Utilization of Low Code Framework Tool for Knowledge Management in Well Service

Abstract

Well service activities hold important role in maintaining production sustainability from subsurface to surface. This makes conducting well service jobs safely, efficiently, and effectively has become focus for many oil & gas companies. But in the execution phase in the field, knowledge gap among personnel often creates challenge in well service activities. Fast personnel turn over, and generation gap among personnel creates the need for strong knowledge management to ensure every personnel assigned to conduct well service execution has fully understood of the standard procedures and the best practices. This full comprehension will ensure every condition in the field will be handled with the most optimal way. Previously there is not any system available to easily access company specific (operation/area) knowledge from the field by every personnel both experienced and young green company man/ woman.

To develop a strong knowledge management in the field execution, well service team deployed a well service handbook in the form of mobile application. This handbook consists of guideline for job execution as well as tool to calculate various parameter based on proprietary formula defined by subject matter expert experience. By using a mobile application, every field personnel easily access the standard guideline wherever they are in the field. This will ensure all personnel execute the job optimally regardless their years of experience. The mobile well service handbook app is developed using PowerApps low code framework. By leveraging low code application development, team can meet the urgent need of rapid deployment to field operation. Low code framework also enables team to be more agile in adjusting the application immediately based on feedback from the field. Implementation of this initiative could minimize human error related to well service job execution.

Especially on sub-optimum suspended jobs, working team could assure that the optimum effort had been conducted optimally as well as suspending job safely before next well intervention job will be assigned.
