Emergency Operating Procedir.*-.'..
1. Training and Drills. Mat Ml caniancsment of operations on tna well, a safety nee ting be held, during which all peraonnel on board will ba advieac of rheir specific stations and duties l_i case of a fira emerg mcy, weather emergency, or blowout alarm, ihe «ame aafety meeting v i l l alao ba bald for each new drilling crew vriving cn board bef.v ct> the crew assumes Ita nonnal functions. Other individuals boai*ding the vessel for the flrat time will be eiiown their proper stations ar-irg emergencies. An announced fire drill and an unanriounceU blowout drill will ba conducted separately at least once a w€x4c. The performance of craw uauiwis and equipment In such drills w.'.ll ' a noted and corrected i f neceaaary. The fire drill will cunuisr. cf the wonvting of the fire alarm, reaponae of personnel, and function testing of fire hydrant puapa, hoses, and lov wiring nachaniane for lifeboat a. The blowout drill will be initia'iid by arvtficially tripping a blowout alarm device, auch aa pit volume indicator, reaponae of personnel, and function testing of blowout preventing equipment will be evaluated. Operator'8 per xmel shall be certified ln accordance with the provisions of civ : SGS-OCS Standard, "Training and Qualifications of Piv~ *nel in Wel' Jctitrol Equipment and Techniques for Drilling on Off snore Location," No. T-l. All BOP tests and drills will be noted cn IADC Driller's Logs. Station bills showing stations and duties of all personnel on board during ea rgencies will be prominently displayed ln various parts of the vessel. A aafety nesting will be held fbr each crew at least once a week.
2. DrilUvA to 1.000' BML witljut Marina Riser. .The riser string wTTTnot be used while orHUng ffit hole from -150' to 1,000' BML. Th? following precauti- and contingency plan fbr moving the vessel .-ff location will be adopted widle drilling thia portion of the hole:
a) 300 to 500 barrels of 11.0 ppg mud will be mixed . nr. placed In really available storage.
b) The return of fluids at the wellhead will be periodically monitored by a subsea television camera while the hole is being drilled.
c) Zfljoring cf supply boats alongside the drilling vessel will be minimi .red during these operations.
d) If the well begins to flow, the mud in storage will be groped down tha drill string. At this ntage, all personnel will be alerted to oss ue their resp&c .ve stations in preparation for winching the vt 3el off location.
1) i* t-ormsn ln engine room ready to shut down ventilation system.
2) Roustabout to watch for gas bubbles on the down-current side of the vessel.
3) Seamen to man up-current anchor winches.
4) Master of vessel ready to issue carders to winch off.
e) I f the flaw at the wellhead hnranpB uncontrollable, then the vessel will be moved off location immediately. The drilling vessel will be moored by a ccublnation chain and wire a ichor system. The unit will be moored ln auch a way that prevailing winds will carry any flow frcm the well away from the engine room. The down-current anchors will be connected ln such a manner that there are at least 300 to 400 feet of chain left on the winch. This will allow the vessel to be moved off location without disconnecting from the mooring lines. The above procedure can thus be uaed until the vessel's power can be utilized to move the vessel away from the hazardous area in case well flow hercrnpB uncontrollable.
3. Wall Control Procedures with Only 20" Conductor Set. .If the well kicks with only 20" conductor set, only the diverter system will be used to control the well. The diverter head will be closed, and the hole will be filled with seawater or weighted fluid until the well ls dead. The returns will be directed downwind from the vessel through one of the 10" diverter lines. Thia procedure minimizes the chances of breaking down the formation at the 20" conductor shoe.
OU Spill Contingency Plsn
In the event of an oil spill, control and clean-up procedures will be implemented according to the approved "Oil Spill Contingency Plsn" on f i le with the USGS Area Supervisor by Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO). ARCO is a number of Clean Gulf Associates, which has response bases at Venice, Grand Isle, Intracoastal City, and Cameron In Louisiana. The response time of Clean Gulf Associates is within approximately twel J (12) hours.

