2 Momentum

The second quarter of 2011 opened with a positive outlook for the industry and for M-I SWACO. We have seen healthy rig count activity, and are witnessing strength and stability in the price of oil and economical natural gas prices. The quarter has seen the beginnings of a return to

normal operations in the Gulf of Mexico. Despite geopolitical strife in oil rich regions like Yemen, Libya and Egypt, we are seeing significant increases in drilling operations in the U.S. Land, Brazil, Saudi Arabia and Colombia, among other regions. These positives are outweighing the negatives.

We have a real opportunity in this quarter and beyond for profitable growth, if we maintain focus on the fundamentals of our business. That means hiring, training and retaining the best personnel available. We must continue to ensure “Excellence in Execution” by differentiating ourselves through high-quality products and service delivery. We will do this through strategic investment in our infrastructure, like our liquid mud plants, and acquisition of complementary companies. But most importantly, we must continue to know and stay close to our customers and their site-specific needs.

We have numerous successes to celebrate this quarter. We welcome the Flo-Tech TesTing, inc. team to the M-I SWACO family. Our latest acquisition, Flo-Tech joins our Pressure Control Business Segment and will continue the growth of our frac flowback business in North America.

I am very pleased to report that we had the first rollout of our new equipment maintenance program in Tyler, TX, on May 24. The Standard Equipment Maintenance Program (STEM) is an initiative that is being rolled out globally across our ES operations to establish a standard maintenance program for equipment reliability at the rig site. Further details on this key initiative for M-I SWACO are included in the Tech Roll Call section in this edition of Momentum.

On April 1, we successfully migrated to the QUEST system and are seeing significant activity. While our HOC card entries are understandably down, this indicates that users are accessing the new system, averaging 231 entries per day company-wide. The transition to the new system has been excellent.

As evidence of our ability to keep our focus on our customers, we have achieved the $100M revenue milestone just six months after the merger. We have won major contracts with Saudi Aramco in Saudi Arabia, Surgutneftegaz in Russia, Stone Oil in the U.S. and with BP in Angola. We have had a great start to 2011 in delivering New Technology solutions to our customers across all four segments, including strong sales of our RhelianT* deepwater drilling fluid, cleancuT* cutting handling technology and FloThRu* reservoir drill-in fluid.

In the face of this success, we do not want to become internally focused but keep our eyes on the customers’ needs. We must provide support to the frontline organization so that we can effectively meet the customers’ demands. But at the same time, we must maintain a healthy balance of personal time with our friends and family.

Driving continues to be our riskiest and deadliest activity. On April 14, Chris Grimmett was killed and Kevin Buteaux was seriously injured in an accident. We must continue our efforts to make driving safer through a greater focus on driving training. We also lost Ionel Christian Stefan, a consulting environmental specialist with Anadarko in Mozambique, who passed suddenly while on rotation in April. We send out deepest sympathies to the families and friends of these valued M-I SWACO employees.

Despite these challenges and because of our successes, M-I SWACO continues to be a brand recognized as a leader in the industry; and with strong activity for the foreseeable future, we are well positioned to continue our growth and maintain our industry position through 2011.

Sincerely,

Steve Orr m-i swaco President

M-I SWACO Ecuador sets up IT lab at elementary school

As part of their Mundo Integral project, M-I SWACO Ecuador teams from both Quito and Coca, led by Country Manager Mario

Colmenares, painted and prepared an IT Laboratory for the Enrique Castillo Elementary School. The school provided the team with lunch by way of thanks.

“This way,” said Lorena Paez, Quito office admin-istrative assistant, “the children can enter the great world of technology, which is very important today.”

With nicknames like: Marty ‘the moose’ Chisholm, Kevin ‘broad street bully’ Brown, Ken ‘pylon’ Charney and Mike ‘rumored to be the Grandson

of Gump Worsley’ MacPherson, you know this annual Schlumberger Hockey tournament would be a great one.

This was the first year for the Western Canadian M-I SWACO Mudslingers team to join this tournament, putting all their hearts and souls into their first game on Thursday night facing the Schlumberger Nisku Special

Services. Within the first eight seconds, the Special Services scored on the Mudslingers, and not 60 seconds later the Mudslingers found themselves in a 2-0 deficit. Reg ‘Dunlop’ Patterson, aka Coach, took his third penalty of the game and was told to go to the dressing room for a “time out” to think about what he had done. The rest of the Mudslingers, fighting with all their efforts came back to tie, then win the game in an overtime shoot-out courtesy of Jay ‘top self’ Whitecotton.

