Our global wells organization (GWO) is responsible for planning and executing all our wells operations across the world. It brings wells expertise into a single organization to drive standardization and consistent implementation. It is also responsible for establishing new GWO standards in areas such as compliance, risk management, contractor management, performance indicators, technology and capability.
We have been developing and finalizing operating management system conformance plans for activities which represent our highest risk areas in our wells operations. For example we have developed and applied new and revised engineering technical practices for well barriers, which are used to prevent leaks and reduce the risk associated with drilling.
We continue to work on delivering the recommendations from our internal investigation into the Deepwater Horizon accident and sharing lessons learned across our drilling operations on safety incidents and near misses.
We use technology to help monitor conditions in our wells. This technology is designed to help us make informed decisions, improving drilling efficiency and enhancing operational safety and integrity. We have monitoring centres in Angola, the North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.
