Strengthening Digital Transformation of Rigless Well Intervention Through ROSE Platform, Driven by Well-Planned Strategy and Business Objective Alignment

Abstract

Rigless well work intervention is at the forefront of field production cycle that integrates production optimization, reservoir monitoring plan (RMP), well maintenance, and well integrity. It is imperative that the oilfield provides efficient rig less planning, monitoring, and optimization, despite of dynamic challenges of field operation, that non only ease the business workflow but also attract opportunities, improve resources utilization, and optimize operational cost. To this end, the integrated online platform of rigless operation schedule entry (ROSE) provides a collaborative access for all stakeholder to streamline planning and scheduling of rigless activities and resources. Rigless well planning was traditionally conducted in manual basis using an excel spreadsheet. Without data integration, well input was sourced in scattered from different data bases that requires significant man hours to develop the plan. Furthermore, an extra effort is exerted to adjust or revise the plan and not easy for tracking and optimization. Progress or actual reports were communicated in email or shared folder to concerned stakeholders i.e., Development, Operation, and Well Integrity that is deemed not practical. ROSE is developed as digital solution where all rigless activities and resources are synchronized in one platform, provide all stakeholders an easy access and data extracting. ROSE also facilitates an automated well recommendation as a feed of rigless scheduling from RMP automation, PIES business plan, and well integrity workload. The integrated online platform of rigless operation schedule entry (ROSE) has been built to integrate rigless well plan, provides collaborative input and enhance rigless packages utilization. The platform provides user friendly features to initiate, revise, and optimize the well plan. ROSE proves an improvement of 20% in rigless package utilization by rigless operation clustering that translates to potential cost saving $1.2MM per year for an asset. In addition, it generates an automated report feeding to several business performance KPIs. The platform streamlines communication workflow which reduces emails and reminders and saves thousands of manhours spent in manual scheduling that otherwise can be allocated to other essential well operations. Development of ROSE is driven by the philosophy of do more with less with data integration and collaborative work at the core of its development. The platform is maintained simple with an easy interface for user to develop rigless well work plan. Yet, the system provides high visibility of overall rigless plan throughout the year and support realization of well operational business plan.
