Testimonials
John’s emphasis on rigorous planning has resulted in tangible and measurable results in the area of drilling and completing wells. A true step-change.
...substantial improvement in product delivery and resultant reductions of inventory. The catalyst for these new processes was the Strategic Planning workshop lead by John de Wardt.
His insight into the oil and gas industry is invaluable, and his knowledge of best practice in manufacturing has added measurable value to several of our investments.
We have seen significant improvements in results and have adopted the principles in our planning and operations efforts.
John de Wardt provided us with a straight forward, hard driving, no nonsense approach to strategic planning that is still helping us define and achieve new business goals.
His recent corporate strategy development work resulted in a set of strategic initiatives that are already beginning to deliver value only a few months into their implementation.
Case Studies
One of the fastest offshore gas developments.
Sangu achieved first gas only seventeen months from the Field Development approval and just over two years from the discovery by Cairn. Cairn and its co-venturers were able to remain on schedule with the field development notwithstanding the many problems caused by the difficult operating conditions that are a feature of the Bay of Bengal. This is the first project to develop and supply gas from the Bay of Bengal into the domestic market of Bangladesh. Cairn and its co-venturer Halliburton jointly undertook this project that included sub-surface modeling together with the design and construction of the wells, platform, pipeline and onshore plant. DE WARDT AND COMPANY organized this multi-discipline, multi-location team and implemented management processes that aligned the team to very aggressive goals through their Lean Hydrocarbon Development program.
Multiple projects achieve Best in Class
Lean Drilling has been applied to many projects offshore Norway. The plot on the right shows the results from three projects with different challenges benchmarked against other N Sea results. These wells were drilled with different operators, different drilling contractors (and rigs) and to a large degree different service companies. These results show the ability of the Lean Drilling program to consistently differentiate the performance of our clients against their peers.
