RANIWORO SHIPMENT REPORT

Report Date: June 2010

Azhari Buang HSEQ Manager Far East

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to identify the root causes of the incident and to take corrective actions to prevent recurrence. NOV Brandt Far East operations currently has no specific documented process or guideline pertaining to shipping of goods into Indonesia and its other locations. Generic information relating to shipping of goods from Singapore office can be found in Quality process map, QP-OP-SHP-01, Rev 2. This information was supported by a number of process activities and control points. Although, much of the existing documentation can be used as a guide for NOV Brandt Far East operations, it is recommended that specific documentation related to specific operations should be created, implemented and maintained with the focus of being fit for purpose for NOV Brandt Far East operations with the ultimate aims of efficiency and ease of use. This report presents a preliminary assessment of the incident and the findings are based on the chronology of the incident compiled by NOV Brandt Jakarta/Balikpapan personnel. This report has been prepared to the best of my knowledge. The incident happened when Brandt equipment were being held at Surabaya port customs for some documentation issues (shipping documents). This resulted in the delay (for about one month) of mobilisation of these equipments to Raniworo rig. Due to this delay, the job was not awarded to us thus resulting in loss of revenue and man-hours.
