TECHNOLOGY, DIGITALIZATION & INNOVATION
Society of Petroleum Engineers
April 20, 2021
Confronted by the biggest health and economic crisis, the oil and gas industry continue to be challenged by volatility in demand and oil
price. In the Wells business, projects continue to be challenged in terms of commercial, health, and safety. Whilst the health industry
races to find a vaccine, the industry and more specifically Wells, will need to be geared to recover and emerge stronger. In order to
achieve this, the Wells business will need to be able to deliver a safe, sustainable, and predictable outcome in everything that is done.
As each company works to achieve this on its own, there is benefit for companies to synergise through end-to-end standardisation and
simplification. But what is ‘standardisation’ in this context?
The ‘standardisation’ in the context of this workshop is about uniformity and consistency in how business is run eciently in order to
achieve the excellence mentioned above. The scope is not limited to equipment specifications, but how organisations are set up to
learn, adapt and quickly replicate best practices. Standardisation also means that every organisation is not trying to find cost savings
measures in unique ways, but rather gain eciency through rapid replication, with repeatable and simplified processes. Contrary to
popular belief, standardisation is also expected to accelerate innovation, and reduce risk in business. Modernisation in the area of
digitalisation has helped realisation of this theme, whereby people and organisations are able to better track, trace, integrate, and
deliver eectively.
Specific benefits expected to be gained through ‘standardisation’ involves all areas of the Wells business, such as drilling, completions,
HSE, intervention, and abandonment.
• Asset performance where unit cost per barrel can be reduced.
• Service providers can reduce the variety in equipment and service specification to focus on eective execution and lower downtime.
• Inventory reduction and easily reusable and re-sellable surplus equipment, thus, increasing economies of scale.
• Predictable well performance with examples of standardising the type of installed capital equipment as well as vendor’s tools.
