The
Rapid Efficiency Exchange (REE)
is a portal for sharing successful stories in improving efficiency and common
industry challenges. Response has been positive so far with over 50 case studies of how companies are working
smarter, innovatively and co-operatively. By accessing the portal, companies can find out how:
• Maersk Oil adapted an inspection technique for scanning flexible hoses, which is forecast to reduce costs by
more than 80 per cent over the next five years.
• Performance Improvement People used behavioural diagnostic tools to improve communication and reduce
duplication of work within a project team dedicated to extending the life of a major North Sea asset.
• Wood Group deployed a remotely operated aerial vehicle to inspect a derrick during well plugging and
abandonment, avoiding an estimated three-week shutdown and saving over £1.5 million.
• Perenco applied pipe-in-pipe technology to reinstate mothballed pipelines in six months, less than half the usual
time and at a cost of £2.2 million, cheaper than conventional methods.
• The Clair joint venture team completed a turnaround in 58 days instead of 108, adding around one million boe
to the field’s production.
• Halliburton has installed a vendor-managed inventory machine in its Aberdeen workshop to dispense fast
moving consumable items such as personal, protective equipment, abrasives and glue. This gives technicians
controlled access to these goods and saves them time, avoiding trips to stores or raising requisitions. The average
consumable spend has dropped by almost 60 per cent.
