Improving your Development & Production Operations by Incorporating Best Practices

Ziff Energy's benchmarking process provides an actionable and effective tool, not only by highlighting cost savings, but also by identifying 'best practices' from those fields that have a particularly strong performance in a specific cost area.  Many of the Best Practices we have identified have broad technical application.  These practices have been gathered from a wide variety of companies and address perennial operational issues such as:

Best Operating Practice Topics Previously Analyzed:

Onshore: Artificial Lift Evaluation & Optimization, Power Management, Alliances, Field Operations, Corrosion Control, Drilling/Completions, Frac Stimulation, Inland Water Transportation, Liquid Loading, Salt Water Disposal, Gas Plants Performance
Offshore: Staff Organization/Labor, Sub-Sea Operations & Transportation, Energy Management, Surface Repair & Maintenance Programs
Both: Field Level Operational Excellence, Well Servicing, Surface Facilities/Maintenance, Well & Facility Automation, Chemical Programs, Compression/Rotating Equipment, Asset Management Team Structure & Job Duties, HSE Audits & Best Practices, Root Cause Failure Analysis Programs
Production Efficiency: Well Surveillance Processes, Workover Processes, Completion Processes, Artificial Lift Failure Rate Reduction, Production Optimization

Our highly experienced team collects practices information from operators through field questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and field visits.  Ziff Energy focuses on best practices relevant to the 'high impact' areas where the client's performance gaps have been identified via the cost and efficiency benchmarking study.

Best Practices Workshops

To introduce our findings on Best Practices, Ziff Energy specialists conduct workshops – multi-client or single client – focused on case histories on leading practices and successful key operations related to specific challenge areas.  Potential topics of discussion may include: Optimizing Field Performance, Compression & Rotating Equipment, Field Automation, and Chemicals & Treating. Clients always rate the workshops as highly valuable. Multi-client workshops provide unique opportunities for networking with industry peers.
