FIELD OPERATIONS PROJECT PLAN
UNIS
AG205
March 22-27 1999
Introduction and Purpose of the Project Plan.
The Project Plan is a document fulfilling the requirements contained in the Quality Assurance System of Field Operations to establish a plan for how the University of Bergen is going to execute the requirements of one or more seismic program(s) in the best possible manner. The Project Plan's main purpose is to communicate the properties of the operations and list Quality Critical activities to be performed in order to execute the planned seismic programs. The aim of this plan is to assist all parties to achieve the required standards in Quality and HSE.Structure of Project Plan.
The Project Plan is documented using six main chapters and each of these chapters serves the following purpose.Chapter 1.
Description of Operations.
This chapter describes the operations. It will provide references of the vehicles and the technique that will be used. Further this chapter will describe the area where the operations are going to take place and list properties and special attributes relating to infrastructure, (rigs, pipelines, roads) climate and conditions. (weather, temperatures). The timing of the operations will also be published in this chapter. The seismic work order (SWO) will be in Chapter 6 C together with any technique specific parameters of importance to the project.Chapter 2.
HSE risk analysis
This chapter contains the HSE risk analysis which is an assessment of the operational HSE risks (hazards) associated with the operations described in Chapter 1. The purpose of chapter 2 is to demonstrate that these risks have been analysed and further to act as an interface to the operations Safety Case. The fundamental risk-analysis will identify the HSE critical activities that need to be performed so that the seismic program can be executed at known an acceptable risk-profile. Furthermore, chapter 2 contains a summary of the "MOPO" - Manual Of Permitted Operations - which presents guidelines for UiB's adverse weather working policy for the duration of this program. For All Practical Purposes, the UNIS, SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR FIELDWORK AND EXCURSIONS & INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF FIELD EQUIPMENT is the overruling safety document.Chapter 3.
Organisations and contact numbers.
This chapter contains information on the organisations involved in the operations. This information is published by means of organograms showing UNIS and sub functions in the operation of the survey(s). All relevant names, addresses, telephone, Telefax, E-mail and telex numbers are contained in this chapter.Chapter 4.
Activity Checklist
This chapter contains the QA critical activities that must be performed as part of the planning. Each of the activities belong to a process as described in the Acquisition model, and responsible parties or functions are identified in conjunction with the activities. There are four main groups of activities: Field Operation Activity Plan ( Order acknowledgment) Logistical control and planning (Resource procurement) Asset scheduling ( Making goods available) Operation and mobilisation planning ( Delivery-planning)Chapter 5.
Contingency plans and emergency response.
This chapter of the Project Plan contains the contingency plans taking the emergency response requirements into account based on the nature of the operations as described in chapter 1. The plans will clearly identify main actions to be taken in case of likely emergency-scenarios. The central element of the contingency plans are the communication plans established for the various emergencies. For All Practical Purposes, the UNIS, SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR FIELDWORK AND EXCURSIONS & INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF FIELD EQUIPMENT is the overruling safety document.Chapter 6.
Attachments and appendices.
This chapter allows for the inclusion of other project specific information in the Project Plan.
Description of Operations.
