service will

announce a Tropical Disturbance Watch as a preliminary notification to make key personnel aware that there is a weather situation that may have the potential to escalate.

1. A tropical disturbance watch will be announced by the Weather Services forecaster, by contacting the Satun Marine Controller directly by telephone when a tropical

disturbance (with closed surface circulation) has the potential to develop into a

tropical depression, tropical storm or typhoon, within the red boundary area of the

Chevron Typhoon Tracking Map.

If in the opinion of the SMC there is reason for concern he may also announce the

tropical disturbance watch without notification from the Weather Services, although

he should confer with the Duty Meteorologists.

2. The SMC will notify all Chevron OIM’s / DSM’s / CAR’s in addition to the Bangkok

Incident Commander that a tropical disturbance watch has been announced. All

notifications shall be done verbally to ensure they are received with a follow-up by fax / e-mail

3. The Bangkok Incident Commander will notify AEMT Duty Persons to establish a

Storm Committee and alert appropriate Duty Roster Persons that a tropical

disturbance watch has been announced. Storm Committee Members in turn shall notify the key personnel in their respective departments as necessary.

4. As appropriate, the Bangkok Incident Commander will convene a meeting of the

Storm Committee to discuss the severity of the weather, the speed and direction of the storm’s path and the proximity to Chevron’s Operations. This Committee will

discuss the situation, review emergency procedures and plan what future action

should be taken and establish a meeting and time line planning schedule.

Additionally, this Committee shall maintain close contact with their respective field representatives throughout the Tropical Disturbance Watch and further phases.

5. Based on the advice of the Marine Controller, the Contract weather services

personnel, the Offshore Installation Managers and the Drill Site Managers and in conjunction with the responsible Managers, the Bangkok Incident Commander

will, if required, announce what phase of the Typhoon Evacuation Plan should

be implemented.

6. If and when the tropical disturbance has dissipated as established by the Weather

Service, the Marine Controller will notify the Bangkok Incident Commander and all

stations that the threat is over and will confirm the stand down by fax / e-mail


2.3 Typhoon Evacuation Phase Plan

Minimum Actions

The decision by the Bangkok Incident Commander to move into any phase of the typhoon evacuation procedures shall be based on the advice of the contracted weather forecasters, the

Marine Controller, the OIM’s/ DSM’s / CAR’s and Storm Committee.

This decision shall be based upon:

Local offshore weather and sea conditions that could prevent personnel boarding

crew boats or tow bridal hook-ups.

The severity of the storm, the speed of the storm center, the direction and path of the

storm and the distance from the nearest Chevron operation.

The activities that are in progress at the time and the estimated time to secure the

facility or rig for evacuation.

The resources available for evacuation – boats and helicopters.

The resources available to carry out the evacuation.

As a safeguard the stated actions for each phase must be implemented as a minimum.

The red dashed border of the Chevron Typhoon Tracking Map is the Tropical Disturbance Watch Area for rig operations, in general no action is recommended until the storm center

enters the green dashed border area. Nothing is certain, but weather systems from the north

above 12o N will most likely dissipate because of the land mass.

Phase Summary

>650 nm Watch Area (Gray)

the evacuees return to the fields. (Shorebase Evacuation Coordinators can be CTEP

assigned personnel or Contractor Representatives.)

3. For Evacuees, while onshore and on stand-by, the company will provide

accommodations at a local hotel, 2 men to a room. To make room assignments easy,

evacuation buddies should be assigned together. Hotel assignments shall be made to keep groups together and be provided for both direct employee and contractor

personnel.

4. Prior to the evacuees arrival onshore, the Shorebase Coordinators and Shorebase Persons are responsible for:

4.1 Setting up the venue for the Shorebase Evacuation Coordination Center at the

designated location and ensuring that OIM’s on Field Break or Contractor Representatives are being notified to serve as Shorebase Evacuation

Coordinators’ generally one for each designated Offshore Facility / Unit

(Contractor Personnel can be assigned if necessary) as agreed with the Supt’s. 4.2 Sourcing possible hotel locations for evacuees.

4.3 Receiving and handling the evacuees at the jetty or Heliport.

4.4 Assigning and confirming the name lists of the evacuees for each hotel. The

list shall specify the names of the evacuees for which hotels and room numbers for future contact.

5. In general the Shorebase Evacuation Coordination Center will be manned by persons on field break as established by the Supt’s. Assigning and designating Shorebase

Evacuation Coordinators should be done during Pre Season Preparations.

