The highlight ofthe visit was a common understanding ofthe current state and a common approachtowards the goal of a fully utilizedintegrated collaborative system toefficiently manage the complex andchallenging reservoir and productionsystem. KOC delegates left immenselysatisfied with the quality of the discussions,the commitments of all parties and thealignment of the endeavour towards thefull realization of the vision.KOC leadership delegation visits SIS HQ inLondon and Technology Centre in AbingdonA delighted KOC – SLB Group in front of SIS HQ, London“The system allows the team to be really hands on”Interview with Les Hoftmeister (FDG)Les Hofmeister is a Consultant in the KwIDFJurassic Collaboration Center, and a keyplayer when it comes to workingcollaboratively. He has been working in theCenter for the last few months, and nowelaborates on how KwIDF Jurassic and itssystems is changing their ways of working:“Qasem Dashti (Team Leader Gas FieldDevelopment Jurassic - West) and NouraAl Mai, (FDG Production Optimization UnitLead) have really been instrumental inguiding the systems integration”, says Le.“We now have a “state of the art” I-fieldsystem, with all the real time data you couldpossibly want from the field, “which helpsus make decisions faster, reduces‘downtime’ in the field and improves ouroverall resource managementeffectiveness.”It is also important to ensure employee’scapabilities support the use oftechnology. What has been the impactof KwIDF Jurassic on the team’sprofessional development?“Learning and development for the KwIDFJurassic system is a continuous process andthe tools are the best possible to undertaketheir roles and learn from them. The systemallows the team to be really hands on. Theyare able to pull up all the available data indetail and review with Senior Engineers todevelop their understanding and improvetheir ability to manage well production.UD’s are able to collaborate more easily toimplement testing or corrective measureswith PSG. These activities are all a key partof the learning and development process.”What benefits have you seen in relationto your team’s objectives for productionoptimization?“The KwIDF Jurassic system enables us tohave a more balanced production profileacross the entire field. We are able to“visualize” the data which helps to “paint apicture” of what is going on, and zoom into data to understand where productionis coming from. It allows us to controlthings more easily, makes it easier toevaluate performance, enhances our abilityto conduct effective end to end reviews,implement the necessary change andidentify areas for future study.Its integration with Electronic Well IntegrityManagement System, (EWIMS) will allowfor a safer working environment for ourstaff and contractors.Realization of benefits will be anevolutionary process, using data alreadyin play to better inform decision makingon future requirements, as therequirements for asset managementchanges.”PAGE 6Kuwait Oil Company
