RLG has a longstanding relationship with this integrated oil and gas E&P company. In this case, their leadership looked at their drilling activity in this major shale oil field and found too many inefficiency and risk events during facility construction. These were driving up both cost and duration and urgently needed attention.
Calling on RLG to provide a team to help, their focus was three-fold.
- find a way to move risk and uncertainty back into planning,
- reduce execution inefficiency through Lean project management, and
- overcome the execution bias to learn from experience and continually improve.
RLG worked across the construction team using Project Excellence (Px™) tools to improve planning, optimize scheduling and organize execution.