Game 2 came quickly for the team the following day when they squared off against the Schlumberger Completions and Production (aka the Syracuse Bulldogs). The Mudslingers took the lead, held it through the game

and in the third period, were up 3-1. After some heated play, the Mudslingers faced a string of penalties where the defense pairing of Matthew Browne and Carl Yaremko (aka the Twin Towers) weathered a few five-on-threes, holding the lead with a final score of 3-2.

Saturday was full with two hard games, the first against the Red Deer Wireline with both teams fighting for the Championship title. The Mudslingers did well and man-aged to get the lead by the third period only to have the

wheels fall completely … losing to the Wireline 8-4, put-ting them in the fight of their life for a game that meant nothing in the standings. The Mudslingers’ final game was played against archrivals the Schlumberger Completions and Productions (Syracuse Bulldogs) for the second time in the tournament. The game was played without any incidents; backup goaltender Darren (Shu) Sharuga was brought in to fill the net, and came away with a shutout. The Mudslingers brought their “A” game to the “B” pool, coming away with a 6-0 win.

All the world’s a stageby Nikki Botha

Little did Jaime Martinez, ES opera-tions manager – Sub-Sahara Africa, know that by the time his first-

born was nine years old, she would have graced numerous stages around the world.

Daniela Martinez started dancing at the age of three in Mexico. Her mother, Patricia, recognized her daughter’s pas-sion for dance and enrolled her in a ballet academy to hone her skills.

Although she has not won any awards, Daniela was accepted into the prestigious Cape Academy for Performing Arts (CAPA) in Cape Town, South Africa, where she currently lives. This afforded her the oppor-tunity to partake in the largest production of her dance career.

In March, Daniela was part of a production staged in the Artscape Theatre. This theatre is one of the most famous theatres in South Africa and many a celebrity has walked its planks.

CAPA has a massive production in Artscape once every five years. Preparation for the show starts early and in July 2010, after passing the entrance exams to CAPA, she was accepted as part of the show, What A Wonderful Life.

What a Wonderful Life ran one show a night from March 4–13, with the exception of Saturdays which

hosted two shows. Daniela danced in every show. This

was a difficult time for both mother and daughter. Patricia stayed with Daniela for each appearance and the duo arrived home after 11:00 p.m.

each night. Daniela had school to cope with as well. Over and

above this, Daniela attends classes at the academy twice a week after

school (as time for the opening of What A Wonderful Life came closer, Daniela rehearsed daily). Patricia

attended classes at the academy, which taught her the-atrical makeup and it was Patricia who patiently applied Daniela’s makeup before each performance.

Jaime and his wife are exceptionally proud of their young daughter. Despite the pressure, Daniela’s school work did not suffer and the high standard of her school work never declined. Both parents will continue to support and encour-age Daniela.

“Dancing is a difficult art which requires long hours of practice. Her younger sister, Gabriela, is also attending dance classes and wants to be like her sister,” said Martinez.

Daniela wants to be a doctor one day, but right now she enjoys practicing her ballet and dancing with her father.

The M-I SWACO Pressure Control Business segment is pleased to announce the acquisition of Flo-Tech TesTing, inc., a leading provider of pressure control

frac flowback, well testing services, H2S monitoring and anchoring services for the oil and gas production industry in Texas and Louisiana.

Founded in 1997 and based in Texas with headquar-ters in Brenham and with regional operations in Carrizo Springs, Odessa, Palestine and Kilgore, Flo-Tech special-izes in Production Testing Services (PTS). These capabili-ties complement the current M-I SWACO pressure control offering of chokes, manifolds, separators and degassers. Of particular operational significance is the M-I SWACO product lines of automated control chokes and three phase separators, currently utilized by the M-I SWACO North America Land (NAL) PTS business unit. The acqui-sition of Flo-Tech will allow us to further expand our PTS technologies and services and strengthens our position achieved through the previous acquisition of PRecision gas Well TesTing in the U.S.

