{"title":"High Rise Building Evacuation: Saving Lives vs. Business Continuity","authors":"Kairul Zaman Mohamed Noh, Saira Hanim Shamsi, Siang Choon Foo","doi":"10.2118/195413-MS","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2118/195413-MS","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 The complexity of high rise buildings poses challenges in the event of evacuation. The multiple floors of staircases, longer egress times and large number of tenants determine the success of a complete evacuation. Most high rise buildings are well equipped with state-of-the-art safety systems. Nevertheless, untoward disasters can still occur, ranging from fires to terrorist attacks. The readiness of tenants is an area of importance as this can delay the overall course of evacuation. Identifying the causes of common delay of tenants is elemental to continuously improve evacuation rate in the event of emergencies. In view of the increased number of terrorist attacks globally in recent years, high rise building is consistently on alert as it is usually a prime target. Therefore, carrying out evacuation drill is indeed paramount to emergency preparedness. Series of full scale and functional evacuation drills are conducted at the highest twin towers in the world, PETRONAS Twin Towers (PeTT) and Tower 3. Furthermore, PeTT include various type of businesses and tenants e.g. offices, shopping mall, large underground parking bay, as well as recreational and leisure facilities. A study to look into the tenants’ behaviours was carried out in concurrence with the evacuation drill. The purpose of the study is to identify the common behaviours that contributed to the delay of the overall evacuation time. Information pertaining to the common behaviours were gathered through observation and post-mortem findings. The information obtained from this study is necessary for PeTT to continuously improve its emergency response preparedness. The series of drills are also carried out to test the Business Interruption and Continuity preparedness, e.g. activation and mobilisation of Business Continuity Teams (BCT), activation of Alternate Work Site (AWS), readiness of ICT, as well as the response time in order to reactivate the critical business functions. This paper will focus on the study conducted based on the emergency evacuation exercise carried out on 10th July 2017, mainly on the behaviours of the tenants.","PeriodicalId":425264,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Wed, April 24, 2019","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128039977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our methodology has the ability to calculate carbon geosequestration capacity of shales by considering Knudsen diffusion, molecular diffusion, Langmuir's adsorption, and stress-sensitivity of the permeability. Our model is more in line with the actual situations, allowing us to accurately estimate the carbon storage capacity by capturing the transient pressure solutions of the injection well. Additionally, the model verification in this paper shows that the error is 3%, indicating the reliability of the model. Sensitive analysis presents that the CO2 geosequestration capacity is proportional to fracture half-length and fracture conductivity. The change in the property for hydraulic fractures only affects the early period of the CO2 geosequestration process. For the adsorption coefficient, with the increase of the adsorption coefficient, the CO2 geosequestration capacity also become greater. This phenomenon has become more apparent with the continuous progress of the CO2 storage process.","PeriodicalId":425264,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Wed, April 24, 2019","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126979397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although Petrobras operates predominantly in Brazil, its headquarters, it does business and operates in virtually every continent on the planet. Consequently, its professionals move to the most distant and remote places, where, in general, there is no local support from the Company. Thus, there are more challenges and complexities inherent to Petrobras’ corporate travels, as well as the likelihood of incidents is higher. Given the accelerated growth in travel demands and the consequent increase in employees traveling around the world, it was necessary to develop a dedicated internal process for international travel control. The process includes guidance to employees on security aspects before, during and after the travel, mitigation actions and support to employees at risk, as well as a channel for integration with other areas related to travel security. This article reflects the company's cultural change in reinforcing its commitment to life and safety, by creating a process and assigning a team dedicated to the care of travelers abroad, and identifies the need for improvement in parallel processes in order to improve their integration, the monitoring of scenarios and of external environments. The data that supports the article also supports the thesis that all the work of transforming the process and investing in prevention and guidance to employees only with the differential of internal production and adaptation to the Company's culture is feasible with low cost. This article reinforces the need to align travel security activities with the culture of the company and its employees so both can speak the same language and not create cultural gaps.","PeriodicalId":425264,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Wed, April 24, 2019","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127746406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When oil spills occur, responders are often expected to work in challenging environments which present serious health and safety risks; examples include, but are not limited to, extremes of temperature, wind and humidity; a concern is personnel working in hot weather conditions. To this end, a safe system of work, aligned to industry good practice, was established. The safe system of work for operating in hot weather consolidates and strengthens existing processes in the OSRL risk management framework; it leverages on familiar tools and utilises ‘Heat Risk Categories’ derived from ‘WetBulb Globe Temperatures (WBGT)’. Key to the effort are written procedures which calibrate and standardise measures to prevent and manage heat injuries, applied to the following: 1) Planning; 2) Response; and 3) Demobilisation phases in any oil spill clean up. The procedures were validated over a succession of field deployment exercises conducted in Bahrain during summer, between 2016 and 2018 This paper will discuss the risk management approach by OSRL - focus is placed on the practitioner's perspective to ensure service delivery in hot weather conditions. The attention given to heat injuries, justified by instrument-measured indicators grounded in research, represents a step improvement to ensure the health and safety of responders.

