Notification of Antibody Testing Protocols to Suppliers (XPAT)
Since March, ConocoPhillips has implemented safety protocols across our operations to ensure the safety of our workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of our continued efforts, we are beginning the next phase of our return to work plan for the Eagle Ford. In addition to temperature checks and screening questions, this phase will include a request for antibody testing for individuals who have traveled to a high-risk area in the last 14-days.
Effective June 10, all individuals visiting our Kenedy office, stabilizers, drilling rigs or other field operational sites will be required to review their 14-day travel history against a current list of high-risk Texas counties and Louisiana parishes. The list of high-risk areas is determined weekly using publicly available data sets. If an individual has recently traveled to a high-risk area, they will be required to take a COVID-19 Antibody finger prick test before entering the facility. The tests take approximately 10 minutes and will be administered by a qualified third-party provider. If antibodies are detected, individuals are required to contact their supervisor for further instructions and evaluation.
Our primary goal of implementing these additional screening measures is to continue to protect the health and safety of our workforce as we begin to return additional personnel to our field locations.
Thank you for your cooperation as we implement these procedures.
Tom Barnes, L48 Exploration & GCBU Wells Manager