SUBJECT: Shallow Dri l l ing Hazards Analysis for Viosca Knoll 863, Prospect #27
The sea floor within this deep water block slopes towards the southeast at ar average gradient of 2.0 feet for every 100 feet (horizontal). The slope increases sl ightly with depth to the southeast. Water depths range from 925 feet at the northwest block corner to 1500 feet at the southeast block corner.
A single faul t , displaced down to the southeast, transects the northwest block corner. Offsets along the fault are on the order of 20 feec (5 msec.) at a sub-bottom depth of 200 feet '80 m s e c ) . Tlie fauJt however, does not show evidence of displacement wi th in the uppermost ISO feet (60 msec.) of the sea f loor .
A few bright spots indicative of high pressure gas accumulation were mapped and are scattered throughout the block at various depths. The "bright spot" mapped along the central portion of the western block boundary exhibits an"intermediate" amplitude level and is thought to be caused by lithologic conditions rather than gas accumulations.
No scout reports or deep exploration seismic data were reviewed for this block
It is recommended that scout tickets from the Cognac field be reviewed prior to drilling.
No other potential hazard^ were observed on the reviewed data.

Prospect #27
The fo l lowing is an assessment of the High-Resolution marirg geophysical survey data jo l lected by Odom Offshore Surveys, Inc. during the period of October 4-9 , 1979 for the hazards study of Viosca Knoll 363.
Bathymetry data were derived from the subbottom nrofiler records and calibrated Just nort'.i of the Sl Ml Oi l Co. Cognac platform in 13u0 feet of water. The water depths are based upon an acoustic veloci ty of 5000 feet per second and are accurate to wi th in + 5%. The sea floor slopes smoothly towards the southeast with a slight increfv:*' i ' i slope below the 1250 feet (500 msec.) contour. The average gradient of tne sea floor is 2 feet (depth) for every 100 feet (horizon*-.*).
Water depths range from 925 feet (370 mse' .) at the northwest block corner to 1500 feet (600 msec.) at the southeast block corner.
Magnetometer and Side Scan Sonar data were either not obtained or of no interpretive value due to the deep water depths encountered.
Subbottom Profiler records provided good penetration of the uppermost 100 feet beneath the sea f loor. Near surface reflectors are roughly parallel with slight thinning and thickening of sediments downslope.
No hazardous features (faults, seafloor mud slides, or old river channels) were observed on the subbottom records.
M u l t i - f o l d High Resolution Seismic data and energy equalized lelative amplitude sections revealed several high amplitude (Bright Spot) anomal. o and one intermediate amplitude anomaly.
Four major reflecting horizons were traced throughout the block at subbottom depths of 325 feet (130 m s e c ) , 725 feet (290 m s e c ) , 1500 feet (600 msec) and 1675 feet (670 m s e c ) . Sediment thicknesses between the upper three horizons thin towards the south, while the lowermost reflector pinches-out in an up-slope direction (thickens to the --outh).

f High amplitude anomalies are generally small in extent and are scattered throughout the b!ock. Tht anomalous feature centered along the western block boundary estfubl1 s an "Intermediate" amplitude arvi xs most probably related to lithologic chang. ^ i . e than high pressured gas. The high ar olitude anomalies are indicative of high pre i -sure gas accumulation and proper precautions should be taken in their vicinity.
The fault Is oriented from northeasi to southwest and transects the northwest block corner. The fault displays offsets of 15 to 20 feet at a depth of 325 feet beneath the sea floor and of 25 to 37 feet at a depth of 1525 feet beneath the sea floor. The fault plane is inclined towards the southeast at an angle of slightly over 45°. Based upon the subbotton profi!'*; and iear trace profile records the fault shows no displacement within the i« a-nvcvl 1 to 150 feet beneath the sea floor, however, tl.e fault should b'- isie*. red c ..tartially active and avoided as necessary.
No other potential hazards 'vert ->bserved on the reviewed data.
