RLG International Results Stories
A Success Story at a US Oil and Gas Company
Strengthening Overall Safety Culture
Key Objectives
This rig is considered by many to be the pride of the company's drilling rig fleet. Over the past few years, the rig has drilled several world record wells. The company asked RLG to come aboard to work with the team in an effort to strengthen the rig's front line leadership and its overall safety culture. RLG was introduced to the rig in June 2006.
The rig achieved a major milestone of five years with no Lost Time Accidents (LTAs) in late 2006, followed by no recordable incidents for one year in April 2007. On April 17, 2008, the rig passed two years without a recordable incident.
The rig had one small reportable spill in 21 months.
During the project, the drilling team was able to complete 30 wells at 76% to AFE.
