Client Challenge
Production operations were dramatically changing with regard to size, technology, and complexity.
- Mismatched coverage to objectives and production levels
- Unacceptable safety and environmental risk due to lack of field coverage and burnout
- Over reliance on overtime and contractors
- Operators of different skill levels and practices working with limited oversight and integration across functions leading to chaos, added cost, inefficiency and frustration
Key Solutions Implemented
- New “Field Operations Model”, outlining day to day operations
- Risk-based well analysis with different coverage needs and shift structures for all assets
- “Foreman Area Teams” with dedicated Optimizer accountable for using automation to drive production
- New sourcing, interviewing and hiring processes and a two-week onboarding and basic training program
