Agile well planning at an international oil & gas company

Rigorous well planning defines a safe, economical and geologically feasible trajectory to hydrocarbons sitting thousands of meters below the sea floor. The process requires involvement from multiple disciplines and functions, taking up to four months with traditional planning methods. With a four-well program nearing execution, the team needed to compress its well planning time to meet tight deadlines.

Using Scrum, Waypoint’s consultants guided the team through new Agile ways of working, responding to changes in real-time, reducing cycle time and the need for excessive documentation. We coached the client through their first Scrum in the region, facilitating Scrum events to deliver the mandate while continuously improving team effectiveness. ​
