Knowledge management, best practices, standard drilling instructions
We help companies increase the sharing of knowledge across their organisation with the implementation or review of best practices standards.
Techdrill has significant experience in writing, merging, and revising standard operating procedures.
- Our Experts have carried out several assignments writing Standard Drilling Instructions (S.D.I) for effective and best-practices.
- S.D.I.: A document to assist in well planning and operations contains Corporate Policies, Safety Rules, Best-Practices, and Knowledge Base.
- Local S.D.I per operating Unit and an add-on document to adapt the Corporate S.D.I to needs and requirements.
- The Standard Drilling Instructions contain the mandatory policies under which all programming and operations shall be executed together with guidelines on the methods to be employed in the execution of any Drilling Program. Additional sections contain advisory material on sound practices that should be employed to ensure safety, efficiency, and environmental friendliness as an integral part of drilling operations.
- The S.D.I provides management processes and reporting requirements. This document should be read and consulted by personnel involved in programming and executing drilling, completion and work over operations to ensure that there is conformity in all operations, whether in exploration, field development drilling, or completion and workover.
- When practices are modified, or when new practices are introduced that have been proven in the field to have produced beneficial efficiency gains, then these practices may be incorporated in the Standard Drilling Instruction Manual.
