2 Content 1. What is project management 2. Drilling project set up 3. Objectives of the drilling project 4. The triple constraints-time, cost, quality, safety 5. Managing constraints 6. Drilling project management plan

3 Definition What is project management???? application of processes, methods, knowledge, skills and experience to achieve the project objectives ICB IPMA Competence baseline Ver. 3.0 outlines required attributes/approach to project management

4 Drilling project set up Set up What is the organization of carrying out the drilling project e.g. is it a contractor or a gov t org. carrying out the drilling Gov t org Laws, statutes, ordinances, directives, regulations, budgets, and policies Contractor independent in operations e.g. procurement

5 Drilling project set up cont d

6 Drilling project set up cont d

7 Objectives of the drilling project Drilling project aims at drilling the wells within:- Cost Time Quality Set safety standards When the above is achieved Success is realized

8 The triple constraint Typical Project Drilling Project Quality Quality/Safety

9 Managing the triple constraints A balance between the constraints has to be established Proper time management may control cost in most cases Aim to drill a quality well safely,timely and within set cost Does slow or fast drilling compromise the other constraints +vely or vely????

10 Managing the triple constraints cont d Time can be managed by breaking down all the drilling activities from start to finish ---> Scheduling

11 Drilling project management plan Integration of the following plans:- Interested parties management plan Project communication plan Procurement plan Contract plan Quality plan

12 Drilling project management plan cont d Interested parties management plan Identify interested parties e.g. external and internal External gov t, donors, IPPs, community etc. Internal top management, drilling crews, geoscientists etc. What are their expectations?? How do we get them involved into the project??? Participatory approach

13 Drilling project management plan cont d Project communication plan Who is to receive information on the project What information is to be passed level of detail When is the information going to be relayed Confidentiality of information Management of meetings:- Preparation for the meeting The conduct of the meeting Reporting the meeting Follow up of meeting deliberations

14 Drilling project management plan cont d Procurement plan Gov t organizations have to follow set regulations - lengthy process Elaborate plans need to be in place to deal with breakdowns - emergency procurement. Break downs are not planned Proper inventory to be kept to plan ahead from rig spares, rig tools and equipment to drilling materials, PPEs Identify in advance suppliers of specialized tools and equipment have a running contract if possible

15 Drilling project management plan cont d Contract plan Some of the works and services contracted in a drilling project include running of casings, casing cementing, wireline operations (logging), directional drilling, supply of fuel and cement etc. Legal department involved in drafting the contracts The contracts should be closely monitored for their expiry and if need be renewed in good time to maintain continuity Proper communication during contract execution written form preferred

16 Drilling project management plan cont d Quality plan Quality degree to which inherent characteristics fulfil the project requirements (ICB 3.0) All the four (4) phases (surface, anchor csg, production csg and liner section) in drilling of wells must fulfil set quality standards set SOPs must be followed e.g. maintain right torque for casings The project team should participate in management of the project quality create awareness Permanent organization sets the quality management practices If quality is overlooked project objectives may not be achieved
