The same drill may not be repeated consecutively with the same crew.
(b)Recordkeeping requirements. For each drill, you must record the following in the daily report:
(1)Date, time, and type of drill conducted;
(2)The amount of time it took to be ready to close the diverter or use each well-control component of BOP system; and
(3)The total time to complete the entire drill.
(c)A BSEE ordered drill. A BSEE representative may require you to conduct a well-control drill during a BSEE inspection. The BSEE representative will consult with your onsite representative before requiring the drill.
