Doing more with less:A framework for effective equipment integrity assurance

摘要

Operators have been forced to make staffing cuts and postpone any non-urgent work until it can be completed without risking the health of their workforce.Looking ahead however,there is a need for essential drilling activity to continue to maintain current levels of production and meet future demand.With operators in survival mode,now more than ever they require innovative solutions and approaches to achieve desired results within tighter margins.According to Rystad Energy,global oil and gas capital budgets could be slashed even further by $100 billion during 2020,a number that could rise to $150 billion if low oil prices persist into 2021.Worryingly,recent data suggests this has increased risk.Lloyd's Register recently surveyed operators responsible for well integrity assurance and found that as many as 35% admitted that their wells delivery process was ineffective at reliably managing risk and preventing failures.
