Technical Limits Program Streamlines Alaskan Drilling Project

The North Slope of Alaska poses many unique challenges that come with operating in a severe and harsh climate. In this difficult environment, the advantages of coiled-tubing drilling (CTD) are leveraged toward sidetrack/recompletes, instead of rotary drilling, because it is intrinsically quicker. BP Alaska and The REACH Group of Houston employed a variation of the Technical Limits concept to streamline operations. The use of CTD thoroughly tested the integrity of the Technical Limits program, but the BP Alaska leadership team was able to increase its focus on operational safety, plan more projects within a set time frame, gain efficiency in operational tasks, and achieve tangible and measurable dollar improvements.
