This Russian drilling contractor, already among the best working for the oil major, sought to boost their drilling efficiency by 10% over 6 months. With RLG, they targeted two major areas: leadership skill and style, and processes and tools. Both the drilling rig and office were included in the improvement initiative.
Project Highlights
- RLG’s TMP™ (Theoretical Maximum Performance) process introduced as the performance optimization tool — 7 TMP™ sessions with 170 participants generated 150 performance improvement actions
- Process mapping for complex operations improved both the efficiency and ownership of key tasks
- The time spent on 6 of the most complex operations dropped by 27%, with one dropping 65%
- The rig culture changed to one of continuous improvement as everyone became engaged
