A report on the Brainstorming Session on Drilling Surface Activities held at Shillong

from 08th

June 2011 to 11th

June 2011

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The first brainstorming session on Exploration of Oil and Gas Field was held from 15th

to 18th

March, 2009 at Kaziranga, Assam. Subsequently, the second, third and fourth sessions were

held at Shillong, Guwahati and Kaziranga on “Development, Management and Monitoring of

oil and Gas field”, “Workover performance” and “Enhancing Performance in Down hole

Drilling Activities respectively during July 2009, February and May 2011. In line with these

earlier sessions, fifth Brainstorming session on Drilling Surface Activities was held from

08th

June 2011 to 11th

June 2011 at Shillong where a total of 21 participants from Drilling,

Production, Drilling-TS, G&R, Transport, Civil, Electrical, S&E, Administration, Security,

Chemical, Land, Field Engineering department were brought together in common platform to

deliberate on issues related to enhancing performance of Drilling Surface Activities.

Under guidance of B.P coaches, deliberation /discussion were held in various sessions with

the objective to find out practical solutions to enhance the drilling performance. All the

participants took active part in the discussion and came out with ideas in five different areas

and the same were presented to Director (Operation) and other senior officers on the final day

of the session i.e. on 11.06.2011.

The inaugural session was graced by ED (Operation), G.M (Drilling) and Head-FE.

Mr. K.K.Nath, ED (Operation) highlighted deteriorated performance of the drilling activities

and challenges faced by OIL. He expressed that the basic objective of conducting the session

at the outdoor location is to be free from all hassles of respective workplaces and focus on the

objective of the session. Strong support by the Corporate Management is the indicator of the

importance of the sessions. He said that being a Navaratna and Listed Company should not

make us complacent and the real challenge is sustainable growth. He called upon the

participants to focus and work-out what needs to be done to foster co-ordination between 37

odd departments of OIL to achieve drilling target. Maximizing Reserve Accretion and

Optimizing Production being the motto, he called-upon the participants to find out ways and

means to improve drilling performance.

Mr. Arpon Barbora, G.M (Drilling) said that of-late the drilling target of the company has not

been met which is an area of concern. The challenge for the group is to sit together and

analyse the reasons for failure and find out means to improve it. Saying that small things add-

up to great achievements, he said that time-saving in all surface operations is the essence and

asked the participants to work on it.

3

Mr. T. B. Chakraborty, Head–FE, called upon the participants to stress on root-cause analysis

of the breakdown for repetitive type of failures. He also called upon participants to advocate

for ETP in place of traditional age-old system of laying pit water disposal lines. He expressed

that at the time of raising P.R, specification of the critical items should be vetted by Field

Engineering Department. He said the need of the hour is not to do different things but to do

things differently. Stressing upon the concept of projectisation of jobs, he said that the start

and end dates of the jobs are to be fixed. He also called upon the participants to thrust upon

real teamwork and relationship management by sitting together and dialoguing to find out

what needs to be done. Calling the participants as the best resources, he wished them good

luck.

The brainstorming session concluded on 11th

evening and culminated after a presentation on

the ideas generated during these four days of brainstorming session to Director (Operations)

and other senior officers of OIL. All the ideas and views that emerged out of the discussions

during the four-day brainstorming session is complied and documented in this report.

AREA-II: RIG DOWN-ILM-RIG UP

The above activities involve all operations related to rig down after completion of production

testing, rig movement to the forward location and subsequent rig up.


IDEAS GENERATED:

IMPLEMENTABLE IDEA 1: Benchmarking of each phase of cycle time to be carried

out.

The basic philosophy of benchmarking of each phase is to ensure speedy and timely and

safe completion of all the operations related to a particular phase. In case of elapse of the

desired time frame, necessary corrective measure can be adopted accordingly.

WHY WE NEED: To fix a target and reduce cycle time.

EXPECTED RESULTS: Faster Rig-down, ILM & Rig-up.

induction, equipment specifications are also affected by the maintenance factor.

WHY WE NEED: As of now, OIL do not follow the equipment maintenance /replacement

policy.