M-I SWACO acquires Flo-Tech TesTing, inc. to complement current Pressure Control Business offerings Shan Conway and Dwight Conway will assume the

roles and responsibilities of General Managers of Flo-Tech and will report to Mike McMillon, PTS Manager NAL. Shan and Dwight are the founders of Flo-Tech and each brings more than 20 years of managerial, operational and technical experience to M-I SWACO. Both are former employees of Schlumberger Well Testing.

The flowback and production testing services from the acquired companies of PRecision gas, lonkaR, silveRTiP and now Flo-Tech have been consolidated in NAL. These four organizations collectively establish M-I SWACO as a significant presence in the expanding unconventional reservoir market in North America and have positioned us for strong growth in 2011.

tCI Council meeting report

The Continuous Improvement (CI) Council met in Houston the week of May 3–6, during OTC. This was the first in-person Council with the new

format. Steve Orr, president of M-I SWACO, is now the Council leader, and Mark Stoller, VP of Manufacturing, is the co-leader. The new CI Council is made up of the Area and Function VPs and their CI Champions. (Reference the Global CI e-Collaboration, http://msc.web.miswaco.com/leanandtechnology/Home.aspx, for Council membership and the full Council report.) The CI Champions report directly to their VPs and functionally to Mark Stoller. Most of the CI Champions are CI Black Belts; all are in the Belt Program.

“Continuous Improvement is an approach to business excellence,” said Orr. “It encourages every employee to

share their knowl-edge and ideas to make continual improvements that will bring tangible benefits to the business. The M-I SWACO CI program is first class, proven and when deployed throughout the company will result in continual step changes in the products and services we

deliver to our customers. CI is wholly compatible and supportive of our strategy of ‘Excellence in Execution’ and ‘Getting It Right the First Time, Every Time.’ An organiza-tion that fully leverages CI will have differentiation; your participation is a must to make this happen.”

Orr called on attendees to stay the path to the core Goal and Charter of the Council.

Area and Function CI Champions shared their accom-plishments, CI people development and plans for 2011. Latin America (LAM) highlighted their ES Shops Best Practice now being implemented across their Area.

Europe and Africa (EAF) described their new employee CI on-boarding and their “MY CI” programs now deployed in the UK, which will soon be spread to other locations across EAF.

Minerals rolled out their CI initiatives to develop North America “Flagship” Minerals facilities.

Russia (SLR) showed their Visual Management Monitors to communicate goals and status in real time.

The CI group presented a comparison of the M-I SWACO CI program to the Schlumberger Lean program and

highlighted the synergies that can benefit both programs. They also introduced the revised CI Management Training Course.

Mark Stoller reported on the Demand Planning ini-tiative, mile-

stones achieved and the way forward. David Paterson, VP Strategic Development, described the new effort Standard Equipment Maintenance (STEM), designed to improve the performance and utilization of ES equipment across the company. Paterson defined step objectives with full imple-mentation to be completed end of 2012.

The Council directives included:• Minerals to consider their new “flagship” facilities stan-

dards for application to all related global location. • CI Management training for all N-1, N-2 & N-3 managers

with targets by quarter and completion by mid-2012.• The CI group to continue to benchmark the M-I SWACO

CI program to the Best of the Best and to integrate the strengths of Schlumberger Lean program.

• EAF and SLR to work together to support CI in the Caspian Region.

• SLR to document the Best Practice on Visual Management (Dashboard) presented and to help other locations.

• The CI Group and Area/Function Champions to amend current reporting structure to comply with the SLB Lean/CI monthly progress reporting format.

The next CI Council meeting is Aug. 8.

CI Council meeting report Journey towards Reliability Centered Maintenance at the ES Shop in AberdeenBy Lisa Stephen, CI Manager EAF, and Paul Ward, Demand Planning and CI Manager

Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) was an area that the ES workshop in Aberdeen first explored in 2008, initially looking at the centrifuge and vacuum

units during a Continuous Improvement event. Alan Hendry, ES support manager and CI Belt at the Minto Drive Facility, led the team that had a goal to have in place a visual and standardized maintenance procedure, based on planned schedules, while maintaining the current level of service pro-vision. The ultimate goal was to reduce the number of hours spent servicing equipment, freeing up people for other tasks and improving profit margin, reducing turnaround time and increasing the availability of equipment for offshore use.

During the event, several improvements were achieved immediately, including visual checks on the units, e.g., bolt movement indicators, marked grease points and gauge ranges.