1.1 GENERAL
The University of Bergen has been contacted by UNIS to perform a "High Resolution Seismic Survey" as Field Work for Seismic Data Acquisition for Course AG-205, during week no. 12, 1999. The survey consists of 2 possible 3, 2D lines(profile) over sedimentary deposits over the Moskus lagoon, Maelar dalen and possible Adventdalen. Before the final, specific seismic acquisition parameters can be set for the lines, a prestudy of source lay-out and configuration together with offset variations will be tested. Data will be studied in the field and analysed at the processing- "center", at UNIS. This will take place in advance of the Field Course.Main activities for the students will be to participate and follow in the various crew positions as well as experience various seismic parameter and effect on the acquired data. To give an understanding of survey planning including Helth Safety Environment and Quality are important parts of the Course. The total survey distance will be 2,5- 3 Km's. See attached map. 1st priority will be the profiles over Muskus Lagoon and Maelardalen.. 2nd priority is the acquisition of the Adventdalen cross profile.1.2 VEHICLES
1.2.1 Recording Vehicle
. The recording vehicle is is a wide track Snowmobile towing a sledge mounted recording and shooting instrumentation. The Recording equipment is a Geometrics 24 ch system. The Recorder (Observer) and the Shooter will both carry VHF radioes and advise the activity as the operation goes on. The radios cover the working frequencies between the crew in the party and also the emergency frequency. For further information, see Appendix A of the Safety Case.1.2.2 Source Vehicle
The Source Vehicle is , for this operation, part of the Recording vehicle. Timing Control and Firing Unit are installed in a heated chamber on the sledge. There is also a small generator at the sledge running power for batterychargeing and heater for the chamber. See Appendix I for further information1.2.3 Other Vehicles
Snowscooters are used by the crewmembers for operating in the various positions at the seismic crew as well as for transportation to and from fieldwork area. How to operate the snowscooters is covered in the general field course for students at UNIS. See Chapter 6 B.1.3 Acquisition Technique
The snowstreamer technique is based on a main cable for towing and carriers for the signals. The geophones are connected to the main cable with typical 5 meters between take-outs. The Geophone is a gimbal mounted geophone with the best physical parameters for the specific survey. Our system has one gimbal geophone(z)per take-out. The system is put together by cablesections each 125 m long.The snowstreamer cable is normally carried on and laid out from a streamerwinch mounted on a sledge. When the cable is deployed and located on the seismic line , as planned, we will start to shoot in the planned position. The Offset between source and first receiver group has to be established. All stations have to be marked with "pegs", which is numbered sticks along the seismic line. Station numbers will relate to shotpoint positions and receiver positions. When receiver noise has been checked and accepted and the shooter is ready (checked that shotposition is cleared for crew and animals) the shot will be fired and recorded. The shooting/recording sequence is operated from the RecordingVehicle, but the shooter can at anytime time abort the shot by a springloaded switch which he operates by hand.
When the recording of the shot is finished and accepted the Recording Vehicle will tow the Snowstreamer to the next receiver stations. At the same time a new shot will be prepared in the next shotlocation. Same sequence and same procedure as for previous shot will be carried out and the shot and recording will be done. The operation continue like that until the line is completed.
The Snowstreamer will than be pulled on to a sledge and/ or towed to the next line.
A typical 2D Snowstreamer crew using dynamit/shotholes as source is typical 13 persons.
- 1 Partychief
- 1 Ch Observer
- 1 Observer
- 1 Rec Truck Driver
- 1 Shooter
- 1 Shooter Ass
- 2 Surveyors
- 3 Source workers/ drillers/loaders
- 2 Support/Supply

1.4 COMMUNICATIONS
The Crew is equipped with VHF Radios and we have one working channel and one "emergency channel.In addition there are 2 GSM Mobil Telephones on the crew. Communication has been tested for the working area.
See Section 5 for further details on Contingency Plans and Emergency Response
1.5 TIMING
Mobilisation will take place in Longyearbyen 17th-21nd March 1999. The Field Course will be held 22rd- 26th March 1999.1.6 WORK ORDER
The Work Order for the Survey is enclosed. (Chap. No 6 C).
For Practical reasons, during this survey,The UNIS SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR FIELDWORK AND EXCURSIONS will be followed.
For All Practical Purposes, the UNIS, SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR FIELDWORK AND EXCURSIONS & INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF FIELD EQUIPMENT is the overruling safety document.
Safety Case cross-reference's
This list includes the hazard index number which can be used to cross-reference to the relevant entry in the *Hazard Register that is contained, in full, in Appendix B of the Operations Safety Case. There, the Hazard Register describes in more detail the various aspects of each hazard.

The Partychief is responsible for verifying the suitability and completeness of the emergency procedures. The Partychief is also responsible for ensuring that the emergency response facilities and materials as specified in the emergency procedures are available and fit for purpose at all times.
The following charts have been established to ensure that communication between the Field Crew and the Base in the event of an emergency is clearly specified.
To summarise, the primary responsibility for all emergencies lies with the Partychief contacting the Base and/or medical facilities. From there all appropriate assistance can be called upon.
The seismic field data will be acquired using a 120m mini-streamer with single vertical geophones every 5th meter.
Source experiments will be performed before the seismic lines are shot applying different explosives placed to
surface.
Interpretations of the seismic data should give valuable geological information about the structures and the
thickness of the fluvial fans and unconsolidated sediments above a solid basement.
