OISD STD 189

OISD STD 189  Standard on fire fighting equipment for drilling rigs,work over rigs and production installations


In the upstream petroleum industry companies are engaged in exploration and development of oilfields as well as production of crude oil and gas. It has been observed that most of the activities like drilling operation, setting up of GGS/OCS, GCP/GCS etc. are carried out initially at remote areas away from the thickly
populated locality. However, once the field is established, it has been observed that the area gets surrounded by population and small industries.



These causes hazards to the oilfield installations as well as to surrounding residents. For the protection of the costly equipment and the safety of the surrounding areas, it is important to install necessary in-built fire protection arrangement in the installations. It would be highly costly affair to build systems to control oil well blowout fire or any catastrophic fire situation at each drill site. Here in the standard, necessary minimum fire protection arrangements which are required to fight initial fire in the oilfield installations, workover rigs(WOR) and drilling rigs were included.
However, while making the system, due consideration should be given to the availability of nearby city as well as industrial fire services. It may not be possible to build/incorporate all these fire fighting systems in the existing oilfield installations which are already approved by the respective statutory authority long back. However, it is desirable to incorporate certain fire fighting system in these old installations as and where practicable and
acceptable to the management.