For procurement of spares/services in case of emergency/breakdown, the procedure of

procurement is time consuming.

IMPLEMENTABLE IDEA - 1

Preparation of written standard Operating procedure for all drilling practices


A standard Company specific operating procedure for each and every drilling related

activity is pre requisite for smooth executions of any operation. Although the same being

carried out now is based on work experience and expertise, it leaves space for

improvement and it involves certain safety hazards. Besides the present practice has

tendency to become person specific with varying level of output for the same activities.

In view of this it is felt that a written document in the form of a standard operating

procedure should help in the form of a guideline for cost effective trouble free

38

operations which will lead to enhancement of productivity. Initial guide line in the form

of written document can be liberating because it imbues a different kind of thinking to

start with. It gives people space to think about operations and making instant decisions

combining his own skills.

WHY WE NEED

Standard operating procedure helps to carry out all the operation smooth and in a

standardized manner.

For better well management during drilling.

For introduction of uniformity in operational practices.

Written standardized operating procedures will include:

o Operational steps for each drilling activities.

o Drilling processes and problems, their management and remedies.

o Information on risk & safety of each activity.

Standardization of operation procedure.

IMPLEMENTABLE IDEA - 2

Introduction of the advanced technology, like top drive system, solid control system,


Advantages of Top Drive system are manifold and are of particular help while drilling

through extended shale. The point has been deliberated at other forums also. An experimental

service initially on hiring basis may be thought of as first step in a deeper well to actually

asses its numerous advantages. Similarly advantages of an advanced solid control system are

mandatory to drill a quality deep hole with minimum reservoir damage and minimal surface

environmental issues. Presently we are already using LMSS in selective wells. Same should

be a general practice for all wells. Concept of zero discharge system should be on the agenda

in a phased manner.

WHY WE NEED

• Advanced technology like TDS, solid control system will result in quality hole in

lesser time.

• A quality hole with quality cementation would result in better productivity.

•

EXPECTED RESULTS

• Quality hole in less time.

IMPLEMENTABLE IDEA – 3

Improvement of the well site work culture.

Although it must be conceded at the very beginning that our work culture still stand

among the very best of all public enterprises, it has been acutely felt that there is a scope for

further improvement. It is observed that disciplines in our organization are stagnating at best if

not improving at all. Furthermore due recognition in time for the right person as well as

assessment of skill and competency level for work persons are deficient from satisfactory

level. Accordingly a third party source may be thought of for skill and competency assessment

for all and recognition and development upon the same. A more accountable work

environment at well sites with specific assignment may be thought of.

AREA – IV

ENVIORMENTAL AND STATUTORY

ISSUES

49

Environmental and Statutory Issues.

HSE plays a vital role in the industry today. Failure to comply with statutory HSE

guidelines and beyond, many a times leads to closure of wells by statutory bodies and public.

As a result drilling activity is adversely affected.

Realizing this important function, a thorough discussion in this brainstorming session

was done in HSE and other related areas and a common understanding was arrived to address

key HSE , PR ,Security and related issues.

ISSUES:

The issues that were discussed in length during the session are as under:

Environmental clearance to be in place for all locations released till date.

1. Acoustic enclosure to be provided in generator /power pack engines

2. ETP (Effluent Treatment Plant) to be in place at all drilling wells.

3. HDPE Lining to be provided in all the wells before spudding.

4. Compulsory drill site restoration.

5. MVT (DGMS Issues)

6. PME (DGMS Issues)

7. Safety of Contractor personnel (DGMS Issues)

8. Implementation of Audit recommendations (OISD Issues)

IDEAS:

The ideas generated during the session are as under:

1. Land value payment should be made before ILM.

2. Consideration of appropriate representation from producing/future exploration areas in

direct and indirect employment.

3. Thrust in Pro - active CSR activities rather than reactive.

4. Reduction in implementation time of Projects under CSR.

5. All CSR activities/initiatives should be circulated/ informed to Installation managers

and Field going Executives.