At the time of the threat, the AEMT Evacuation Unit Leader shall designate a Lead

Shorebase Evacuation Coordinator to be responsible for coordinating all activities at

each Shorebase Evacuation Coordination Center. (A Shorebase Senior Chevron

Person must serve as the Lead if necessary, especially when contractor representatives are serving as Evac. Coordinators for their designated Facility/Rig)

6. The On Shift offshore OIM’s and DSM’s in coordination with the Field and Drilling Superintendents shall immediately begin preparing a priority list of personnel to be

remobilized and provide the lists to the BKK Evacuation Unit Leader so

remobilization planning can be done during the standby period.

7. For Remobilization, an evacuee Group Leader and an assistant should be assigned for

each group of evacuees by the respective OIM / DSM or the designated Shorebase

Evacuation Coordinators, this will be necessary if groups are different for Remobilization.



2.5 Onshore Stand-By Phase

1. Designated Shorebase personnel and Contractor Representative shall be available to

meet evacuees and be prepared to provide instructions and information to the arriving

evacuees. Contractor Representatives shall coordinate their instructions with the

Shorebase Evacuation Coordinators’ prior to informing the Group Leaders and their personnel. (In general, it is best to accommodate group members that evacuated

together in the same hotel.)

2. Crew change personnel during a shift change should contact the Shorebase

Evacuation Center for further instruction. Visitors should contact their respective

department sponsor.

3. The evacuee Group Leaders and their assistants (and the Contractor Representatives)

are responsible for maintaining regular telephone contact with their designated

Shorebase Evacuation Coordinator for an updated of the Remobilization plan.

4. Evacuees will in general be required to stay with their group and at the designated

hotel unless released to go home or to be remobilized with a different group.

5. Each evacuee if released is responsible for maintaining regular contact with the group

leader (and / or their Contractor Representative in the case of contractor personnel) so their whereabouts is known

6. Throughout a stand-by phase, each evacuee is still considered on duty and at work

and should be prepared at all times to assist with the evacuation or remobilization.

7. Evacuees shall be provided a copy of the Chevron Thailand Instructions and

Expectations of Personnel during Evacuation and Standby.

2.6 Remobilization Phase

1. When it is confirmed that the situation is safe for remobilization, the Bangkok

Incident Commander (BIC) will declare that the situation is over and the offshore re-

manning operations can start.

2. The Bangkok Incident Commander or designated OP’s Chief in coordination with the

On Shift OIM’s, DSM’s, CAR’s, Evacuation Unit Leader and the Shorebase

Evacuation Coordinators’ will plan the Remanning of the offshore facilities.

3. OIM’s / DSM’s and Superintendents shall plan Remobilization priorities and

transportation method based on “Business and Skill Needs” (not employment status)

such that the return to normal operations will be achieved most efficiently. Logistics input should be included, via Shorebase Marine/Air Operations personnel, before the

plan is finalized to ensure practicality and effective use of the transport resources.

In making the decision on the transportation method, the Remobilization Planning

shall consider the following:

Elapsed time since evacuation

Weather conditions en route / at the fields

Weather forecast – potential for additional tropical disturbances / depressions

Mental / physical condition of personnel

Field production levels – priority of crews and urgency


Availability of air transport and crews

Availability of boat transport and crews

4. The On Shift Offshore OIM’s / DSM’s / CAR’s and the Shorebase Evacuation

Coordinators shall coordinate the remobilization or release of the evacuees and

normal crew after assessing the number of days remaining for the person’s shift,

along with the skills needed and available of returning or field break personnel to re-man the fields and Rigs.

5. Based on the priorities of the On Shift OIM’s / DSM’s / CAR’s the Shorebase Evacuation Coordinators with the Shorebase / Logistics and Air Staff shall formulate

the transportation plans based on the available crews, their priority designations and

the availability of boats and helicopters.

6. The Duty Air Operations Staff shall plan the helicopter flight plans per the

Remobilization plans issued by the BKK Evacuation unit Leader. The Shorebase /

Logistics Staff, in consultation with Marine Operations Staff, shall do likewise for boat transportation.

7. The Shorebase Evacuation Coordinators shall contact and advise each evacuee Group Leader or their assistant and Contractor Representatives to advise them of the

remobilization time, place to assemble and arrangements.

Note: Blood Alcohol Testing (B.A.C.), prior to return to field, will be carried out

as normal.

8. The Shorebase Evacuation Coordination Center in coordination with the BKK ICC is responsible for the overall coordination and control of the remobilization plan until

the field re-manning is complete and the situation returns to normal.

The Company may at anytime make the decision to re-man its facilities, therefore all

personnel who are not available for their intended departure will be subject to disciplinary

procedures.

All personnel, while re-manning, will be obligated to a Breathalyzer sample before boarding

transport to Offshore. Anyone recording Breath Alcohol Concentrations above those set in the

Company Drug and Alcohol Policy will not be allowed offshore and are subject to the disciplinary procedures as described in the Company Drug and Alcohol Policy or their

companies if it is stricter.