Despite these changes and best efforts from everyone, it became very clear that there was still no consistent approach for personnel maintaining ES rental equipment and no stan-dard way of measuring and analyzing equipment condition, e.g., time run, maintenance history. Communication between offshore operators, workshop personnel and technical sup-port departments regarding maintenance requirements, maintenance deployment and feedback was limited.

In 2009, the CI group received several enquiries from operations around the world concerning the availability of methods to increase equipment utilization and decrease maintenance costs. In response, they created an internal module for RCM. The next step was to trial the module, and the ES shop in Aberdeen was happy to assist.

A CI event was held in February 2010 focused on the Automatic Tank Cleaning (ATC) unit. The cross-functional team, once again led by Alan Hendry, included representa-tives from QHSE, Technical/Design, Workshop (mechanical/electrical) and Offshore to ensure that everyone involved in the maintenance process was given the opportunity to discuss ideas and agree on the way forward.

Participants drafted a flowchart to capture what happens when a unit is returned from offshore to maintenance. They implemented a problem tag system to generate feedback on equipment issues and created a shift hand-over book to track repairs and parts replaced offshore. Maintenance checklists (annual, after job and daily) included a 360-degree walk-around and photos to show order of checks to be conducted.

One of several follow-up actions from this event was to source and implement an inexpensive Maintenance Management computer-based system—often referred to as a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS).

the maintenance check-list developed in the ci process.

The purpose of a CMMS is to:• Track complete maintenance history for each asset and

critical components• Proactively trigger scheduled maintenance events• Provide a mechanism for resource and materials planning• Provide a repository for associated documentation and

evidence of regulatory compliance• Provide a database of maintenance costs for reporting and

analysisAlan’s team has worked hard at integrating the CMMS

software and understanding its available functionality. A follow-up CI event facilitated by Hendry in March saw

the system populated with planned maintenance for all equipment at the ES service center that will provide a major benefit to the business with accurate maintenance data, uniform maintenance process across all assets regardless of location, auditable and easily readable maintenance system, and trend identification.

“Due to the introduction of RCM practices,” said Hendry, “we now have a one-stop shop for all our maintenance his-tory, hazardous area certification, equipment design data, quality inspection checklists and related documentation.”

The ES shop in Aberdeen has established a step change in their maintenance approach toward a vision of where they want to be.

UP CLOSE recently visited with José Herrera, Global Facilities Engineering manager; Harvey Anderson, Global Facilities Engineering manager; and David Gilligan, Global Facilities engi-neer, at the recently built Carrizo Springs, TX portable liquid mud plant to discuss the Global Facilities Engineering Group. Officially formed after a Continuous Improvement event in November 2009, the group oversees the planning, building and installation of liquid mud plants around the world.

Global Facilities Engineering Group – Building the future

Momentum:What is the Global Facilities Engineering Group?

José Herrera: M-I SWACO Operations per-sonnel have continuously requested technical assis-tance from management for the tendering and build-ing process of Liquid Mud Plants (LMP). M-I SWACO managers would search for this information within the company and find it in bits and pieces, from many different sources and much of it only in verbal form. The number of people in the company with experience at building LMPs were few and very spread out over the globe. For example, I was in charge of the North America Offshore region. Fabiano Miranda was

responsible for Brazil, Mike Pitre for Alaska and Essam Mahrous, the Middle East. However, the company did not have any corporate standards, guidelines or good exchange of informa-tion. Basically, every area designed and built the facilities differently. Other areas were including the same design flaws over and over again.

The Global Facilities Engineering Group (GFEG) is creating standard LMP designs based on M-I SWACO requirements, Schlumberger QHSE standards and current International Building Codes. The group has compiled a database of LMP building and equipment specifications in an effort to communicate and share these concepts with the M-I SWACO global

community. This infor-mation can be found on the Global Facilities Engineering Group’s SharePoint^ site: http://gbu.web.miswaco.com/gfeg/default.aspx.

Now the GFEG is in the process of implementing these standards for LMPs around the globe. The group was set up as a technical support resource for the M-I SWACO global commu-nity less than a year and half ago. The group is assisting on projects to different degrees in various regions, and our experience and reputation in the M-I SWACO community is growing with each project. Active involvement and support from upper man-agement also provides increased levels of confi-dence with area managers using GFEG on their projects.

Momentum:What are the origins of the GFEG?

