For production, through much hard work from our teams, we have
managed to remain on target for the year at 170,000 barrels of oil/day
and 185 gas cargoes.
A decisive factor in the strong gains, in both oil production and gas
sales, was lower unscheduled deferment levels, through business
improvement.
Please contribute your ideas and energies in the next phase of our
business improvement journey, which is BI 500, so that together we
can significantly raise our performance to a higher level.
I am also pleased to share with you that our major projects are
progressing ahead of schedule, including Seria North Flank, Bugan,
Mampak and the East Main Oil Line replacement.
We hosted an offshore visit by Pehin Major General (rtd) Dato Seri
Haji Mohamad, the Minister of Energy at the Prime Minister’s Office,
and Pehin Dato Lim Jock Seng, the Chairman of BSP and Second
Minister of Foreign Affairs & Trade. We also welcomed Malcolm
Brinded, Shell’s Executive Director for EP.
I was deeply honoured to participate in the working visit by His
Majesty to the Health Promotion Centre, which is was funded by
Royal Dutch Shell. I also had the privilege earlier of attending His
Majesty’s Hari Raya open house at the Istana, and visiting the houses
of many friends and colleagues. In addition, we also joined in the
events held in conjunction with Prince Charles’s visit to Brunei, which
revolved around the environment and our significant involvement
with the Heart of Borneo.
Sincerely,
Grahaeme Henderson

Their Royal Highnesses consented to listen to a briefing on the
forest reserve as well as habitat and forest ecological site by the
Forestry Director Awang Haji Saidin bin Salleh.
His Royal Highness The Crown Prince and His Royal Highness
Prince Charles were then ushered to view the joint exhibition
from Brunei Shell Petroleum, Brunei LNG, Forestry
Department of MIPR, Department of Environment, Parks and
Recreation under the Ministry of Development, HSBC,
Standard Chartered Bank, The British High Commission to

Million Trees project.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness
Prince Charles then proceeded to plant the 1,000th and 1,001th
Tulong trees at the designated re-planting site.
“I hope the tree I’ve planted will survive,” said the Prince of
Wales. The 1,000 trees reforestation project was an initiative by
the International School of Brunei (ISB), in support of HoB. It
has received full support from the Forestry Department to aid the
natural recovery process as a result of forest fires during the dry
season in the area.
The planting of the 1000th and 1001st sapling was a significant
milestone in supporting Brunei’s effort in recognising the HOB
initiatives.
are for the environment was extended to the
country level when in July 2007, Brunei Shell
Petroleum partnered with the Government of
Brunei on the groundbreaking, tri-country Heart
of Borneo (HoB) biodiversity conservation
initiative. The HoB aims to preserve 220,000 square kilometres
of rainforest across Borneo.
Taking off from this official pact, Brunei Darussalam has carried
out a series of activities to implement the environmental
conservation initiatives.
The most recent was the planting of the 1,000th and 1,001th
Tulong trees (Agathis borneensis) saplings at Badas Forest
Reserve area in Belait District in October by His Royal Highness
Prince Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah, the Crown Prince and Senior
Minister at the Prime Minister’s Office and His Royal Highness
Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales respectively.
Also in attendance was Her Royal Highness Duchess of
Cornwall.
The participation of these royalties demonstrated Brunei is
committed to help restore the forest continuity across Borneo.

Affairs and Trade (MOFAT) and Ministry of Industry and
Primary Resources (MIPR) as part of the activities lined up for
the initiative and for a two-day official visit by His Royal
Highness Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales to Brunei.

BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT IN ACTION
Empowering BSP staff to deliver
improvements - ‘BI500’
B
uilding on the success of the Business Improvement
Must Wins and the Lean “elimination of waste”
projects ongoing, a complementary improvement
programme “BI 500” was launched company wide
in October.
“BI 500” is the latest strategic thrust in the ongoing successful
journey to transform BSP into a consistantly Top Quartile
performing company; “the safest and most efficient energy
company in the world”.
• BI Programme to ensure mass delivery of
improvements across the business
• Registers TQ, Lean and Local improvements
• Complementary to BIMW
• Replicates Pakat and Industry best practice
• Visibility will promote blueprint culture
• Inclusive - open to all staff
BI 500 will encourage, recognize and celebrate continuous
improvement efforts by staff throughout the business. Grahaeme
Henderson, BSP’s Managing Director explains, “In our drive to
safely produce at the highest level and keep costs down, the key is
to do more with what we have. That means we must become
super efficient everywhere in the organisation. Our greatest asset,
our people, are mobilising to deliver these improvements
throughout the business. Their efforts will be recognized in “BI
500”.”
“BI 500” is a simple, online system for staff at all levels across BSP
to openly demonstrate and, importantly, be recognized for where
they are proudly contributing to delivering bottom line and
efficiency improvements.
It has been set up as an easy system for departments, teams of
work mates and individuals to register large or small
improvement projects (remember – small changes mean big
difference!), which are being delivered by them. Importantly, it is
not an opportunity register for improvement ideas to be delivered
by others!
08 SALAM
October 2008
• Real time recognition and reward tool
• Simple online portal and administration
“BI 500” replicates for BSP business improvement, the success of
Pakat in engaging the whole workforce to drive and embed a
world class safety culture in BSP and mirrors industry best
practise in generating systemic and continuous improvement.
“ BI 500 is a unique opportunity for our staff to personally take
action to increase their efficiency, remove frustrations and waste
in their daily working lives. They can be empowered to say to
themselves ‘I can make my work safer, or more efficient’ or “I can
save money’ or ‘ I can get more oil and gas production” and most
importantly get the satisfaction of delivering those improvements
themselves” noted Hj Zainal Abidin Mohd-Ali, Deputy
Managing / HR Director.
Improvement by EAST asset
in TQ mid-year review
By Hadini Zainal-Abidin (OPM/71)
P
roduction reliability and unscheduled Deferment in the East Asset has shown improvement in 2008. These were some of the
findings from OPM/53’s EAST Top Quartile Mid-Year Review team, led by Hj Mohaimin (EOP/1) and Yusrin Ramlee
(OPM/71).
The objective of the session held from 25 August to 5 September 2008 was to look back at current performance and identify
improvement areas. Recommendations to close the gaps were addressed and measures were set to enable East to achieve Top
Quartile (TQ) status for this year.
To reach TQ, East’s success will be judged by full year average performance or that in the final six months for Direct Unit operating Cost
(DUOC) and Production Reliability (PR) % of Oil and Gas. TQ target for PR% is 95% and DUOC is 1.7 USD/BOE
Some key findings of the review were:
• Production reliability is currently 96.8% against the end-of-year target of 95%. This is currently an improvement on the
93.9% 2007 Production Reliability.
• Unscheduled deferment is 3.1% against the end-of-year target of 5%. This is also currently an improvement when
compared to 5.6% in 2007. In fact, East achieved the best in class performance of <3.5% Unscheduled Deferment in 5 out
of the 7 months.
• Direct Unit Operation Cost is currently 1.85 USD/bbl against the end-of-year target of 1.7 USD/bbl. The DUOC for
2007 was 1.65 USD/bbl.
The TQ Mid-Year Review is also a means of coaching and building capability in the Assets and within OPM. The TQ team has made full
use of the lessons learnt from previous TQ After Action Reviews. One such improvement was to have a TQ refresher session prior to the
workshop so that everyone in the team has a grasp of what TQ is and the Methodology used.
These TQ sessions are held twice a year for each Asset and are essential in order to review the Asset’s performance.

