Concurrent or Simultaneous Operations
▪Are they the same meaning or do they mean different processes?
▪How can the operations of one well site have the impact on another
wellsite (unintended consequences)?
▪ Are the series of pictures an example of concurrent or
simultaneous operations?
▪Ponder what potential hazards or impacts can these operations
have?

Concurrent vs. Simultaneous Operations
Oper. 1 Oper. 2
Oper. 3
Simultaneous
Two or more operations potentially
conflicting for resources or
interfering with one another’s
activities creating unanticipated
risks or outcomes.Solve through hazard identification and risk analysis
Diego Marucco – Simultaneous operations risk assessment.
Concurrent – two or more
operations performing at
same time
Concurrent

Simultaneous Operations Risk Assessment Process
1.Identify additional hazards introduced by concurrent then
simultaneous operations
2.Assess the relevant level of risk
3.Verify adequate control measures are in place
4.Brainstorm potential additional risk mitigation measures
recognizing residual risk from concurrent operations.
5.Include recommendations to embed controls into “Permit
To Work” processes
6.Verify the communication systems and MOC processes
to validate controls
The Team always includes multidisciplinary members to
acknowledge and share experiences and hazard
recognition.

Management of Change
The ability to demonstrate understanding of
the change management process and what
actions are required based on results of the
assessment and the planned intervention.
Knowing these key aspects as follows:
▪ Which company’s MOC process is to
be followed on the site.
▪ What communication is required (up
and down).
▪ When an approval is required.
▪ Who has to review or approve the
change.
▪ When to utilize assistance from others
where necessary
▪ What documentation of the event is
required
▪ When, what and how to communicate
intervention requirements to others on
and off site

SIMOPS at Cenovus• Two or more work activities across an asset
• Occur at the same time
• Potential to adversely intersect causing unforeseen hazards
• Typically related to process, electrical and/or reservoir systems
• Crossover numerous worksite boundaries