J.H.: In November 2009, a Continuous Improvement (CI) event was held in Houston addressing the constant issues and prob-lems concerning liquid mud plants. Personnel from around the world who had any kind of experience with building LMP facilities were invited to attend the event. The CI event spawned the development of the Global Facilities Engineering Group, which was approved by senior management in February 2010. Three months later the group was structured, populated with personnel and active in assisting the LMP new builds. It’s now May 2011

and GFEG has moved for-ward quite a bit. The group has its own SharePoint site. The group has developed specifications and stan-dards with input from the Eastern Hemisphere and Western Hemispheres on plant design and QHSE issues. Building a standard that caters to all parts of the world means the standards have to include local building and electrical codes as well as environ-mental concerns.

Momentum:With the integration of M-I SWACO into Schlumberger last year, has that changed how you approach facilities engineering?

J.H.: After meeting with the Schlumberger Engineering and Construction man-agers in Houston, we noted that both groups follow nearly identical project roadmaps. GFEG is using the same ideas and concepts to build the M-I SWACO LMPs as Schlumberger is using for their facilities. M-I SWACO Facilities Engineering Group has also utilized and implemented stan-dards identified on the Schlumberger Hub.

Besides incorporating some of Schlumberger standards into M-I SWACO plant design, GFEG com-municates with local Schlumberger operations before starting to build a facility. For instance, GFEG checked with Schlumberger in Australia to see if there was space available on their existing

property in Dampier for the proposed M-I SWACO LMP. This approach has proved fruitful in Mexico as M-I SWACO is moving several LMPs to existing Schlumberger properties. This will allow for overall company cost savings in property, operations and security. This consolidat-ing of Schlumberger and M-I SWACO operations into single locations will serve to further integration, com-munication and promote efficiency enhancements for these multi product and service centers.

David Gilligan: We leased enough property here in Carrizo Springs to allow Schlumberger or other M-I SWACO divi-sions to co-locate a facility. The plan for this facility included installing gates in the back of this facility so they can get access to it. We’re doing this globally.

Momentum:What is the primary purpose of the Global Facilities Engineering Group?

J.H.: The GFEG was created to ensure that every facility is designed, constructed and commissioned to be compliant with corporate, international and local engineering and QHSE standards. We ensure each facility is built cost-effectively, on time and to budget with maintenance plans and procedures in place. That’s our mission statement.

The secondary purpose is to support operations. The

group wants operations to have technical support during the tendering and design phases of new LMP projects. The operations groups need good solid proposals for their client tenders. M-I SWACO is becoming more accurate in LMP cost estimates, result-ing in better numbers for the tender stage. This will give M-I SWACO managers confidence in requesting Appropriations Requests (AR) and quoting drilling fluid prices to customers.

Momentum:What kinds of facilities are they?

J.H.: A liquid mud plant, or LMP, is a tank farm that blends and stores drilling fluids. The drilling fluids are then transferred to trucks or sup-ply boats for transportation to the drilling operations. M-I SWACO drilling fluids are made from a multitude of ingredients to form a variety of product offerings to M-I SWACO customers. Testing labs are also a part of liquid mud plant facili-ties. The fluid technicians perform quality assurance tests to verify specific grav-ity, viscosity and composi-tion of the fluid before the fluid is sent to the client.

A critical factor of the drilling fluid is the actual weight of the fluid. Most people don’t realize the weight or density of a drilling fluid is very high. The high-density fluids can exceed the weight of liquid concrete. This trans-lates to a very important design consideration for the tanks and foundation

in a facility. The tanks have to be designed to hold these heavyweight fluids. Similarly, the facility’s foun-dation has to be designed to support the tanks filled with these fluids.

Momentum:What types of LMPs are there?

J.H.: Let’s start from the most advanced, which is also the most expensive to build, the Deepwater Equipped type plant, such as the LMP currently under construc-tion in Luanda, Angola. In this type of facility, larger and deeper draft supply boats are accessing the LMP, which means more sophis-ticated and heavier duty docks have to be built. These larger vessels cost more to operate so transfer rates of product becomes a greater factor. The drilling fluids and bulk products are often being transferred at faster

transfer rates in comparison to the other LMPs mean-ing heavier duty and more expensive equipment. The Deepwater Equipped facil-ity can take up to a year to build.

