Geophysical survey companies that operate aircraft form IAGSA’s core membership, but others such as mining companies that require the results of geophysical surveys and aviation companies that provide geophysical survey flying share a direct interest and responsibility for the overall safety of survey flying. The latter groups are actively participating as Associate members of IAGSA.

While the aircraft captain has the final responsibility for the safety of any particular flight, many of the parameters that have a direct bearing on flight safety have been predetermined by client company survey specifications, survey company data collection considerations and aircraft operating company requirements. IAGSA brings these different groups together to find common ways to advance safety.IOGP members produce 40 of the world’s oil and gas. They operate in all producing regions: the Americas, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, the Caspian, Asia and Australia. IOGP serve industry regulators as a global partner for improving safety, environmental and social performance. IOGP also act as a uniquely upstream forum in which their members identify and share knowledge and good practices to achieve improvements in health, safety, the environment, security and social responsibility. Although IOGP covers all aspects of the oil and gas production safety standards, Bell Geospace primarily use their resources for aviation standards and best practice for survey operations. IAGC The IAGC provides a setting for member companies to address issues of industry importance. The ultimate aim is to achieve step-change improvement in HSSE performance in worldwide geophysical operations. The IAGC has representatives from all major geophysical contractors including land, marine, electromagnetic, gravity, and magnetic, who are focused on being proactive in the areas of HSSE. The IAGC develops guidance documents that address security issues impacting the industry. It also supports and contributes to the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP) guidance documents. The IAGC has several sustaining initiatives that provide significant value to its members in their pursuit of best practices. They provide access to a database of injuries and fatal incidents that occurred in the execution of geophysical activity dating to 1966.
The data provides information about the cause, location, type of activity involved and environment. The purpose of maintaining this database is to assist our members in continual mitigation of hazards and risks, as well as improving practices that lead to fewer incidents.

Its intention is to share our experience with young geophysicists who collect and analyze geophysical data and clients who use results of geophysical surveys. It describes standard operational procedure of data acquisition and analysis in each method to reach a sound interpretation of the data. It also includes a due consideration on performance efficiency, quality control and reporting. Geophysicists may refer to this manual in all the stages of a survey: data acquisition, processing, analysis and interpretation. To the clients of the survey, this manual may be particularly useful in understanding the surveys from planning to assessing the outcome: how data are presented.

Meeting Electricity Congress Symposium Symposium It is part of an early stage of exploration of the frontier basins of Uruguay, committed by international oil companies under production sharing agreements with the national oil company of Uruguay (ANCAP), or multi-client contracts signed between ANCAP and international geophysical companies. ANCAP's role was to supervise and facilitate the operations, and in particular, to set the rules for developing safe and sustainable operations in coordination with other national authorities. Although there is a fair general understanding of the physical, biological and anthropic media of the EEZ, data is scarce, with isolated and inhomogeneous efforts concentrated in a particular environmental media, species or locations.
Most of the artisanal and industrial fisheries, and marine traffic, is developed near the coastal area of the EEZ, far from the exploration areas. Exploration of hydrocarbons is a non-traditional activity in Uruguay; therefore, apart from general legislation for the protection of marine environment and for safe and sustainable development of human activities, including international agreements for marine operations, there are no specific regulations regarding HSE for exploration operations. A particular focus was given into those issues of higher concern, among local stakeholders and probably worldwide, associated with offshore seismic operations: the protection of marine mammals and other marine fauna, the relation and communication with stakeholders, the effect of sound on fishes and fisheries, and the social impact in terms of the involvement of local providers and human resources in the programme. This paper is the first assessment of HSE management and performance of exploration operations offshore Uruguay, and uses a comprehensive database from the international geophysical and oil companies involved in the seismic programme.

The grades are presented in an evaluation matrix (modified Leopold matrix) and the impact factors of the environment and the project phases can be derived from them. The mean value of the calculated factors gives the Project Impact Index which is a single value representing the overall environmental impact of the planned operation. A theoretical example was introduced to demonstrate the work of the developed method.

