Unconventionals

Working with an upstream producer seeking to improve performance in its water operations, we helped identify changes in procurement, pad and network operations, and organization structure to enhance safety and reduce costs by 15 percent.

We supported a North American onshore operator in applying a design-to-value approach to pad design that delivered safety improvements, a reduction in site-preparation time, and savings of $400 million in total cost of ownership across basins.

In serving a large operator with strong performance that still faced cost pressures, we helped introduce best practices in procurement and contracting to deliver savings of $500 million per year in capital expenditure.

For an engineering and construction firm seeking growth opportunities in the North American unconventional oil and gas value chain, we helped to identify three targets and develop strategies designed to boost annual revenues by up to $1 billion.

To help a national oil company grow tight-oil production and meet its drilling targets, we worked to eliminate unprofitable fields, debottleneck the supply chain, and upgrade contracting, enabling the client to ramp up drilling from five to 100 wells per year.
