For any oil and gas condensate field to be developed and operated successfully, health, safety, and asset integrity are essential components. For our company, employee safety during procedures including H2S dangers, possible leaks, and traffic accidents is crucial. Our objectives are for all workers to return home safely and for production leaks to be completely eliminated. Adzhip Karachaganak B.V. fully pledges to promote an outwardly and internally effective HSE culture. We plan our health and safety initiatives by keeping tabs on global events and our own development. We compute the frequency of occurrences in man-hours over a predetermined amount of work. We are presenting our health and safety records from 2017 to 2022, with a particular emphasis on 2022. Graph 4 shows the total recordable injury frequency (TRIF)3 and the lost time injury frequency (LTIF)2.

From three in 2021 to thirteen in 2022, Adzhip Karachaganak B.V. experienced a notable increase in the total number of recordable injuries. In addition, there were seven lost time injuries in 2022 compared to just one in 2021. LTIF was 0.22 (compared to 0.03 in 2021) and TRIF was 0.40 (compared to 0.09 in 2021). The post-pandemic effect, an expansion in the job scope (including project delivery), an overestimate of the amount of risk, and an inadequate attention on safety are the primary causes of the rise in mishaps. In order to prevent recurrence, we look into every situation. We also use safety improvement techniques from other businesses and share incident lessons with our contractors and other relevant parties.

Peer comparison

Annually, we compare our primary safety performance metrics with those of other oil and gas producers as published by the International Organization of Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP). Every year, the IOGP releases HSE performance indicators.

HSE Promotion and Awareness-Raising Tools.

The mission of Adzhip Karachaganak B.V. is to promote an environmental, health, and safety culture. All scheduled HSE communication improvement actions and campaigns were 100% accomplished in 2022 as a result of the combined efforts of all HSE departments. There is now a quarterly HSE quiz where employees can test their understanding of fundamental HSE concepts and enter to win gifts. Employee awareness and timely communication were consistently prioritized through daily pop-up messages and frequent HSE moments that emphasized key concerns and offered best practices. 19 HSE moments covering a variety of subjects, including environmental care, road safety, intervention, and incident reporting, were released during the year.

Two online courses were created: “Life Saving Rules – Work Authorization,” which 3,647 employees were able to complete, and “New RoQ Eco-Code, Transition to Green Adzhip Karachaganak B.V.” which 3,985 employees were able to pass. A Safety Stand Down with all employees of the corporation and its contractors was organized in July 2022 with the theme “Incident Reporting” to emphasize the significance of promptly reporting any mishaps. There was discussion of a few actual instances of incident notifications being delayed and the ensuing bad effects.

For many years, the Annual HSE Forum has been a useful instrument for communication. Adzhip Karachaganak B.V. hosted an HSE Forum with its contractors in December 2022 to talk about the “role of the leader in creating an effective culture.” Senior executives from contractors as well as Adzhip Karachaganak B.V. attended the forum. The Forum’s goal was to collaboratively address contemporary problems and look for ways to enhance the Karachaganak field’s overall culture, which includes employee mental health, environmental consciousness, driving culture, and safety culture. To facilitate in-depth analysis of the core causes of deeply ingrained behavioral traits and cultural ideas as well as planning for improvements and prevention, the Forum includes group interactive sessions, team activities, surveys, and games.
