The essence of Project Management is that Superior Performance Design perform the function of a fully integrated engineering and subsurface department for our clients whether it be seismic acquisition, drilling new wells or well abandonments .
The Well Delivered — On Time, On Budget, With No Surprises
Well project management is not administration. It is the continuous process of keeping a complex, multi-party, high-stakes operation aligned with its technical plan, its budget, and its safety case — while responding to the things that the plan did not anticipate, because there are always things the plan did not anticipate.
SPD provides integrated well project management for new drills, workovers, abandonment campaigns and well interventions. Our project managers are engineers first. They understand what is happening downhole, they can interrogate a contractor’s NPT justification, and they know when the programme needs to be adapted versus when the rig team needs to be held to the plan.
What Our Project Management Covers
- Well planning, programming and regulatory approval management
- Contractor selection, tendering and technically precise work scope development
- KPI framework design and active contract performance management
- Logistics planning and equipment lead time management to eliminate waiting-on-equipment delays
- Daily cost tracking and financial forecasting against AFE
- HSE compliance management across multi-jurisdiction operations
- Simultaneous operations (SIMOPS) management across multiple rigs
- Structured lessons learned capture and well-on-well performance improvement
For Operators Without In-House Project Management Capability
SPD provides the full function — from basis of design through to operational close-out and post-well review. You do not need an internal well project manager to run a safe, efficient drilling programme. You need ours.