BSP conducts Brunei’s first offshore
Controlled Source Electro-Magnetic
(CSEM) Survey
B
runei Shell Petroleum has commissioned the first
Controlled Source Electro-Magnetic (CSEM)
survey to be used in the offshore waters of Brunei
Darussalam.
The 3D CSEM survey will be conducted over a
deep-water prospect about 60 km northwest of the Champion
field survey some time between October and November 2008.
The work is being conducted by Electro-Magnetic
GeoServices (EMGS), using the vessel Siem Sasha. A single
streamer cable will be towed up to 1.5 km behind the vessel
and about 30m above the seabed. The streamer assembly
consists of an electromagnetic source array made up of
electrodes, transformers and a tailfin.
The CSEM vessel will also deploy a number of receivers onto
the seafloor to detect and record the electromagnetic energy.
The electro-magnetic signals from the source electrodes are
transmitted through the sub-surface and the potential
hydrocarbons. The returning EM energy is picked up and
recorded by the receivers on the seafloor. The receivers are later
retrieved and the data downloaded on the CSEM vessel for
processing.
Reciever being deployed into the sea
While deploying and retrieving the receivers, the vessel will be
nearly stationary and controlled by dynamic positioning.
While towing the transmitter, the Siem Sasha will follow predetermined straight-line courses and will be unable to turn
quickly.
CSEM surveying is a new, non-intrusive, cost-effective
technology being used by the petroleum industry to identify
the presence and extent of sub-surface hydrocarbons in order
to optimise drilling locations.

Completion & Well Intervention
(C & WI) VCE Workshop
I
n the journey to achieving outstanding performance, the
TSW/4 group is continuously seeking for improvement
in all its activities. Building on the success of last year’s
event, the group has once again conducted a Value
Challenge workshop, held at the Panaga Club’s Pelangi
Room from 14 – 15 October 2008. The workshop included a
forum where the group and its contractors, Asset Owners, and
other service departments reviewed 2008’s successes, examined
issues and blockers, discussing and agreeing on the opportunities
and ways forward for further improvement in 2009.
According to Ibrahim Abd Gani, the Head of TSW/4, there are
now 25 Wireline crews attending to the increasing wireline
activities, compared to only 14 Wireline crews at the beginning
of the year. To support the increased number of crews, TSW/4
has also purchased and rented additional Wireline units and
tools. Wireline has also started to embark on 24-hour operations.
The application of new technology in its Coiled Tubing (CT)
Operation has enabled the group to efficiently perform well
intervention campaigns. In summary, Ibrahim said that this team
has significantly contributed to production gains (where until
end of September 2008, the estimated annualized gains stands at
9,138 bopd)
number of floating resources to support the overall well
intervention activities. These feedbacks were culled from the
interactive poster sessions and syndicate exercises.
A syndicate session
As per the previous year, the captured values against ideas/
opportunities identified during the workshop were shared among
the participants. Furthermore, appropriate actions as identified
will be implemented as part of the 2009 work program. Progress
of the actions will be regularly tracked.
In summary, the workshop was a success as evidenced by the
good turn up and the very positive feedback from a majority of
the participants. YC Yong, the EPE/3 - Head of East Production
Technology said the workshop was excellent and further
suggested that it be conducted in August next time to give ample
time to work on ideas for coming year plan.
Ibrahim Abd Gani (TSW/4) addressed the participants
During the workshop, a number of critical blockers were
discussed. Significant attention was given to inefficiency due to
Wireline crews having to take daily trips to the scattered work
locations using the crew boats. Karim Shaikh, the WPE/3 - Head
of West Production Technology stressed that in the West the
matter is worse as significant time is wasted traveling between
locations due to the large spread of the facilities

