Getting your team up to speed on why things are executed in a specific way along with the risks and success factors associated with the drilling plan, invariably leads to better results and reduces instances of the “wrong” reaction to a problem. In a complex well scenario with a high day rate issues can quickly get out of hand, leading to significant cost impact on the drilling program and a reduction in overall project value in NPT terms.
