📋Tracking The Value of Innovation🚀 In addition to the work our Innovation Team does to identify, explore and implement improvements on the current and future gas network, they also have to understand how successful previous innovative solutions have been once implemented. Not only is this an Ofgem requirement, but it also provides an insight into the types of innovation projects that are having the most impact on the network. Every year, the Operational Innovation team conduct value tracking of implemented innovation projects, to record the benefits realised. These can be financial, such as cost avoidance or an improvement of efficiency, or environmental, where the team will estimate emissions savings as a direct or indirect consequence of the project. To date, we have identified a value of £89million from our RIIO-1 Innovation Projects. One such example is the L555 Dent Tolerance Project, which carried out comprehensive testing to understand the tolerance levels of dents on L555 pipelines. As a result, a number of policies were updated which increased the tolerances for dents and improved the understanding of the resultant damage to welds. Prior to this work, remedial action would have taken place on lower-level dents, at an unnecessary cost of approximately £200,000 per excavation. Now, dents can be confidently assessed, and rectification is only carried out in scenarios where it is required. It is estimated that this single project gave a total cost avoidance of £4.6million by the end of the last financial year. In addition to the financial benefits, the reduced number of excavations leads to a reduced risk of service disruption and also reduced environmental impacts.

Just recently, we managed to tackle two very critical and common challenges of our industry, in particular with regards to #wellcontrol situation in #oilandgas projects. One on #US land, the other in the #northsea. [1] In the first well, the operator contacted us to assess the risks of gas influx during and after cement displacement, plan mitigative actions, and discuss how to leverage all the advantages of having our #MetalExpandablePacker (MEP) as part of the casing design to deliver immediate annulus isolation, enhanced cement bond quality and reliable #wellintegrity. During execution, right after cement displaced and plug bumped, our #WLP - @Welltec Light Packer - setting procedure initiated and a good feeling of #missionacomplished "landed" when the gas venting system was silenced. 👊 [2] The second case, the scenario was a #multilateral well with likelihood of facing #totallosses in some of its legs. Done deal! We provided with an #OpenHole #MEP #Plug to be deployed with a drop-off system as main #contingency plan. A solid planning always benefits #safety, consistency and increased operational predictability. Happened that in sidetracks #5, #6, and #7 the #Welltec Annulus Barrier (#WAB) Plugs were flawlessly deployed and, thus, immediately controlling the fluid losses, allowing the operation to continue as planned. We are proud to be part of such challenging and relevant projects, supporting with #innovative #welldesign solutions, mitigating risks, minimizing #CAPEX, #OPEX, and #ABEX, and contributing to reduce #carbonfootprint globally. Do you face similar challenges in your area? How do you handle it? Please, share your thoughts and comments below and we risk having a very positive knowledge sharing and collaborative debate here, for good.
