Day 1
Well Project and Risk Management Principles
Risk management principles review; hazard, risk, uncertainty, variability, risk management
On the first day, we will define what is project management in drilling as well as the link to risk management.
Project Management
- The project plan: clarity on mission, objectives, and value
Time and cost estimation: understanding and reflecting uncertainty in realistic estimates
- Management of Change: the challenge of ensuring value – decisions not decision trees
- Contracting: selecting the right contracting approach for different services and materials
- Supply chain, logistics, and operations base: getting materials and services to the well at the right time cost-effectively
- Financial management: funding and accounting
Management review: how to ensure that audits and management interface assures safe and responsible delivery of the project mission
The second day will focus on the essentials of a drilling project planning which is resource planning, time and cost estimation, contracting and supply chain.
Day 2
Tracking Progress, Well Planning, and Operations
- Well PM software and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): monitoring the project using value-focused KPIs; discussion of PM software, management reports, continuous improvement, benchmarking, technical limit, and KPIs
- Task progress and phase close out: ensuring early identification of potential differences in outturn time or cost to permit value-based decisions
- Well planning – Pre-drill data requirements: the site survey and shallow hazard analysis, and how this sets the stage for success
- Rig selection: on the basis of hull type, station-keeping, generation, market, crew competence, and management system
- Riser and conductor design, shallow hazards: well construction in the top hole sections
- Casing program and the mud density window: how the setting affects well design and how this is managed
The third day will focus on the essentials of a drilling project technical planning which is pre-drill data requirements, rig selection and other technical engineering design.
Operations Management and Risk Management in Action
- Contingency plans: ensuring that these are complete and meaningful
- Emergency response: how this fourth element of process safety is assured.
- Operations management: applying decision-making, technical limit, communications, in the Execute Stage of the project.
- Applying risk management tools: how a variety of tools are used to manage risk throughout the project
- Catastrophic review: what should we be learning from the event? Analysis and key factors for focus.
The fourth day of this course will focus on contingency and redundancy planning, process safety will also be discussed and operations management principles will be briefly described.
Day 3
Project Success Factors in Wells
- Project success factors: sources of value, development skills, key factors in successful projects
- Human factors in well projects: understanding how human factors are key in both driving success in the project, and in managing risk, in planning, execution, and learning: Situational awareness, Decision-making, Competence, “Taking the time to do it right”, Managing change, Communications.
- Final exercise: creating a springboard for continued application of project & risk management principles in future projects.
last day of this course the participants will learn how to achieve success in drilling execution based on proper planning from the 4 previous days. Finally the elements of continuous improvement initiative in drilling execution project will also be covered.