Prior to this, the principals worked for major geophysical exploration companies in senior technical and senior managerial roles, with successfully executed projects in Australia, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mediterranean and Myanmar. Each project is individually assessed, and appropriate learning points from past projects are applied. We apply a rigorous technical, safety, and environmental process to each project, working closely with regulatory bodies to ensure complete compliance with all regulatory requirements. Industry Standards are also adhered to. The involvement of all members of the operations group is essential in providing a solution to the “extraordinary problem”. Our previous experience and also that of other operators and service companies will be considered when setting up operations in any area previously unknown to our Clients. A contingency plan will be put in place for unplanned events. The objectives of the Project Plans will be focused on at all times. Supervisory personnel must get to know their staff and understand what drives them. It is important to have the right people in the right positions, and make sure that staffing levels are appropriate.
People must be treated with respect, remembering that people are the vital ingredient in our operations. GSL can offer innovative pricing models, ranging from simple day rate, through lump sum, to project equity. Whilst it is important to keep costs down, we also understand that the application of low-cost equipment and or services does not always result in efficiency and cost effectiveness. This is achieved by defining the roles and responsibilities of the key positions involved in managing and executing our well engineering projects, and the operational procedures and policies relating to those activities. It focuses specifically on Geophysical related operations at a high level, and identifies how they are organized and how the relationship GSL between the key parties are defined. The applicable minimum operating standards are stated, representing a baseline for all activities. This manual contains the following main sections. Many of its associated staff and consultants also reside in Singapore and Australia.

