1.2 General
BP is committed to conducting its business in a manner which ensures that wells are designed, drilled, completed and maintained to high and consistent standards. BP's drilling and well operations practices are defined in the Engineering Technical Practices (ETPs) and this document. BP will comply with all relevant laws and regulations, and will be sensitive to the balanced economic and environmental needs of the community. Sound engineering Judgement and Governmental regulations may require that operations be carried out to standards exceeding these requirements.
To ensure that we meet these objectives, BP has adopted the Operating Management System (OMS) which defines our expectations for identifying and managing safety, health, environmental and operational risks. Strategic Performance Units (SPUs) are responsible for ensuring that their management and control systems satisfy the requirements contained in their Local Operating Management System (LOMS), comprising:
- OMS Framework
- Group Defined Practices
- Group Recommended Practices
- Segment/SPU Defined Practices
- Segment /SPU Recommended Practices
- Local Site Operating Procedures and Practices
SPUs are responsible for integrating the drilling and well operations practice requirements with the other elements of the corporate governance framework, such as supply chain management, process safety and integrity, and legal policy requirements.
