1 Introduction
1.1
Background
Changes to the setpoints of instruments that perform a function to moderate, control or
protect a process system or piece of equipment shall be controlled under Management
of Change (MoC). Additionally approval / authorisation to effect the change shall be in
line with the Discipline Control and Assurance Framework (DCAF) and risk assessed.
Requests for changes shall be processed through the Facilities Change Proposal
process in accordance with PR-1001a Facility Change Proposal Procedure.
1.2
Purpose
Trip and critical setpoints are determined during the Detailed Design phase of the
project. Changes in the operations of processes and equipment due to modification and
aging of the facility may require changes in these setpoints to be made. Such changes
require to be assessed by suitably qualified personnel to ensure the integrity of the
facilities are not compromised. This procedure shall ensure these requirements are
met.
1.3
Distribution / Target Audience

This procedure shall be referenced and followed by all PDO or Contract personnel who
see a need to make changes to trips and setpoints.
1.4
Changes to the Document

Responsibility for the upkeep of the Document shall be with the Functional Production
Manager UOP, the Owner. Changes to this document shall only be authorised and
approved by the Owner.
Users of the Document who identify inaccuracy or ambiguity can notify the Custodian
or his/her delegate and request changes be initiated. The Requests shall be forwarded
to the Custodian using the User Feedback Page provided in this Document.
The Document Owner and the Document Custodian should ensure review and reverification of this procedure every 3 years.

3 Settings Change Procedure

3.1
Scope
The scope of the procedure covers the changing of the setpoints of instruments that
are used to contain the operating envelope of the process or equipment and not those
that control within the envelope itself i.e. changes within the envelope that are used to
control how the process behaves are not subject to this procedure, but set points that
restrict or prevent operations outside of the envelope are.
Current information regarding trip and alarm setpoints is maintained in the SAP Master
Data and local databases such as the Instrument and Setpoint Register. Whenever
changes are implemented these sources shall be updated and must be consistent.
3.2
Procedure Description
In compliance with CP-206 - Management of Change CoP, Section 4.1.5 Changes to
Process Conditions, changes to set points, either up or down, shall require an MoC to
be raised. The MoC process in this case will be via PR-1001a Facilities Change
Proposal.
Although the change control process will be managed by the FCP there are a number
of other functions that will require to be completed before and after the FCP process is
initiated.
Justification for the Setting Change

Trip and alarm set points that maintain the integrity of design performance envelopes
are calculated by the design team or the manufacturer / vendor during the project
phase. These also take into consideration of the system or equipments function with
regard to the overall process of the facility as changing one can impact on the other.
Justification for the change will require to consider;
Current operating conditions;
Current design parameters;
Conditions U/S and D/S of the proposed changes;
Any manufacturer / vendor limitations on the operating envelope;
Future proposed modifications or tie-ins;
The justification should also include an estimate of cost for the work including materials
and labour (in man hours).
Costs benefits with regard to enhanced production or reduced downtime should be
included in the justification and should be presented as both long term and short term
benefits.
On completion the Production Coordinator and other key discipline should be consulted
to ensure the proposed changes are supported and should be carried out.

Effective: May-12
Facility Change Proposal

The set point changes will be sent to the FCP Coordinator (for the respective
Directorate) on the appropriate Request Form or using the electronic Web Based
application.
As part of the FCP process the changes will be risk assessed by the appropriate
disciplines at the correct Technical Authority (TA) levels (in accordance with DCAF).
In cases where the FCP requires to be fast tracked, this can be accommodated within
the FCP process. The FCP panel can sit, outside of the normal timings in these cases
and approve changes based on criticality.
Implementation of Changes
The FCP Coordinator will assign an FCP owner whose responsibility will be to ensure
the FCP is implemented correctly. The FCP owner can be a Project Engineer, a
Discipline Supervisor or any responsible person charged with overseeing the work.
Work that requires modification or changes to the remote control systems e.g.
Distributed Control Systems (DCS) or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
(SCADA) will be allocated to System and Operations Field Support, whereas
straightforward changes to set points could be undertake by field based or coastal
based engineering / contract or vendor personnel. It will be the responsibility of the
FCP owner to ensure this work is completed to schedule and the FCP is closed out.
Z6 Notification and Documentation Update

The FCP owner shall also be responsible for ensuring;
the Z6 Notification for the change is raised and processed through SAP;
the Plant Operating Manual is updated;
PEFS are red-lined for inclusion in next As-Built release, and;
the Instrument Setpoint Register is updated.
Temporary alarm inhibit or disablement

Any temporary changes to the alarm annunciation process (inhibiting or disabling)
should be routed through the e-MOC Temporary Alarm Change application
3.3
Close Out of the FCP

On completion of all works the FCP shall be Closed Out. Signatories for completion
shall be:
FCP Owner
Production Coordinator
FCP Coordinator / OxO2 (if required)
The FCP database will be updated accordingly.

Addendum 1 Changes at Revision 3.0

The document was last revised in 2007 and the format has since changed. The revised
document is in the new format.
Section 1 has been rationalised and all sub-sections that do not add to the documents value
have been removed.
Section 2 is now Roles and Responsibilities. The roles have been reduced because the
procedure utilises the process of PR-1001a Facilities Change Proposal during the main
review and approval phases.
Section 3 procedurally is covered mainly by PR-1001a. The proposer of the change requires to
prepare full justification for the setpoint changes and these will be used for the FCP when it is
raised.
The FCP owner will be nominated by the FCP Coordinator and will be responsible for ensuring
completion of the Z6 Notification, POM updates and Instrument Register.
The differences between this revision and the past document;
There is no longer the need for a specific form as the authorisations and approvals are
all covered in the FCP process.
The risk assessment will be addressed during the FCP process and be in line with
DCAF requirements.
More streamlined process.
More clarity for responsibilities.
Better audit ability and can be processed via a web form.
