Definitions

• Qualified Suppliers List: a list of suppliers considered acceptable for a product or service after an initial assessment, which involves a thorough evaluation of the supplier's quality management system, manufacturing capabilities, and technical expertise.
• Purchase Order (PO) & Contract Agreements: a Company document that makes reference to the technical and commercial requirements of what is being purchased, outlining the Scope of Work, performance specifications, and payment terms in a clear and unambiguous manner.
• Purchase Requisition Form: a document initiated by the engineer to identify the need for equipment, relay information such as type, quantity, specifications, and quality surveillance requirements, ensuring that all stakeholders are aware of the expectations and requirements for the procurement process.
• Quality Assurance (QA): the supplier's management process that ensures the quality of the final product, involving a set of procedures and protocols to monitor and control the production process, including inspection, testing, and validation.
• Quality Control (QC): the supplier's operational process of inspecting and testing individual components to verify conformity with requirements, aimed at detecting and correcting any defects or non-conformities before they become major issues.
• Quality Control Plan (QCP) / Inspection Test Plan (ITP): a document that specifies the processes, procedures, and resources to meet the requirements of the General Specification or a specific project, outlining the scope, schedule, and resources needed for quality control activities.
• Quality Management System (QMS): the supplier's system that directs and controls an organization with regards to quality, ensuring that quality objectives are established, and quality policies, procedures, and resources are in place to achieve those objectives.
• Quality Surveillance: the Company's process of monitoring to ensure that Quality Assurance and Quality Control of suppliers are properly implemented and controlled, involving regular audits and assessments to verify compliance with quality standards and regulations.

Purchase Requisition Form

• The Purchase Requisition Form is a tool that helps communicate between the engineer and the purchasing department, providing a clear and concise description of the equipment or services required, as well as any specific requirements or specifications.
• The affiliate Drilling & Wells engineer should be accountable for identifying the equipment potential failure consequences, ensuring that the procurement process takes into account the potential risks and impact of the equipment failure on the project.
• The Purchase Requisition Form should be completed before diffusion to all potential bidders, providing a clear understanding of the requirements and specifications, and allowing for informed bidding and evaluation by the suppliers.

Qualified Supplier List

• The list of qualified suppliers for Drilling & Wells equipment is accessible through IQ-ALL platform, providing a centralized and standardized platform for managing and tracking supplier information.
• In the event that an affiliate / drilling & completion wishes to add suppliers to the list, a request should be made to TGP, ensuring that all relevant information and data are collected and validated before adding new suppliers to the list.

Quality Control Plan or Inspection Test Plan (QCP/ITP)

• The QCP should either be an existing QCP or a modified QCP from the supplier's existing model, ensuring that the quality control plan is tailored to the specific requirements of the project and the supplier's capabilities.
• The QCP/ITP should be agreed between Company and supplier prior to the start of any manufacturing, outlining the scope, schedule, and resources needed for quality control activities, and ensuring mutual understanding and commitment to quality.

Purchase Order / Contract award

• The final PO / contract agreement is reviewed by the originating engineer before distribution to the supplier / manufacturer, ensuring that all technical and commercial requirements are met, and any modifications or changes are properly documented.
• Any modifications requested by the supplier / manufacturer will also be reviewed by the originating engineer, ensuring that any changes do not compromise the quality, safety

Assessment of the equipment potential failure consequences

In conducting this assessment, it is essential to consider the potential risks and consequences of equipment failure, including the probability of occurrence and the severity of the impact.

• This annex is used to define the consequences of an equipment potential failure.

• The severity matrix is based on the Evaluation Matrix of Actual and Potential Severity Levels of HSE Events detailed in the CR-GR-HSE-801, which provides a comprehensive framework for evaluating the severity of hazardous events.

Quality Surveillance requirements

Upon completing the assessment of the equipment potential failure consequences, it is crucial to specify the Quality Surveillance requirements to ensure compliance with regulatory standards and minimize the risk of equipment failure.

• Using the result from the assessment of the equipment potential failure consequences, TL/D&W/SFP/QAQC or affiliate authorized to operate its own QA/QC services should specify the Quality Surveillance requirements.

• The Supplier Failure Risk of Occurrence should be calculated based on plant status, plant performance, manufacturing complexity, and plant experience with similar equipment, taking into account the unique characteristics of each equipment and its operating conditions.

Quality Surveillance Ranking

The Quality Surveillance Ranking is a critical component in determining the necessary Quality Surveillance requirements for each equipment.

• The Quality Surveillance Ranking is calculated by multiplying the assessment of the equipment potential failure consequences by the Supplier Failure Risk of Occurrence, providing a comprehensive view of the equipment's potential failure risk.

• The ranking is used to determine the Quality Surveillance requirements as per the table below, ensuring that the necessary measures are taken to mitigate the risk of equipment failure and ensure the safety and reliability of the equipment.

Quality Surveillance requirements table

    Ranking        Quality Surveillance requirement        
    No inspection and manufacturing as per GS        Between 1-4        
    Inspection for standard application        Between 5-16        
    Inspection for critical application        Between 17-25    

Affiliates authorized to operate its own QA/QC services

Affiliates authorized to operate their own QA/QC services should ensure that their quality surveillance activities are aligned with the requirements outlined in this annex, and that they have the necessary expertise and resources to comply with regulatory standards and industry best practices.
