Reducing the Cycle Time From Rig Release to First Gas
Context and Challenge
New shale play development encountering long cycle time delays from rig release to first gas
Challenges in materials availability and traceability
Lack of rigorous integrated management across functions
Engineering and supplier problems not communicated, resulting in repeat issues in field execution
Approach
The project was organized into three themes, each with a clear set of milestones
Project led by client team members and involved a cross-functional set of participants
Began role modeling cross-functional collaboration and driving cycle time reduction improvements across the asset
Creation of feedback loops and consolidation of checklists paved the way for further improvements
“For me, Evolve reaffirmed the need for people to have a purpose and to align individuals with the team. It takes more than a great process to get results; it takes people who are switched on and who see the difference they can make.”
