The petroleum industry is faced with a significant set of challenges that include: (1) accelerating the discovery of reserves; (2) improved exploitation of proven reserves, be it by shortened time to first-oil production or improved recovery; and (3) maximizing production to infrastructure capacity for brownfields. At the same time, the industry needs to recognize and address the shortage of skilled professionals and to accelerate the training and knowledge transfer to the younger generation of professionals and future graduates. Breakthrough team performance, described as changing the way that teams work and collaborate, is what the industry should consider adopting. It could help overcome the current set of constraints and amplify the impact that technical professionals can have on business results. This is realized by delivering integrated drilling and production operations, maximizing team collaboration to overcome resource constraints and accelerating the exploration process. This presentation will describe some game-changing technology and approaches that are drastically improve the way teams work and consequently the impact that they are having on the company’s bottom line. The real examples that are presented indicate that our industry is already well on its path towards breakthrough team performance.
