Scheduling
Fundamentals
Schedule Planning and
Development: Process for planning
the work over time in consideration
of costs, time, resources, and risks.

We located a receiving report that
showed that the correct pipe showed
up on site that same afternoon.
We located a Field Change Directive
from the Owner to the Contractor
providing clarification on the drawing
conflict. It was issued two days after
the RFI and the contract stipulates a
one day turnaround on RFIs.

Using an integrated portfolio schedule
to monitor and improve cycle time
As-Was State
Consisted of a number of separate
planning tools which were not integrated
No overall integrated schedule, so changes
(e.g. permitting delay) not automatically
cascaded to remaining elements
Resourcing (crews, rigs, materials) done
thorough separate planning (Excel) tools
Logistics planning not optimized due to
ever-changing well development
