Project Results
The surveillance center was commissioned in July 2014, and
moved to 24/7 operations in October 2014 to provide full-time
field support. The IWPP solution has increased collaboration between operations and engineering teams, with both now using common surveillance tools, and end-users continue to identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
Teams attend morning meetings and connect remotely to review upcoming operations activities and field issues requiring attention. The operations team in the field continues to manage realtime issue resolution, while petroleum engineers use the surveillance tools to review historical data and develop action plans for
resolving issues with problem wells. The teams use IWPP sur-
veillance solutions to share well trends and discuss any well performance issues on an exception basis.
The IWPP solution was implemented on 35 pads with 105 wells
in Karnes County as part of BHP Billiton's pilot program. As a
result, the well-to-technician ratio and overall operator efficiency improved by more than 400 percent, far exceeding the pilot
program's targeted 25 percent (Figure 4). Improvements to data
gathering and management are the greatest contributing factors.
With global positioning system tracking of each vehicle, dynamic routing and dispatching processes have optimized the necessary routes. Both data management and driving/routing optimization will continue to improve efficiencies, allowing additional wells to come on line without requiring additional resources.

tor field conditions. Shift supervisors went to a four days
on/four days off pattern, mirroring that of operations technicians,
and were officed at the surveillance center to provide additional support and foster more rapid issue triage.
Several other initiatives were formed in conjunction with the
IWPP to help drive change. Teams worked to enable an electronic run ticket process to eliminate the need for operations technicians to travel to sites to collect daily run tickets or manually measure tank levels. Additionally, a reporting project was developed
to help collect key data and automatically generate a daily production report, eliminating the need for manual collection.
These projects have proven to have more universal application
than merely in the Karnes area.
