Fearnley International Activities at SPE Offshore Europe

NON-PRODUCTIVE-TIME SOLUTIONS @ Stand 2i43 booth 14

Of course it is always better to prevent Non-Productive Time (NPT) before it happens … or the need to carry out the Failure Investigation to discover why?

Fearnley International do both – and want to share with you how, through some introductory discussion sessions at this years SPE Offshore Europe.

Our Engineering Team through Failure Investigations and Equipment Stripdowns continue to identify the Root Causes as to why Equipment Failures occur, whether these lead to Wash-outs and Twist-Offs or just to poor performance and Invisible Lost Time (ILT).

And our QAQC team – along with the Technical Specialist Group and our Quality Assurance Advisors – act as the ‘eyes and ears’ of Drilling Teams to prevent these failures from occurring in the first place – or re-occurring.

SO – As it is one of Fearnley International’s main objectives to share that information with end-users; in order to help make drilling projects finish on time; and on budget – through the provision of Non-productive-time Solutions – we are running short sessions of 20 minutes to give you a taster of how we manage that.

Topics: The following sessions can be conducted in small numbers 1 or 2 people. We will also be having three lunch time sessions for larger groups. Please let us know which you prefer.

Each topic has a reservation link so that you can choose when you want to come, just press it to go to the Doodle calendar. Or email Kevin Fearnley Jr or Paul Youdan.

1. API Q1 Q2 – Introduction Awareness Session.  Our Senior Quality Management Trainer and Auditor will guide you through the challenges that the introduction of this API specification and the benefits of its adoption to the prevention of NPT and ILT can bring. Plus the first steps in adopting it. Reserve Time
2. API Q1 Q2  – How it might effect your companies current QMS.  For those companies who already have a QMS, this workshop will go through how it can be adopted into your current systems and what a Gap Analysis can provide in order to take it forward. Reserve Time
3. Drilling Operations – Equipment Failure Investigation – How to Organise One.  It is traumatic enough when a Drilling Project undergoes an Equipment Failure that requires a Failure Investigation to be carried out. There are some key do’s and dont’s. This session will take you through what they are and how to prepare the damaged equipment, photographs and reports to ensure as cost effective and as successful a conclusion as quickly as possible is achieved, to find out why the failure occurred and how to prevent it happening again. Reserve Time
4. Drilling Operations – Equipment Failure Investigation and Equipment Stripdowns – What they can tell you.  Going into a Failure Investigation or Equipment Stripdown knowing what results you should expect; which tests should be carried out: how they should be presented; and how those results may affect your drilling operation – will lead to you and your drilling team’s better understanding of the best way forward. Reserve Time
5. QAQC – How does a Quality Assurance Advisor improve drilling efficiency and minimise failures.  Over the last few years we have found that most drilling teams lack an experienced oversight of the QAQC process – for a number of reasons. Our Senior Quality Assurance Advisor will be conducting discussion sessions on the benefits of how these personnel can make a greater difference to your drilling operation than QAQC alone. Reserve Time

Also on our stand this year we will be:

Kevin Fearnley – CEO and Chairman of the Technical Support Group

Sandy Reid  – Global Operations Manager

Glenn Falconer – Global Quality Assurance Service Manager

Scott Smart – Group QHSE Manager and QMS Senior Auditor

Kevin Fearnley Jr – Business Development – Europe & Africa

Paul Youdan – NS Accreditation & Standard Business Development Manager

Stuck Pipe Prevention Course – Aberdeen

Kevin JR Fearnley Leave a comment

Fact – stuck pipe incidents are expensive. Fact – incorrectly handled they become more expensive. What was your company’s most expensive stuck pipe incident? …. Want to know how to avoid them and stop costs escalating …

The best defence against stuck pipe is a good rig team who can listen to the well and react accordingly. If the team understands the principles involved, has awareness of the hazards and how to avoid exacerbating a situation, the likelihood of non-productive time and associated cost is minimised. Fearnley Procter investigate multiple stuck pipe incidents annually and draw on these learnings to develop the knowledge of Drilling Team members from the Operator, Drilling Contractor and Service Company communities. This enables crews to identify potential risks and use surface and down hole trends to spot any problems early, thus delivering savings and efficiency gains through the reduction of operational down time.

To see how that is done and how to use our knowledge to stop stuck pipe costs getting out of control, look at the topics in our team development programme for ‘Stuck Pipe Prevention’.

Designed with the Drilling Team in mind and run by an experienced Supervisor with extensive experience dealing with Stuck Pipe, our next workshops take place in Aberdeen on 28th March & May 11th. The principle topic areas covered include Stuck Pipe Mechanisms & Identification, Hole Cleaning, Wellbore Stability and reviews the operation of Jars and considerations when Jarring.

Q1 Q2 (API) and ISO Training & Assesment added to Fearnley Procter’s NS-1 & NS-2 Capability

Kevin JR Fearnley Leave a comment

Getting the Training you need in Q1 or Q2 for your company’s position in the Oil & Gas Industry – and then where needed the Assessment Certification – can be a lengthy and expensive process.

Knowing who you can rely on to complete the job Efficiently, Professionally and Cost-effectively – can prove difficult.

Fearnley Procter have been providing ‘Training Solutions and Certification’, plus ‘Audit and Assessment’ of quality management systems, equipment manufacture and inspection, for over 20 years on a global basis. And supporting the industry locally in Dubai/Abu Dhabi since opening our office here 9 years ago.

Because of this Knowledge and Experience, we can design both the Training you initially need and then the Audit that follows – so that it matches your companies objectives from either the products & services  you supply – or those you purchase.

Initially the Training can be provided either as part of courses held at our own Training Centre in Aberdeen and Dubai – or held at your own offices. Courses are provided separately on Q1 and Q2 but in principle cover similar topics:

1 day Awareness – suitable for gaining the knowledge needed at the start or to educate others as to what the Q1 or Q2 specifications set down and how to move forward to meet them.

3 day Internal Auditor – for those who need to assess the condition of their own company, complete internal audits and eventually undertake those required for preparation of the final 3rd party independent assessment.

5 day Lead Auditor – will give your team the knowledge of how to complete external audits of suppliers to make sure that they meet the requirements of Q1 & Q2.

For end-users –  these courses will help you insure that your suppliers meet the quality management requirements of Q1 or Q2.

For suppliers – once training certification and assessment is completed – not only will you be in a position to show that you meet those requirements but you would also qualify for an ISO 9001:2015 certificate. In fact if you already hold an ISO Certificate acquiring Q1 or Q2 certification will be less expensive.

You will also gain additional benefits as the NS-1™ & NS-2™ Accreditation Programme includes Q1 or Q2 assessment. So you can add the Q1/Q2 Certification to your NS-1™/NS-2™ Approval or add a NS-1™/NS-2™ Approval to your Q1/Q2 Certification – and at a reduced cost – as we do both. 

Finally – if you book any combination of training & accreditation in Q1, Q2, NS-1™ or NS-2™ (DS-1® and API RP7G-2 are covered in our NS-2™ courses) or you are a NS-1™ or NS-2™ Standard holder – there are discounts on the total prices available thorough our Client Discount Programme.
