Shallow hazards monitoring while drilling riserless integrates numerous live-data feeds to enable the early detection of adverse drilling conditions which may have not been fully mitigated or which were not prognosed, with the intent of facilitating a timely response before the situation becomes unmanageable.  The integrated observations recorded in the Shallow Hazards Observation Log also facilitate end-of-well reporting, post-drill reviews and the assessment for potential hazards as they pertain to the next well to be drilled in the area.  The planning and execution of a proper monitoring effort requires dedicated observers and monitoring standards.  This presentation will expand on the above topics as they have been developed over the last two decades and applied at BHP.
