Typical AMEC Asset Improvement Approach:
Chose one or more target assets (surface issues predominate)
Form a joint team with clear objectives & KPI’s
Provide coaching/training support
Facilitate brainstorm sessions
Identify what we know and don’t know
Agree key issues, risks & opportunities
Review production losses/choke model &/or trend data
Action Energy Assessment, Control & Operability Surveys
Agree quick wins
Implement together
Share & celebrate success
Repeat cycle
16
Typical Review Outcomes
Increased awareness of asset specific constraints
Many myths eliminated
Workarounds captured and challenged
True constraints documented and challenged as conditions change
Process interdependencies mapped out and mitigated
Critical equipment re-prioritised for urgent repair
More controllers in auto, fewer process trip inhibited
Lower alarm rates, less operator distraction
Improved and more regular well testing
Better daily optimisation “on the day” - increasing oil won
More efficient use of available power
Higher average water injection rates leading to more oil
Improved water quality and lower gaseous emissions/C02
All leading to higher production efficiency and higher revenues
17
“Can we Measure Benefits Delivered?”
Yes, results of our work on an asset are usually immediate & obvious!
More oil, less flaring
More stable plant
Fewer alarms

ISC – Key features
• Highly integrated joint contractor/customer organisation
• No man marking, common tasks and targets, company personnel working for contractor
management and vice verse, soft issues given the same priority as “traditional” performance
measures, continual improvement embedded in the culture of the team.
• Performance assurance is driven through scorecards
• Integrated Asset performance scorecard with true win-win orientation.
• Multi location (front office/back office concept)
• Work done at the most cost effective location with extensive use of e-technology.
• Full spectrum of ISC services
• Comprehensive range of services provided by the ISC allows for maximum dilution of overheads.
• Highly focussed delivery philosophy
• Excellent delivery is a team expectation; all delivery failures are investigated to determine
learning opportunities.
• Benefits to Customer
• Open book on commercial and all delivery aspects
• Significant increases in efficiency, both on and offshore, throughout the duration of the contract
led to the client extending the contract duration.
• Campaign Maintenance: the aggregation of assets has enabled campaign maintenance to be
introduced, leading to savings of up to 30% on specific maintenance routines.