The Remobilization Policy is:

1. The Company retains the right to specify the priority of personnel remobilization and

the transportation arrangements

2. The Company will try to arrange remobilizing personnel by helicopter consistent with

the priorities and availability of helicopters

3. The Company may specify remobilization by marine transport



2.7 Communication

1. Bangkok Incident Command Room: The function of the Bangkok Incident

Command Room is to support the field in anyway possible so that the field can

handle the emergency at hand and, if the need arises, the Bangkok AEMT shall

coordinate events that require the sharing of equipment such as marine vessels and helicopters. All decisions throughout any emergency will be made in close

consultation with field personnel, the Offshore Installation Managers, Drill Site

Managers, Chevron Construction Representatives and the Marine Controller and will be based on their general recommendations.

2. Route of Communications: All communications (messages, faxes and E-mails) to

Bangkok should be sent to the Bangkok Incident Commander and copied to others. The Bangkok Incident Commander will ensure that the correct personnel receive

copies.

3. Family information Center: The Family Information Center will be set up during an

emergency to answer inquiries from families and employees. This center will monitor

personnel numbers and movement. All POB lists and personnel movements (helicopter and boat manifests) should contain both the name and employee

number and employer of each evacuee and be sent to the Bangkok Incident

Commander with a copy to The Family Information Coordinator, the Marine

Controller at Satun LQ and the Shorebase Evacuation Coordinators.

4. E-Mail: E-mail will be available in the Bangkok Incident Command Center (E-mail

post box BKK Incident Commander) and the Bangkok Family Information Center (E-mail post box BKK FIC Coordinator)

A list of all Emergency Position E-Mail addresses is posted on the CTEP EM Web Site.

Note: All E-mail should be sent requesting a read receipt. If not received an

alternative method should be used to send the information. All E-mail should be sent to the Bangkok Incident Commander and copied to others.

5. Loss of Communication with Field: In the event that communications are completely lost with the Bangkok Incident Command Center the overall coordination

of this plan will be taken over by the Offshore Installation Manager at Satun for the

South and Benchamas for the North. Further, in the unlikely event that

communication with any facility is completely lost, then the facility manager will assume the coordination of the evacuation with vessels allocated during Phase 1.

6. Keeping People Informed: To avoid misunderstandings or miscommunications and to reduce anxiety, the Bangkok Incident Commander shall ensure all relevant

Chevron personnel are kept informed by means of Information Releases on a regular

basis. The decision as who receives the information depends on the nature of the information being conveyed and is at the discretion of the Bangkok Incident

Commander. There are a number of groups in the Global Address List under GRP

BKK IC.


The recommendation is that these releases be made as quickly as possible after a

major change or at least every four hours. If available these releases should be

checked by the PGPA Group in Bangkok, but should not be delayed because of this.

It is important that these updates are also sent to PGPA and the Family Information

Coordinator as well as other relevant parties.

If E-mail is unavailable because the rig is disconnected or under tow, then the

Drilling Operations Chief should keep the crews informed by any means possible such as Marisat, radio, message relays via near by facilities.

Weather updates should be communicated to all OIM’s / DSM’s / CAR’s as frequently as possible and when ever a major change occurs but at least every four

hours even if there are no changes. The OIM / D&C / FE OP’s Chief are included as

part of the Global Address List under GRP BKK IC.

7. Stopping Direct Communication from Outside to the Field. To avoid telephone

service being tied up and preventing emergency communication, the following

procedure will be adopted when deemed necessary by the Bangkok Incident Commander. This procedure will still allow employees offshore to communicate

with family members.

The Bangkok Incident Commander will instruct the Communications

personnel and switch board operators to direct all incoming calls from family members and friends trying to contact employees to the Family Information

Center (FIC). The FIC will take the relevant information and then inform the

caller that the information will be passed on to the employee (offshore worker) through the facility radio operator. The worker can then contact their

family member by phone through the radio room.

Employees / Workers on duty offshore are permitted to initiate contact with

their family members. (If this ties up too many lines it may be necessary for the OIM or Supervisors to establish a priority list.)

Only the following facility personnel (with the specific verbal approval of the

OIM) are permitted to make or receive communications regarding the

evacuation operations:

Radio Operators Production Superintendent / Supervisor

Maintenance Superintendent / Supervisor

HES Specialist

All phone calls will be logged by the radio operator and may be recorded.

Please note that in accordance with company policy, only those specifically

authorized to do so are permitted to communicate with government agencies,

the media, or any other outside agency, or entity.

Communication Paths

The following diagram indicates the permissible communication paths to ensure coordinated evacuation and remobilization operations. The primary paths indicate who communicates to

who. The secondary paths allow communications as indicated when appropriate and

necessary with the responsibility to inform anyone affected or with a need to know of the discussion.
