Integrate to Simplify
As exploration and development
activity moves into ever
more technically challenging
environments, including deep

IPM Integrated Services (IS) project success leads
to rapid project development
The first exploration well was spud in August 2010. The exploration
campaign started with one 1,500-hp drilling rig, expanding
to two in March 2011, when the client added a second
exploration rig. The drilling campaign quickly developed into
a field development campaign with a third drilling rig added
in March 2012.

In less than 2 years from spud of the first well, the operations
production wells were drilled, completed, tied in to surface equipment,
and ready to produce.
IPM achieves objectives with 40% well cost reduction
Operations continued uninterrupted and had low nonproductive time
(NPT). In fact, NPT relating to Schlumberger performance was less
than 2%. The operations total well cost was reduced by 40%
and the completion design was customized for project needs
in preparation for the clients first producing well, which was ready
in January 2012 (four months earlier than planned).

Interdisciplinary synergy brings benefits for all
Throughout the drilling program, multidomain experts in an Operations
Support Center (OSC) in Houston worked with the onsite team,
the ISPM, and Tullow, sharing real-time data via a secure online
collaboration system. This enabled a combined approach to problem
solving and led to efficiency gains. One of the many instances
of this was the bit optimization in tight windows and unconsolidated
formations. Working together, Smith Bits and Schlumberger drilling
services produced an optimal combination of hole cleaning
and hydraulic horse power for drilling longer intervals, thereby
eliminating costly tripping.
