Narrative:

Climbing through 13500 ft while hand flying the airplane we had a right engine failure. I applied left rudder and leveled at 14000 ft applied rudder trim and turned on the autoplt while the captain and relief first officer ran qrc items and checklist to secure the engine. We initiated a turn back after communicating with departure. I continued to fly the airplane while the captain and relief first officer coordination with ATC; flight attendants and dispatch in turn passing on information regarding our condition. After emergency checklists were complete we discussed the return approach plan in accordance with our departure briefing and elected to return without dumping gas after checking landing distance.
