A selection of our project design & delivery results
Better affordability of oil sands projects
| We were contracted for 12 months to help the project teams focus on execution and improve project affordability. We produced: | |
| ► | A policy ensuring Execution experts are deployed during the Assess and Select phases and not just during Define. |
| ► | A process that required execution teams to identify and solve their major execution challenges as early as possible during the project. |
| ► | A coordinated contract strategy that gave the company better access to execution contractors across their entire project portfolio. |
| ► | We ran implementation health checks. |
Benefit – one mega-project beating the competition for a government grant on cost and plant design, and a project development community inspired to produce radically cheaper concepts.
Others:
| ► | Set-up of South Iraq gas gathering, Indonesia CBM, Oman EOR research centre, Jordan shale exploration ventures. |
| ► | Development and selection of Ivanhoe Rob Roy subsea concept. |
| ► | Development of concrete FPF concept for Norwegian sector. |
| ► | Subsea and subsurface FEED design for the Brage Field. |
| ► | Development concept selection for an unconventional oil project. |
| ► | Kashagan repeatability strategy. |
| ► | Contract strategies for a Caspian oilfield, Romanian refinery upgrade. |
Improved Mega-project's execution strategy
| ► | We identified and agreed 20 key execution challenges with the project team. |
| ► | Analysed the risk register and grouped the execution risks showing that the vast majority were related to the 20 key execution challenges. |
| ► | Set up teams with charters to address each challenge and delivered a “Deep Dive” workshop for one of them. |
| ► | Ran contract strategy workshops that reflected the execution challenges. |
| ► | Restructured the Project Execution Plan to focus on the key challenges and risks. |
Benefit – a concept with better execution, a fit-for-purpose PEP, a project team fully aligned on its execution approach.
Setting up a large Gas to Liquids venture
| We were contracted for 12 months to help the project teams focus on execution and improve project affordability. | |
| ► | We identified and prioritised the key challenges faced by the executive team responsible for setting up a Gas to Liquids venture in the Middle East. |
| ► | Together with the team we developed a plan describing all key activities until and beyond project sanction. |
Benefit – executive team focused and resourced on the key challenges.
Status assessment Ichthys LNG project
| ► | We performed a two week gap analysis using our DEEP approach. |
Benefit – project team focused on key execution challenges.
