PREFACE This document defines the Technical Authority Framework in PCSB. It is one element of an overall system to ensure Technical Integrity of the assets and activities within PCSB. This document should be read in conjunction with the PCSB Management of Change (MOC) System Manual and Production Operations Management of Change (MOC) procedure manual. The fundamental Management of Change (MOC) principle is that recommended changes shall be evaluated, reviewed and approved at a level commensurate with the risks involved. The Technical Authority plays a vital role in the risks evaluation and mitigation. Hence, it is essential that competent staff are appointed to perform these tasks.

GLOSSARY Glossary of Terms, Abbreviations, and Acron yms Term

Description

AL ARP

As Low As Reasonably Practicable

Change

Any modification with potential integrity and business implications to facilities and/or previously approved documents, plans, procedures and processes.

Deviation

Discrepancy between a chosen solution and any specified internal and regulatory requirements.

Emergency Change

Change undertaken immediately to avoid, mitigate or control an HSE incident

High Risk Changes

High Risk changes must be approved by the General Manager and require an exceptionally strong justification over and beyond even very large lifecycle benefits. Approval requires extraordinary circumstances and appropriate consultation and endorsement by appropriate managers.

Low Risk Changes

Low Risk changes with clear lifecycle benefits, can be approved by the OIM or Functional Section Head. Changes that do not have clear life cycle benefits would be expected to require a strong justification

Medium Risk Changes

Medium Risk changes must be approved by mid-level management, (for example, impacted Asset Manager or Functional Manager, and would normally be expected to demonstrate very large life cycle benefits that clearly justify the risk. Medium risk changes require a very strong justification, and endorsement by appropriate supervisors.

Obviously No Risk

Obviously no risk changes must clearly demonstrate that no risk is involved and clear life cycle benefits exist. This category of risk is not meant to be used to by-pass the risk evaluation process. Only those personnel with risk assessment training and strong risk assessment experience can determine obviously no risk. Can be approved at the "Offshore Installation Manager" (OIM) level who has been trained to the knowledge level in qualitative risk assessments.

Permanent Change

This is a change that is intended to remain in place indefinitely

Process

The set of activities required to achieve an output. A preferred and controlled method of repetitively and reliably doing something, generally involving sequential steps, techniques and tools.

Description

Process Owner

See Attachment 2 for the list of process owners.

Technical Aut horit y (TA)

Required to evaluate and endorse changes associated with Low, Medium and High levels of risk prior to approval. Must be trained in risk evaluation methods. TAs' normally engineers with the required expertise in the applicable regulations, legislation, engineering and design standards, specifications and codes or key operations and maintenance personnel with the applicable expertise in equipment operation and maintenance procedures and production operations and processes.

Temporary Change

Change intended to remain in place for a specified period only, generally less than six months. Requires higher level of approval for each time extension

Urgent Change

Changes associated with time constraints that dictate prompt action to capture the expected benefits of the change or avoid significant negative business impacts. Normally these benefits and impacts would be associated with cost, schedule or other business considerations (NOT HSE)

Ap pr ov in g A ut hori ty As stipulated in the MOC process, the impacted Asset Manager(s)/Functional Manager(s)/General Manager(s) are accountable for approving changes at appropriate risks level for all natures of change.

2.3

A pp oi nt men t of Tec hn ic al A ut ho ri ti es There are two (2) levels of Technical Authorities i.e. Level 1 - Technical Authorities Are generally the most senior discipline staff; typically at principal and custodian competency level. High risk changes shall be endorsed at this level. Level 2 - Technical Authorities Are generally the most senior engineer/Subject Matters Expertise (SME); typically residing at the regions. Low and Medium risk changes can be endorsed at this level. When appointing the Technical Authorities the Capabilities Manager(s) shall be consulted prior to the formal appointment of the Technical Authorities and their alternates. A list of appointed Technical Authorities at level 1 and 2 shall be kept current at all times. This list shall be maintained and accessible through the appropriate Petronas Carigali web site. In the event that a Technical Authority is not appointed at the respective regional operations they can either first seek endorsement from technical authorities appointed elsewhere or perform the evaluation with a team of personnel that collectively meet the competency requirements for the evaluation. For Level -1 The respective Capabilities Manager shall keep the list of Appointed TA updated and current. For Level -2 The respective Technical Services Manager shall keep the list of Appointed TA updated and current.

2.4

Maintenance of the Technical Authority Framework The maintenance of this Technical Authority Framework shall be the responsibility of the manual custodian.
