Southern Highlands PNG

Getting to PNG

Extremely long supply chain. Drilling supplies chain. Drilling supplies from Singapore and Australia.

N d t b t No road system between Port Moresby and OSL Moro Base. Or Moro base LaeMoro

to our Gobe base.

Lae to our Moro Base is 600 km and takes 4 days

Kopi

Gobe

600 km and takes 4 days if road conditions are good

POM based Dash 8 for smaller items <3m, and brings crews in and out of field

Boeing 727 charter flights also used for larger items eg. Geo-Pilot Rotary Steerable Tools

In Field Communities

Local Highlands communities are generally extremely poor, with basic subsistence living.y p , gOperating area has little in the way of active government services. What we need we bring in.Oil Search provides employment directly and via

t t d d t L d O C i contracts awarded to Land Owner Companies. Oil Search provides main infra-structure, main medical services, roads, plus enhanced Security via police presence. p pTax incentive plans (eg: building schools), brings in additional services to area.Cash royalty payments made to owners for use of h i l dtheir land.

Any government grievance by community is often directed against OSL, as government will then notice.then notice.Inter clan/tribe flighting with extreme violence occurs in area. But usually this does not impact OSL operations.

CA officers actively work with communities around drilling sites to bring out any issues, and ensure peace.

HSE Perspective

With rigs remote even from in-field support, we treat each site as if it were an offshore drilling rig.site as if it were an offshore drilling rig.

New Rigs – New Drilling Contractor

The Drilling Contractor is given responsibility to manage the location.

HAES Safety Management System used on site.

Eg: incident investigation co-ordinated by HAES

Bridging Document – explains the agreement how OSL and HAES Operations Management Systems integrate and interface.

Fatigue and PNG EnvironmentEnvironment

It is hard to work in PNGNights – can be cold, always very wetDays – can be hot, humid, sunny, glareWells are tough - Takes a lot of mental energy to stay focusedL k d t l t & f Long work days - travel to & from camps4, now 5 week hitch - Highs and LowsLocal citizens - rigs are seen as a elati el safe place ! O t ith clansrelatively safe place ! Out with clans.

Compliancy to danger has to be managed, but issues from home do arise

This environment can cause FatigueThis environment can cause FatigueFatigue Fatigue is a daily lack of energy
