The TPL of the DIPM Department leads the development of a known well drilling, workover and intervention project from conceptualization to approval to hook-up and cut-in by organizing a multi-disciplinary project development team to work-up assigned projects to a state of execution readiness. The role encompasses project planning, resource consideration, risk identification and management and stakeholder engagement of multiple well projects.
During planning the TPL ensures the choice of optimum well targets and comprehensive well design options and geological prognoses. The TPL leads the collaboration with relevant groups to accomplish a commercially viable well, with an appropriate drilling program based on sound geologically-referenced, drilling assessments, using available subsurface geoscientific and drilling information. The TPL ensures readiness of all civil works-related activities prior to pad acceptance.
During implementation, the TPL manages the adherence of the drilling operations team to the drilling program, including the wellsitting side of the drilling operations. The TPL ensues the provision of comprehensive technical assessments, as may be necessary, and recommends, together with the Project Planning team, Drilling Supervisors (DS), Senior Drilling Supervisors (SDS) and Wellsite Geologist (WSG), on the daily drilling, workover and intervention operations of all EDC operating fields, both local and international.
After rig release, the TPL ensures adherence to the agreed hook-up and cut-in timelines of completed well drilling, workover and intervention activities.
