The Start Up Guide contains checklists, critical path planning and descriptive narratives, describing all phases of remote start up operations. This Guide is regularly used in teaching Drilling Efficiency and Drilling Project Management at the Chevron Amoco Training School. I personally teach this school. The value of detailed startup planning can not be over emphasized. If one step is omitted, millions of dollars can be lost.
Many people present themselves as experts in various phases of drilling operations.
Some even claim to know a great deal about start up operations. Believe me when I tell you that are only a few people in our industry that know how to start up an operation in a remote location. None of these people have developed a written start up plan. S ell you the Start Up Guide and consult with you on how to start up your operations. S ell you the Start Up Guide and actually go to the location and assist your operations personnel set up the operations.
