Abstract Shift handover is one of crucial process of process plant operations and historical data revealed many of the industrial accidents resulted due to incomplete and poor handover. ADNOC Onshore recognized the need for digitalizing the shift handover. In 2017, Bab Gas operation conceived the idea to be implemented within one control room and later in 2018 the idea was expanded by TC-Integrity & Operation Excellence (TC I&OE) to standardize and implement the E-log in all fifteen ADNOC onshore control rooms to assure the safety of its people and assets, in compliance with ADNOC COP-Operating Integrity. TC I&OE, BAB GAS asset and IT collaboratively worked together in a structured approach to develop a tailor made in-house application. This would improve the shift handover communication, ease of retrieving historical logs at minimum time, enable analysis of information, and. The E log solution was developed with in-house resources and helped saving considerable cost of buying third party application.

Abstract Health, safety and environment have always been important to the industry but recent events have brought them to the fore. Accidents such as Buncefiled, Texas City and the Gulf of Mexico spill are examples of how poor shift handover and lack of communication of operational information in particular can be a contributing factor to major incidents. This paper will focus on the importance of effectively communication key operational data, from the control room through to senior management. It will examine the methods currently in place today for collecting and sharing this data and introduce the concept of electronic shift logging. It will look at real examples from other industries, e.g. Power Generation, of how it can minimize the likelihood of error in the high risk activity of shift handover, through improved communication and information management which in turn impacts safety and accident prevention.

Acknowledgement I would like to express my thanks to Our Senior Management and Information Technology Division (ITD) Management for their support in making ADMA-OPCO Process Management System (APMS) a success story. Appreciation for the successful deployment of the system should go to the Offshore Business Units Management, Team Leaders and Supervisors. My sincere thanks go also to our Development Team for their dedicated and devoted efforts to produce the final product that has made a considerable impact on the workforce, processes and Organization. In the same context, we owe gratitude to ITD-Technical Support Department for their continuous cooperation on the Hardware, the Database and Oracle development/runtime tools acquisition installation and setup issues. 1- Introduction This paper will demonstrate how information technology is invested in automating the reporting of activities within the plant operations in our Organization 'ADMA-OPCO'. It will highlight how that automation has brought about change on People, Process and Organization (PPO). The paper will emphasize how the workforce becomes enabled to streamline the reporting of their shift activities in a coherent and standardized manner. It will finally conclude how safety standards get promoted, integration gets facilitated and decision making process enhanced. Prior to that, a brief account will be given of the Company's profile, its core business and the issues that it has encountered in managing its operation activities at offshore sites. Afterwards, a description of the ADMA-OPCO Process Management System (APMS) will follow, covering various aspects: business functionality, technical specification and system features. 2- Company's Profile Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company (ADMA-OPCO) is a major oil and gas producer in the region whose vision is to perform as a world class hydrocarbon producer from the offshore concession reserves, ensuring facilities integrity, protecting health, safety and the environment for the next 50 years. ADMA-OPCO is shared between Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, British Petroleum (BP), Total of France, and Japan Oil Development Company (JODCO). Its operations, which are centered in the offshore areas of Abu Dhabi (UAE), date back to the 1950s. Oil and gas production are produced from two major fields Umm-Shaif and Zakum, where the latter is one of the largest oilfields in the world. The crude is collected from these fields using giant steel structures called super complexes, and then transferred to Das-Island, a nearby industrial base. Das Island has got various oil and gas installations and tanker berths for processing, storing and export. Oil discovery in Abu Dhabi, at an economic scale, was first made in 1958 in Umm Shaif and the first oil shipment exported from Abu Dhabi to the world market came out on July 4th, 1962 from the same field.

The Abnormal Situation Management (ASM) Consortium performed a root-cause analysis on 32 incident reports gathered from public documents and member companies. The analysis identified common failure categories and manifestations in these incidents. Consequently, the consortium completed three case studies on potential deployment solutions: one supporting better shift-handover communication, a second supporting better alarm-flood situations, and a third supporting better situation awareness by use of overview displays using qualitative gauges. The ASM Consortium has been working for almost 20 years with an emphasis on human-factor engineering to address process-safety and operational challenges for downstream hydrocarbon-processing and petrochemicals companies. These consortium members have jointly invested in research and development to create knowledge, tools, and products designed to prevent, detect, and mitigate abnormal situations that affect process safety in the control/operations environment.

Introduction The ASM Consortium has been working for almost 20 years with an emphasis on human-factor engineering to address process-safety and operational challenges for downstream hydrocarbon-processing and petrochemicals companies. These consortium members have jointly invested in research and development to create knowledge, tools, and products designed to prevent, detect, and mitigate abnormal situations that affect process safety in the control/operations environment. The consortium has placed a continual emphasis on the humans that use automation and technology to operate the production processes, focusing extensively on human factors, human reliability, and process safety. Recently, the consortium has expanded its focus to upstream enterprises, with many of the operating company members having extensive oil and gas businesses. What Are Abnormal Situations? The ASM Consortium has defined abnormal situations as “undesired plant disturbances or incidents with which the control system is not able to cope, requiring a human to intervene to supplement the actions of the control system.” An abnormal situation could be a simple upset condition quickly recognized and rectified by operator action, or an abnormal situation could escalate to a critical process-safety incident, where a safety system must be engaged for an emergency shutdown and evacuation is required. The objective of ASM is to bring the process back to normal before safety-shutdown-control systems or other safety-protection systems are engaged. This definition is specifically used to distinguish between normal, abnormal, and emergency situations from the perspective of console operations. Often, operator error is blamed for causing incidents, and companies rush to increase training as a panacea. The work of the consortium has shown that incidents are caused by a multitude of factors, and solutions to address incidents need to consider the human operator’s role, the technology involved, and the system design, as well as the environment.
