New report on human factors in drilling and well operations
The Norwegian Petroleum Safety Authority and DNV Consulting have co-operated to deliver a report called “Human Factors in Drilling and Well Operations – challenges, projects and activities”.
Drilling and well operations consist of complicated operations with a large risk potential for personnel as well as major accidents. Data from 2004 indicates that the number of well related events has been reduced for production drilling, but that the risk from the events has increased.
“It is not sufficient to focus on improvement of technical solutions to reduce the risk potential. The challenge here is to address the consequences of interaction between humans, technology and organisations and identify the optimal operating methods,” says DNV’s pro -ject manager Jan Erik Åsland.
