Semi Alliance continues to outperform

Challenges

After the success of 2020, Deepsea Nordkapp, one team continued improving their operational performance throughout 2021, setting new benchmarks for drilling operational efficiency while minimizing the environmental impact by reducing CO2 emissions.

How proNova empowers Aker BP

Based on the continuous monitoring of drilling operations in real time with proNova and adopting the “One Team” strategy, Semi Alliance were able to identify the operational areas to be improved. Drilling crews focused on the components of Drilling Weight to Weight Connection Times, which includes Weight to Slips Time, Slips to Slips Time and Slips to Weight Time. Apart from Drilling KPIs, also Casing and Tripping Slip to Slip Connection times were closely monitored. In the quest of becoming the best performing rig of the Aker BP fleet, and thanks to the continuous efforts of the drilling crews and their focus on performance, the overall efficiency was improved. During the campaign, an incredible new Weight to Weight (W2W) Time world record was set at 1.65 minutes and a huge reduction of 767 tons of CO2 emissions.

Results

Actual Savings accumulated in 2021 alone equals to 4.61 days.

For 2022, the targets are set based on the best well average for the selected KPIs. With these targets in place, in 2021 a total of almost 1.7 days of savings potential was identified.
