“Improving time on the tools by 30 minutes can improve the cost performance of one project by a staggering $300 million or a significant portion of a future SAGD facility”
The foundation of productivity improvement on our job sites is acknowledging that we have a challenge to address and, not surprisingly, planning for productivity improvements and implementing field measurement protocols. Having the courage and conviction to properly implement tools such as:
- pre-mobilization assessments that sometimes delay mobilization when we are not prepared
- interactive planning sessions on a macro and micro level
- creating a baselined schedule (including milestones) and keep it as the baseline throughout the job
- workface planning followed up with field level implementation audits
- tool time observations
- productivity war rooms with regular standing dialogue comparing planned performance vs actual performance
- and most importantly having the mature conversation to implement corrective actions with all parties as required rather than blind acceptance and resolving ourselves to the Alberta situation.