The commercially available additives are non-biodegradable materials and have negative impacts when released to the environment. Thus, there is a great need for new environmental friendly biodegradable drilling fluid additives that can help to control the drilling fluid properties with the least effects on the environment and the workers’ health.\u0000 This study investigates the introduction of biodegradable food waste product, which is Potato Peels Powder (PPP) to be used as environmental friendly drilling fluid additive. The effects of adding various concentrations of PPP on the chemical and the physical properties of the drilling mud (e.g. mud weight (MW), plastic viscosity (PV), yield point (YP), the filtration characteristics, and pH) were evaluated. The evaluation included conducting lab experiments with full-set measurements following the specifications of the American Petroleum Institute (API), such as filtration loss and corrosion control rate\u0000 The effects of adding different concentrations of the bio-enhancer additive (PPP) were measured and recorded using mud balance, a standard API viscometer, a standard low-pressure and temperature (LPLT) filter press, chemical titration, and other drilling lab equipment. Then, all results of PPP were compared with the properties of the reference water-based mud (spud mud) in order to assess and validate the effects of biodegradable additives and their effectiveness in optimizing the performance of water-based mud.\u0000 The results showed that PPP had a negligible effect on mud weight and solid content. However, PPP tangibly influenced the rheological properties in terms of maximizing plastic viscosity and minimizing yield point and gel strength. Also, PPP significantly improved the filtration characteristics by reducing the fluid loss and mud cake thickness, suggesting their applicability to be used as an excellent fluid loss control agent. Moreover, PPP additives resulted in increasing sodium chloride (NaCl); consequently, resistivity was reduced. Finally, PPP additives resulted in a reduction in alkalinity and calcium ions content (Ca++). These experimental results show that Potato Peels Powder (PPP) has the potential to be used as an alternative to some of the conventional chemical additives, and hence reducing the amount of non-biodegradable waste disposed to the environment, avoiding the personnel safety, and minimizing the drilling cost.","PeriodicalId":425264,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Wed, April 24, 2019","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115908300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drilling fluids assist in transporting the cuttings to the surface, control formation pressure, and cool the bit. The most common fluid additives that are used in drilling fluids are the chemical additives such as barite, bentonite, caustic soda and many more. Each chemical additive has its own set of applications. Chemical additives are used for rheological properties, filtration controls, and many more. These traditional chemical additives give promising results, but they have some side effects that are commonly ignored. These side effects include cost, health, safety, and environmental concerns.\u0000 This paper presents a new alternative for drilling fluid additives which are the food waste products that are discarded by people. The main objective is to be able to use food waste products as drilling fluid additives to improve the mud rheological properties and avoid any environmental issues that are commonly caused by conventional chemical additives. The food waste products are available everywhere and are easily accessible making them a good candidate for further investigation. The cost of food waste products is less compared to the cost of chemical additives and food waste products are friendlier to the environment. The average total cost of drilling operations is expensive, and part of that expense includes the cost of drilling fluids, which is also generally high. By using food waste products, the total cost for drilling operations reduces, providing a better economic solution. Food waste products account for about 8.2% of greenhouse gas emissions and they can be utilized for better uses such as drilling fluid additives. It is also generally safer to handle food waste in comparison with chemical additives as some chemical additives have hazards that require proper equipment in order to be handled.\u0000 Food waste products have the potential to compete with traditional chemical additives and they might be a good alternative. Several investigations have been carried out by people using food waste products. From the previous work and experiments carried out by people, it has shown that food waste products generally improve the mud rheological properties and fluid loss control. From the previous work, there are several shortcomings that can be avoided suggesting more evaluations. Further investigation and experiments should be carried out to gain more information and results of food waste products as a drilling fluid additive in order to be used for future drilling projects.","PeriodicalId":425264,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Wed, April 24, 2019","volume":"216 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123504068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