Refinery attains safety achievement
of 25 years without LTI
B
runei Shell Refinery achieved a major milestone
recently when it recorded 25 years operation
without a single Lost-Time Incident (LTI) since it
first started operation in 1983.
Speaking at a ‘doa kesyukuran’ ceremony held to
mark this achievement, Managing Director of Brunei LNG,
Haji Salleh Bostaman Haji Zainal Abidin said, “It is this level of
Health Safety and Environment (HSE) commitment that has
put the Seria Refinery firmly in the pole position as having one
of the world’s best HSE performance record”.
“Besides achieving this world-class safety record, recently the
Refinery had also clocked 12 consecutive years without any
Total Recordable Case (TRC). This is truly a remarkable safety
performance since this TRC indicator records all reportable
cases including cases requiring first aid attention,” Haji Salleh
added.
Haji Salleh reminded Refinery staff however that “such an
achievement is not an end, but rather a benchmark for us to
remain vigilant and continuously maintain safe operation for
the next coming years.”
The Refinery started its CDU operations (Crude Distillation
Unit) in 1983 with the initial capacity to process 10,000 barrels
per-day of offshore light crude oil, which was used to produce
middle-distillates such as Gas oil (Diesel) and Jet-A1 (Aviation
fuel). In 2003, it was upgraded to produce 12,000 barrels per day,
and also supplies all the three grades of motor gasoline (Premium
97, Super 92 and Regular 85) used in the country.
Operated and led by Bruneians, Brunei Shell Refinery is both
ISO9001 and ISO14001 certified.
A total of 25 years withhout LTI was recorded by the Refinery staff

East 2009 CPCB Scoped
Document Signing
B
SP’s East Asset and SKS Wood marked a
significant milestone with the formal signing of
the East 2009 CPCB Scope Definition document
on 24 October 2008.
The East 2009 CPCB Scope Definition
document outlines all the high priority (Must Do)
maintenance and project activities to be executed within the
CPCB campaign window. Just as important is the fact that the
scope outlined in the document was directly derived from
SAP. Due to the challenges posed with regards to managing
both maintenance and project work, information use to reside
disparately in its respective silo.
The East 2009 CPCB Scope Defintion document outlines all the high
priority (Must Do) maintenance and project activities to be carried
out within the CPCB campaign window
20 SALAM October 2008
Now, with no small effort of the EOP and EEN community,
all the necessary campaign related information for CPCB has
been fully captured in SAP. As a result of this, meaningful cost
reports and tracking can be achieved via SAP.
SKS Wood were equally pleased and impressed with the
document as it facilitates their own efforts by committing on
paper a full view of the scope expected of them.
This document, the first of its kind to be developed within
BSP, is an initiative closely linked to the IAP initiative. The
IAP initiative is currently being piloted in East for eventual
roll-out to all the other asset units in Brunei Shell Petroleum.
BSP signs GFA agreement
with Honeywell
Hajah Rosmawatty Haji Abdul Mumin signs the agreement on behalf
of BSP for the procurement of Honeywell products and services
T
he Global Framework Agreement (GFA)
between Honeywell and BSP is the first
Main Automation Contractor (MAC) GFA
implemented in BSP, which will follow a
string of other MAC GFA’s to be
implemented within the next year.
The Honeywell MAC GFA is an all-encompassing
agreement between the two parties, which will provide all
Honeywell products, related services as well as a transparent
means of communication to the whole Operating Unit.
Signing the agreement on behalf of BSP was Asset Director,
Hajah Rosmawatty Haji Abdul Mumin.
This entails a migration of the way work is carried out on
the mentioned discipline from several reactive agreements
for different assets to one integrated agreement for all assets
improving efficiency and value. The GFA provides BSP
with preferential treatment and rates with the leverage Shell
holds worldwide. This agreement is localized and tied in
with Falah-Tek Sdn Bhd; the local representative of
Honywell.
With the implementation of this agreement, there is added
value for the wider community. Honeywell has committed
themselves to develop Falah-Tek Sdn Bhd and their
employees to carry out work in BSP by means of training,
exposure and transfer of knowledge. As part of BSP’s
aspiration of Local Business Development, BSP has also
committed to support Falah-Tek Sdn Bhd in their
development. This will see Falah-Tek moving from an
entity that supports Honeywell in the services provided to
BSP to an entity that will provide Honeywell services to
BSP.