6. Mass publicity of CSR activities with specific reference to Operational areas.

7. Minimizing Road traffic accidents involving OIL vehicles

8. Quick response team (QRT) to be introduced to reduce reaction time.

9. Introduction of Security Intelligence cell.

The following issues require further studies:

• Reclamation of abandoned wells.

• Land acquisition on Lease.

• Timely implementation of Field Development plan.

• Camp accommodation for far flung locations.

AREA-V

PROJECTISATION

60

AREA-5 : Projectisation of Drilling surface activities.

Projectisation means- Collaborative approach, careful planning, research & design to

achieve specific objective.

CONCEPT

1. The process starting from land acquisition to production testing can be carried out as

project with proper field development plan in place. The accountability and authority

should be fixed.

2. Projectisation may be carried out in parts as follows –

(a) Preparatory services: Land acquisition, contract preparation and execution.

(b) Rig-down, ILM and Rig-up.

(c) Drilling operation.

(d) Production testing

3. It may be executed by in-house resource or outsourced either Rig-wise or area wise.

IDEAS GENERATED:

The following ideas were generated for projectisation of Drilling surface activities:-

A. In-house : Rig wise (As a whole)

Rig wise (In parts)

Area wise (As a whole)

Area wise (In parts)

B. Outsourcing : Rig wise (As a whole)

Rig wise (In parts)

Area wise (As a whole)

Area wise (In parts)

61

WHY WE NEED

To establish the concept of projectisation and to initiate the feeling of belongingness.

To have better Collaboration.

Forward location not available in time.

Rig idling time is increasing.

Proper tracking of job progress is not in place.

EXPECTED RESULTS

Timely availability of forward locations.

Adherence to TDP.

Reduction in Rig idle time.

Increasing operational efficiency by proper planning & documentation.

Minimizing decision making time.

SUGGESTED ISSUES:

A. The projects (in-house) which were found suitable/successful in short term may be

applied to rest of the Rigs or Areas in the long run subsequently.

B. Similarly, the projects (outsourcing) which were found suitable/successful may be

extended in the long run subsequently.

C. All activities right from release of location to production testing need to be

benchmarked

PRACTICES TO CONTINUE:

1. Outsourcing of drilling operation from Rig down, ILM, Rig up & Drilling

completion.

2. Present practices of drilling well outside MPA like Amguri etc. may be relooked

and continued.

6.0 CONCLUSION

“Sustainable growth” for any industry, how big it may be, is the need of the hour. For

achieving sustenance, three prime factors play a major role i.e. People, Profit and Planet. In

order to maintain sustainability, we need to be proactive, generate new ideas and think out of

box by brain storming and orienting various thoughts in a linear motion.

This brainstorming session was held for finding out practicable ideas for its implementation

with an objective of “Reduction in Surface related problems for reducing cycle time of

drilling operation”. Recent analysis of drilling performance indicated that the cycle time of

drilling operation has increased considerably due to various surface problems and

conventional way of working since years together. The team for brainstorming was selected

from a multidisciplinary group of people from various departments. The group was divided in

to five teams. Each team brainstormed on different related issues primarily focusing towards

practical solution and generating implementable ideas with action plan which can lead to

“Reduction of cycle time in drilling by solving surface problems”.

This document contains ideas generated, benefits which will accrue, why required and the

practicable action plans with time frame for five areas such as 1) Preparatory services 2) Rig

down–ILM–Rig Up 3) Operation Phase 4) Environmental and Statutory issues 5)

Projectisation. All these areas focus towards achieving the targeted goal as mentioned above.

Implementation of above ideas will definitely pave the way for achieving the real benefit of

the brainstorming session which will manifest in our drilling operation thus increasing

efficiency.

Further deliberations and discussions at higher level may be required in certain cases to

address the intricacies in a more effective and objective manner. The group strongly feels that

the thoughts and ideas generated in the session if implemented in its true spirit will definitely

go a long way for realising our committed & co-created vision of improving drilling cycle

time by reducing surface problems.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The participants of the session are extremely grateful to Mr.B.N.Talukdar, Director (E & D)

for initiating the idea of the brainstorming session and providing a truly learning experience

for the participants. We would also like to place on record our sincere gratitude to the OIL
