Driving Performance and Well Delivery Accountability Through Improved Integrated Planning, Scheduling and Execution
Context and Challenge
Newly acquired shale development as key part of company’s growth strategy in emerging shale region
Challenge to integrate new organization and rapidly maximize value and return on asset investment
Performance not on track to deliver plan
Significant challenges with cross functional coordination, contractor HSE performance, lease status, regulatory interface, integrated activity planning, tactical pad delivery, and midstream coordination
Asset-wide well delivery targets were neither visible nor tracked in an effective means to understand status
Approach
Integrated approach working with cross-functional leadership team at asset head office and field-based construction and operations teams
Mapped end-to-end well / pad delivery process including complex regulatory interfaces and critical handover points
Developed well-by-well status dashboard with pad-specific milestone tracking, by function.
Deployment of Lean Pad Delivery framework and tool-kit in the field to improve facility construction cycle times, safety, and delivery costs
“The program was a great success but what’s really great is that not only have changes stuck since the Evolve team left, but we’re carrying on making more changes and more improvements.”