Effective implementation ensures that all individuals are aware of the hazards associated with the work place, and the work is conducted with the appropriate level of competence, and risk management controls are in place. A management system (MS) as referred to in this document is assumed to cover many facets of a company s activities including health, safety, security, the environment, quality, social responsibility and sustainable development. These may be collectively referred to in this document by the acronym HSE for simplicity. Competence is a combination of knowledge, understanding and skill, and the appropriate level of competence cannot be acquired simply by attending a training session. Knowledge can be gained from training but understanding and skill are acquired by experience. Competency Management includes assessment, verification and tracking of an individual s competence. It is a geophysical industry requirement that all individuals engaged in the geophysical industry are competent in their assigned jobs. Senior management has a responsibility to ensure an individual s competence is adequate for the job assigned. The Annex 3 modules set out the core requirements for competence (knowledge, understanding, and skill) in each subject. Individuals must be continuously assessed by line management to assure the necessary level of competence is attained and maintained. Senior management are responsible for making sure that their contractors and subcontractors employees have similar levels of competence. It is expected that senior managers of companies engaged in the geophysical industry will use these guidelines to assist their line managers, in assessing the competence of their employees, and to define their training requirements where competence is unsatisfactory, and to help them choose the appropriate training providers.
An easy to use language competence framework is set out in a 2011 Council of Europe document titled Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, Teaching. 2. The document also provides guidance to training providers on the contents, and emphasis of training, required by the geophysical industry. It is the IOGP s goal to have these guidelines recognized as providing a comprehensive HSE competency management reference, which will be consistent throughout the entire geophysical industry. It is important to stress that these are guidelines and contain recommendations and should not be considered a list of mandatory industry training, or form part of a contract. (The wording should be is equivalent to recommended ). It should be clear that this is a set of guidelines and not prescriptive in either course length, content or target audience. Each company that uses this document should develop their own competency management system, training matrix and curriculum, consistent with types of operations and hazards that their workforce faces. Not everyone with a particular title used in this document is intended to have all the training listed. 3 The Annex 3 sheets provide the details of the guideline. Annex 1 Annex 1 is a matrix showing the general subject titles of modules and correlates them to each target audience group. This matrix is useful in showing continuity of competence assessment and training needs. Annex 2 Annex 2 is a list of HSE Awareness Modules (AM) designed primarily for new recruits or people assigned to unfamiliar roles. New recruits and people assigned to unfamiliar jobs or locations are recognized as a higher risk category. Employers have a duty of responsibility to provide these people with induction and awareness training before assignment. Annex 3 sheets have not been provided for Awareness Modules because the different approaches by companies in the geophysical industry made it difficult to generate module sheets.
Annex 2 lists subject titles and provides a checklist for the user to decide the subject matter that would be taught. The user must justify the content of awareness training modules by job specific hazard analysis. Annex 3 These sheets should be used to: Provide guidance for the assessment of competence levels. Assess who needs training. Enable the correct training module to be selected, and to determine what the contents should be. Give guidance to the training provider on the type and content of training required, and the minimum amount of time necessary to impart the knowledge, understanding and skill required. Ensure that on the job training does not omit key elements. The following sections in this front piece give details which need to be read by the user, so that the user understands the reasoning used to generate the Annex 3 4 Management Modules (MM and MAM) These modules each have a separate Annex 3 sheet. They are targeted at company executives, senior managers and operations managers, and will focus on the management aspects of the subject matter. The competence assessment criteria and training emphasis will depend on the job responsibilities of the individual. The MM modules are management planning modules, and the MAM ones are management activity modules. Field Management Modules (FMM) These modules are targeted at the field operations managers and supervisors. There is an Annex 3 sheet for each module. Supervisors need to be competent in assessing the competence of their work force. Hence they need to have an adequate understanding of the subject matter. Operator Skills Modules (OSM) These modules are all skill related. That is the individual has to actively do something. This may be operating a piece of equipment or taking part in an identified activity. The knowledge of any applicable national legislation relating to usage of equipment, or license requirement should be included.
Note: this guideline does not attempt to set out the competence level or training requirements for recognized professions or trades, such as Mariner, Medical Doctor, Electrician, for example. The company must justify the competence of all such employees through its recruitment procedures. Training Providers This guideline has not attempted to define the training providers qualifications. As a guideline for worldwide use, training providers qualifications are best left to the user to justify that they are acceptable. If required, an entry could be added on relevant module sheets setting out the training provider qualifications necessary to satisfy the user in that part of the world. Regulatory Requirements This guideline does not list the different regulatory competence or training requirements country by country. It is recommended that the user consider adding the regulatory requirements of the countries where it operates. 5 Alternatively worded: Competence is the product of Knowledge, Understanding, Skills and Behaviour. Knowledge Defined as to know the theoretical or practical details of the subject (for example to know how to start a vehicle and select the correct gears). Understanding Defined as the ability to perceive or predict or make reasonable judgment on the outcome of actions. (This is much more than just knowledge taking the vehicle driver as an example again understanding would allow the driver to identify why the vehicle would not start, to understand the implication of speed limits; using seat belts: it would allow the driver the best chance of coping with unexpected situations as well as those situations commonly encountered). Skill Defined as the practiced and expert ability to carry out a specific action or response. (To be able to drive a vehicle successfully, efficiently and safely over different types of terrain, negotiating obstacles and avoiding hazards).
Training Defined as the process of imparting specific skills, knowledge and understanding to undertake specific defined tasks. (Training can be undertaken in formal classroom situations, under supervision on the job, computer based training or as part of the normal working experience). HSE critical task Defined as a task or decision performed on a health, safety or environmentally critical element which if performed incorrectly can lead to a major incident. 6 The upper part of the figure covers roles found within the contractor (or subcontractor) organization. The various target audience groups are shown in red to the left of table 1, and are used in Annex 1 (the HSE module matrix). There is some variation within the geophysical industry on job titles, for example Party Manager vs. Party Chief. The right hand column of Table 1 attempts to show much of this variation. The titles shown in blue are the ones that have typically been used for the various modules in Annex 3 in the Audience section. New assignee Short service employee Rookie, greenhorn, trainee, apprentice, beginner, novice, etc.This is not intended to cover every position in every company but rather to reflect commonly found titles. These have been labeled with similar names of Management and Field support to those of the contractor company organizational structure in the upper part of the table. This allows this competency management document to be used to cover the full range of roles found in geophysical operations. 8 It is the product of knowledge and understanding, skills and behaviour. The goal of assuring competency is to be able to demonstrate that employees are competent to carry out the tasks that they are required to perform. A Competency Management System (CMS) is used to assess, evaluate and identify areas where improvements in qualifications, training and supervision need to be made to align role expectations and performance.
