Brief:

 

NDB was commissioned to create a system of technical guidance by a North Sea operator wanting to improve consistency and ensure more informed, quality decision making.

Methodology:

 

We were tasked to review all subsurface disciplines from geophysics to production engineering and identify best practice as well as more effective, integrated ways of working.

 

In response, we conducted a focused programme of research which covered, systematic interview, work sessions and detailed consultation with: internal subsurface technical staff, technical chiefs, external experts and key stakeholders across international offices.

Result/Impact:

 

The new set of technical guidance provided a wealth of benefits including, but not exclusive to: a framework for best practice, high level workflows, central hub for knowledge, improved risk management and resource mapping capability.
