Time is Money! 4 Less time Lower cost Larger profit
5
Drilling Introduction 5 Wells are not straight. The well pipe is very small. Nothing ever goes as planned.

The Benefits of Accurate Time and Cost Estimation 13 30% of BP’s CapEx is on wells 1.Help the company to invest in the most profitable projects 2.Allow projects to be optimized for value: compare time and cost of different options 3.Improve understanding, and therefore management, of risks 4.Help to plan and optimize schedules Poor estimates = bottlenecks 5.Cost overruns = “De-Scoping” 6.Internal and external reputation
14
Scope of Estimate 10 Wells (6 Prod + 3 Water Inj +1 Gas Inj) CRI Well G&I Plant Life-of-Well Interventions Capping Equipment P&A Cost Bring Nabors 33E Up to API Spec Rig Mob and Demob 14
15
Key Assumptions Existing rig Big bore well design Cemented and perforated completion Seasonal drilling restrictions will apply 3% flat escalation Slowdown factor (more later) 15
16
Time and Cost Estimation Pre-1990s: Deterministic Model After Work Party 25 People 2 drinks each $6 per drink 25 x 2 x 6 = $300 16 “Best Estimate” How sure are you?
17
Current Model: Probabilistic Time and Cost Estimate ItemMinLikelyMax Number of People152535 Drinks per Person2-4 Price per Drink3-10 17 Sample 1: 18 people x 3 drinks per person x $7 per drink = $378 Sample 2: 24 people x 2 drinks per person x $5 per drink = $240 Sample 3: 28 people x 4 drinks per person x $9 per drink = $1008
18
Probabilistic Estimate: Captures Uncertainty 18 “The party is probably going to cost you around $490. I’m 90% sure it’ll cost more than $250, and less than $770.”
19
Monte Carlo Analysis 19 Repeated Random Sampling “Model phenomena with significant uncertainty in inputs.”

Risks/Uncertainties RiskCostMitigation Delays prevent project completion in two drilling seasons $15mm in rig standby, delayed production profile Move rig to island ASAP, focused plan for RISOP Worst case discharge concerns alter well design Unknown. More wells, two rigs? UAP. Relief Well Rig (On contract? Standby on island?) Worst case – warm standby for 3 years. $43mm. Work with regulators. (Highly dependent on company’s risk tolerance). UAP. 34
35
Opportunities Operate efficiently – complete project in two drilling seasons Design in well capping capability, work with regulators and internal requirements to not require a relief well island 35
