SECTION II Environmental Management in PCSB Sarawak Operations
SECTION I Introduction to
Environmental Issues
By the end of this session, you will
Objective 1
• Understand the environmental issues arising from the Exploration & Production (E&P) industry
Objective 2
• Understand the impacts of those issues to the environment

“ Surroundings in which an organization
operates, including air, water, land, natural
resources, flora, fauna, humans and their
interrelations ”
ENVIRONMENT is defined as
SECTION I Introduction to
Environmental Issues
What is Environment?

SECTION I Introduction to
Environmental Issues
Global Environmental System
• Carbon dioxide (CO2)
• Methane (CH4) release
Global Climate Change
• Ozone depletion (CFCs & Halon)
Ozone Depletion
• Toxic & Hazardous waste
• Haze, Acid Rain, Smog
Trans boundary
movement
• Algae bloom Marine
Pollution
• Loss of habitat
• Extinction of flora & fauna Deforestation
SECTION I Introduction to
Environmental Issues
Global Environmental Issues What are Greenhouse
gases??
• Many chemical compounds present in earth’s atmosphere behave as greenhouse gases (GHG)
• GHG occur naturally & also originated from human activities
• Waste is an unavoidable by-product of any process on site and must be managed properly to avoid unwanted incidents e.g. explosions, fines etc.
• On site, the focal person that is responsible for waste management is the Operation Supervisor and his related duties are to ensure his operation team to conduct the followings:
– Identifying sources of waste generation
– estimating the quantity of wastes received/generated
– Records and report the Scheduled Wastes inventory to BSE Department on a monthly basis (terminals & LSB)
– Developing and implementing the waste minimization programme (with advice from BSE) in line with PCSB SKO overall Waste Management objectives and targets.
EW 01: Waste Management…
– Providing sufficient waste containers for collection and segregation purposes.
– Ensuring that waste containers are labeled correctly and stored in safe manner.
– Ensuring all outgoing wastes for disposal are accompanied by proper documentation i.e. WCN, Waste Card, etc.
– Ensuring contractors comply with the requirements stipulated in sites Environmental Working Instructions (Wastes Management).
EW 01: Waste Management…
• There are several approaches to waste management which are:
- Elimination - Recycle - Reuse - Disposal
- Substitution - Reduction - Treatment
• The hierarchy of preferred methods is shown in the next slide.

EW 01: Waste Management…
BCOT Scheduled Waste (SW) Generated
• Segregate waste generated • Pack SW in correct container with appropriate cover • Label container appropriately
To be done weekly: • Transfer SW to SW storage area • Waste inventories generated in specified forms • Submit waste inventories to Site Scheduled Wastes Focal Point
To be done monthly: •Submit SW inventory to BSE/3 for Scheduled Waste Inventory Reporting to the Department of Environment (DOE)

EW 02: Chemical Handling
• Chemicals are defined as a (usually) hazardous compound used for specific operations e.g. acids, paints etc.
• Therefore, they must be tightly controlled within a site and this responsibility falls to several people, i.e.:
- Site HSE Officer
• To ensure full implementation of this procedure at sites/ facilites.
• Maintaining / updating the Registry of Chemicals and report to BSE as and when required..
- Contract Administrator
• Shall ensure that all procurement of new chemicals will include training package on the chemical usage and handling by the chemical vendor.
EW 02: Chemical Handling
- Field Engineer
• responsible for advising on technical aspects of any new chemical usage and disposal methods
- Operation Supervisor
• Responsible to ensure checking and inspection of all incoming chemicals being carried out prior to acceptance.
EW 02: Chemical Handling
Reception
• All chemicals arriving on
site must be properly
packed (labeled, not
leaking etc.)
• The chemical’s CSDS
must be either supplied or
available
Containment
• Containment must be regularly inspected
• In case of spill; block source, contain, clean
Handling
• The chemical to be
used must be properly
identified before use
• Packing must still be in
good condition
• Chemical drums
handled carefully
Recording
• All chemicals used must be listed
• A chemical inventory must be maintained and updated daily

• Terminals operations in SKO produces effluents as by-products of their processes. As such, these effluents are to be monitored as per environmental regulations, mainly the Environmental Quality Act (Industrial Effluent ) Reg . 2009.
• The allowable limit approved by DOE and PMU for Oil & Grease discharge into the Malaysian waters (<12NM) is 40ppm.
• Any upgrading work of WTP shall be informed to BSE/3 for getting an approval from DOE prior proceeds with the construction activity.
• The overall responsibility for managing effluent discharge falls to: – Terminal Head of Operations:
• responsible for managing, controlling and improving the overall effluent quality.
– Field Engineers/ Operation Supervisor
• Monitoring the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) performance and ensuring that the quality of discharged effluent is within PCSB stipulated limits.
• Ensure preventive or corrective maintenance related to effluent discharge e.g. sumps, basins, drains etc.
