09:00 - 12:00 Workshop A: Innovation & Solution Finding Workshop 1: How To Generate Strategies To Drill Lower-Cost Wells

Overview:

This workshop is designed to help teams generate novel options to solve their most diffi cult problems. You will be introduced to two idea generation methods, with case history examples of how they have been used in practice. To reinforce the learning experience, the group will then apply one of the methods to a key issue the industry is facing “how to drill lower cost wells”.

At This Workshop You Will Learn:

Two new idea generating methods to apply to your strategic thinking to get results in reducing costs
How to generate novel solutions to operational problems to get quick results
How to prioritise the ideas generated and action them Allowing You To Leave Able To
Apply the idea generation methods to save costs during drilling operations
Come up with novel options to save time and money in the long term
Work with your team to constantly develop new ideas to enhance project economics

Workshop Leader:

09:00 - 12:00 Workshop C: Strategies And Technologies That Allow You To Push The Boundaries Of Extended Reach Drilling

Overview:

As you will hear from case studies in the conference, Extended Reach Drilling (ERD) is reaching new world record lengths. This workshop will help you evaluate the risks and show you how to make the correct selection of rig and down-hole technologies as well as identifying the key challenges associated with Extended Reach Wells (ERW).

At This Workshop You Will Learn:

How to accurately evaluate extended reach projects’ potential prior to implementation
Strategies for applying a risk-assesment framework that will minimize challenges and save long-term cost
How to overcome ERW design challenges to set new records for your projects Allowing You To Leave Able To
Implement the most suitable technologies for optimizing ERD
Identify potential risks pre-implementation and proactively

13:00 - 16:00 Workshop D: Achieving Optimum Health & Safety Using A Processed Decision-Making Framework

Overview:

The industry is introducing new technologies and higher-risk projects which come with increased health and safety risks. Combined with this is the differing levels of health and safety understandings between employees, contractors and subcontractors resulting in costly mistakes and operational shut-downs. This workshop takes a ‘page-to-practice’ approach to health and safety that creates a process framework that addresses the challenges of varying health and safety cultures to create safer decision making and more effi cient workplace.

At This Workshop You Will Learn:

The importance of decision making in the health and safety process
About the cultural challenges that exist in the work place that prevent optimum Health and Safety implementation
The latest training techniques that will result in high-safety standards for employees and contractor staff, minimizing costly accidents and operational shut-down Allowing You To Leave Able To
Identify problems in your existing health and safety frameworks
Reduce accident occurrence and prevent operational shut down caused by accidents
Design and implement a framework that overcomes cultural challenges
