in order to improve performance. The system should provide the tools for reporting and distributing
lessons learned and best practices.
Every person involved in the project should be familiarized with the key documents that constitute the
FES system:
• Roles and responsibilities description: Detailed description of duties and items specific to
operations.
• Daily reports: Templates used to record properties, activities and values.
• Weekly reports: Template used to examine performance and take appropriate action if it is
falling short of achieving the objectives.
• Lessons Learned: Template used to track and report lessons learned and suggestions for
improvement.
• Drilling Practices: Specific practices that affect the FES performance. The key element is
effective communication between team members to implement the plan and provide feedback
about results and possible improvements.
• Personnel skill assessments and training matrix: A template summarizing the existing pool of
skills among personnel in the project, the minimum proficiency requirements based on the
project scope and the plan to develop each competency.
Data is recorded on a daily and weekly basis, with the reporting format being tailored to the
operator’s needs. Where Baker Hughes Drilling Fluids is also contracted to handle the waste
management, a reporting structure is put in place to track the waste from the rig to its final disposal or
recycling point, regardless of the manner
of process being used. The aims are to ensure a complete
audit trail, give accurate volumes, and conform to ISO 14001 requirements and to provide a
methodology for waste reduction.
