Frac Efficiencies People, Processes and Technology
Dave McKayDirector, Bakken Project
Efficiency built upon sustainable system improvement:
• People are fully engaged• Leaders foster a learning and improving culture• People enabled to solve problems at their level
• Processes drive system improvements• Guard against “sub-optimization”• Capture and build upon learning• Lots of little improvement add up
• Technology benefits are actually realized• Pilots must generate answers• Technology must be reliable – simple is better than complex
People, Processes and Technology

Create an “Army of Problem Solvers”
• Establish a strong “Safety Culture” – Foster “front-line” engagement and ownership– Train leaders to listen
• Cultivate supplier partnerships– Create trusted win-win relationships– Work with the best – performance and values
• Optimize the well construction process– Eliminate defects– Standardize work, “Plan, Do, Check, Adjust”
Engage everyone in improvement, starting with Safety

Get Technology to the “Bottom-line”
• Improve proppant use– Ceramics vs. white sand– Proppant volume– Number of zones
• Transition from “plug and perf” to sleeves– Simplifies operation– Reduces overall job time
• Optimize water handling– Manage jobs size– Utilize dispatch system– Improve sourcing and disposal
Build simple, robust, repeatable systems
Conclusion
5
• Build a strong, people-centric safety culture – listen and learn
• Drive organization discipline – sustain the gains
• Utilize technology effectively – get the good stuff to the bottom line fast
