Continuous ProcessManagement and

Standardization (PROC)

C

oordinated by Helder

Pinheiro, the third Propo-

ço program – Continuous

Process Management and Standard-ization (PROC) - will review the

management of current well-engi-

neering processes, especially those

related to standardization. It is struc-

tured in 5 sub-projects and will be

based on the actual needs of users as

well as critical tasks and will deliver a

less bureaucratic and fit-for-purpose

system. By reviewing the way ‘les-

sons learned’ are applied and non-

conformance events are handled, it

will improve the overall efficiency of

well-engineering processes.

Processes, Specialities andCritical Tasks PSCT Coordinated by Raimundo dos An-

jos , this sub-project focuses on map-

ping and validating different well

engineering processes. It also breaks

down the complex interaction andinterdependencies between these

processes so that they can be better

understood and managed from a

performance perspective. Typically,

such processes cover information

flow, well engineering specialities

such as directional drilling, the in-teraction between Petrobras and its

suppliers and processes linked to

critical tasks such as landing BOPs.

In doing so, Petrobras will be able

to clearly determine critical tasks,

different well engineering processes

and their interaction.

Process and Execution Standards and Standardization SystemCoordinated by Gilson Campos , this

sub-project will evaluate current

standardization procedures allowing

Petrobras to visualise where changes

are necessary. As a result the new

system will be tailored according to

the needs and specifications of well

engineering using software solutions

and flow-charts.

is sub-project will evaluate Petro-

bras’ philosophy of establishing and

using standards. is methodology

will be applied to all processes and

relationships that are associated with

the development of the detailed con-

tent of the well plan, the operational

needs of technical applications as well as knowledge levels of the user.

It will also evaluate the management

of standards in interfaces with tech-

nical service providers by considering

factors such as accessibility, updates,

common standards and responsibil-

ity. e new system will be adjusted

according to the needs and specifica-

tions of Well Engineering. is in-

volves a complete review of process

and execution standards, manage-

ment standards in well engineering

and will result in the restructuring in

format and/or content of standards.

Non-Conformance andFinal Well Evaluation

systemCoordinated by Pedro Paulo this

sub-project will evaluate existing

well engineering system in terms ofhandling non-conformance. It will

also evaluate suggested revisions

and their suitability of content fo-

cusing on dissemination, adjusting

standards and overall applicability.

It also evaluates the management of

non-conformance in the interaction

with technical service providers. It

seeks to adjust the non-conformancesystem according to needs and speci-

fications of well engineering. It also

provides a system for handling non-

conformance in well-engineering

whose format and content can be

reviewed where necessary.

Process Management Coordinated by Humberto Maia,

this sub-project will standardize wellengineering process management. It

will establish a process review system

which will be continually updated to

ensure that best practices are com-

municated in a consistent manner. It

will also certify the activity of process

management within well engineer-

ing. It will also identify and evalu-ate operational changes in wells and

best practices within process man-

agement. is will ensure Petrobras

benefits from performance improve-

ments as well as integrated and con-

sistent communications throughout

the well engineering community. It

will enable routine process manage-

ment tasks such as standardization,

auditing and diagnostics, VCT, tobe consolidated and become more

efficient.

Identification andEvaluation of Changes inWell OperationsImplementation of tools and meth-odology proposed by management is

based on pilot assets and well engi-neering interfaces, as well as variousstages: planning, design, programand execution. e sub-project willevaluate the impact and practicalityof the proposed tools and methodol-ogy and assess the suitability of toolsand risk analysis techniques pro-posed by management. e deliver-able will be methodology and toolsproposed by all Well Engineering

Project Management, Pla

Deepwater projects are be-coming ever more com-plex. Gone are the days

when risks were ‘known’ and highly

profitable giant fields could be de-veloped using conventional off-the-shelf technology. Large Oil compa-nies today face a series of deepwaterproduction challenges created bysmaller and more remote offshoreoil and gas fields, lower permeabili-ty, and at times, higher temperaturesand pressures also. In such circum-stances, it is vital for the Oil compa-ny to apply knowledge in three key

areas: engineering, new technologiesand project management.

A simplified scheme of a typical pro-ducing well in the deepwater Cam-pos Basin is represented in the figurebelow.

Internationally, Petrobras is con-sidered to be at the cutting edge ofdeepwater production technology as

well as new technology application.Illustrating this, Petrobras has twicereceived the coveted OTC (OffshoreTechnology Conference) Award forOffshore Deepwater Technology.

Petrobras has increased the use of

management tools across the life-cycle of the well in both exploratory

wells and producers. is enablesthe company to better handle theincreasing complexity, higher costs,risks and uncertainty inherent in

deepwater wells.

Project Management – Planningand Control is the 4th sub-project

within Propoço and will implementa formal system for the design andapproval of well-plans. e system

will be based on several key stages orgates such as Opportunity Identifi-cation, Project Plan, Basic Well Planand Executive Plan. From a manage-

ment perspective, the system inte-grates a wide range of factors such

ning and Control (PROJ)as scope, timescale, cost, quality,risk, team, supply/procurement andcommunication.

Supported by broad participationfrom specialised business areas, wellservices and corporate functions, thePROJ project team has produced re-sults such as the following:

- Defining Front End Loading (FEL)needs for the well and personnel re-sponsible for different stages or gatesof the well-plan.

International experience confirmsthat projects based on good reservoir

characterisation – seismic, rock andfluid analysis – linked with a detailed

well-plan, show fewer time and costdeviations. e sub-project will looknext at standardizing the contents ofall well-engineering documents.

Further results include:

- Predicting probabilistic demandfor well intervention. is allowsproduction assets to estimate re-source usage for example rigs thatare necessary to workover wells thatshow a drop in either productivity,or injectivity as in the case of waterinjectors.

- Planning and managing well cam-paigns within specific field develop-ments. Essentially this is a best prac-tices manual for well-engineering.

- Standardizing analytical proceduresfor well planning and construction.is enables costs to be allocatedproperly, increases the control of

performance indicators and identi-fies priority tasks thereby improvingprocess performance.

PROJ themes are shown below andare expected to be completed by theend of 2008.