The next LMP type is the land facility. These facilities supply drilling fluids and bulk products to drilling rigs via trucks. A land facility is a fixed facility with a design life of more than eight years in one location.

Another LMP type is a portable facility. The Carrizo Springs, TX facility is a portable type facility that answered a quick response need. This facility has a design life of two to eight years at one location. In a few weeks, you can have this type of facility moved and reassembled at another location. The facilities are built with quick discon-nects and all the flanges are bolted, picked up, moved on a truck enroute to the next location.

The simplest LMP is the ultra-portable facility. This type of facility is commonly used in West Africa where the storage tanks are ship-ping container size and stackable so the local opera-tions can load the tanks on a vessel and move it along the West African coast. It’s also quick to disassemble and assemble. This type facility is designed for short durations at one location.

Harvey Anderson: In addition to the design of the LMP, bulk handling equipment is also part of the remit of the GFEG. Throughout the bulk area of the portable and ultra-portable plants, you

will see large sweeps in the pipes. This is done to allow the barite to flow properly and not clog. These sweeps are specially designed up front so that they can be taken apart and easily transported on a trailer. That is why you may see some flange connections in unusual places; they are there to insure that we have a piece that is going to be able to fit on a flatbed trailer.

And so when it comes time to move a plant, I already know what my land requirements are. I know how much property to develop. Once it is devel-oped, we have a crew tear-ing down the facility and another crew building it as soon as they start receiv-ing parts.

Momentum:What is the design and build process for a new facility?

J.H.: Phase I is request for new LMP. The local operations receives a tender from the client, or a local opera-tion develops the business

case for future work. The local operations contacts regional QHSE and the legal department to evaluate the viability of site selec-tion. The company wants to ensure the property is not contaminated prior to leas-ing the property. The next level of the project roadmap is the project feasibility phase. The local operations then contacts our group for help with estimat-ing the requirements and costs of the project. Then the potential property is examined from an engi-neering perspective. At the AR level, the project should have a preliminary layout, cost estimate, schedule and a statement of earnings (SOE), then is submitted for approval by management.

Once management approves the AR, the proj-ect moves onto Phase IV, which is the engineering design phase. GFEG and local project manager are talking to the contractors, finalizing the land con-tracts and applying for the environmental and build-ing permits.

The next step is the construction phase. The project manager must

ensure the per-mits have been approved and the selection of con-tractors has been accomplished. Once construction begins, the contractors are monitored and the schedule is updated continuously.

The final phase of the project is the com-missioning stage. The

equipment performance tests and system functional performance tests are completed. A QHSE audit is performed. The operators are trained, final costs sum-marized and the project AR is officially closed out.

The facilities engineering group has developed a bro-chure that walks the opera-tions manager through the project roadmap in greater detail. The com-plete picture can also be found on the GFEG website. In essence, when a country manager contacts GFEG for assistance in building an LMP, we can walk the proj-ect manager through the project roadmap process and prompt action for the specific project.

Momentum:What kind of challenges do you have to deal with when planning and building an LMP?

J.H.: The biggest challenge is always timing. The client always needs the new facility operational and able to service their drilling rigs as soon as possible. At the same time, M-I SWACO needs to procure quality tanks, equipment and find suit-able contractors. The GFEG group has worked with the Strategic Sourcing Division in order to locate qualified equipment vendors and contractors. The GFEG can view the Strategic Sources database and find repu-table tank builders and equipment manufacturers

in or near the area. This allows the project procure-ment to start immediately after the AR is approved.

Engineering is another challenge because every area has different soil conditions. In the swamps of Louisiana, the founda-tion may require timber or concrete piles to support the tank farm whereas in South Texas or Australia, the foundation does not require pile support. In other areas there may be a weather concern like extreme cold or heavy rains, all of which have to be considered during the design phase.

Another obstacle that can delay projects are the environmental, air quality and construction permits. Local project managers need to work closely with M-I SWACO environmen-tal and safety depart-ments to ensure all correct permitting is acquired. Each facility is continu-ously inspected by the oil and gas companies, local government agencies and country environmental protection agencies to ensure M-I SWACO facili-ties comply with current QHSE practices, structural and electrical building codes. At the end of the day, we want to ensure each facility provides a safe working environment for M-I SWACO personnel.

D.G.: As well as our own internal standards and expecta-tions. I know in a lot of areas that we operate, they may not have as stringent environmental regulations as we have in the U.S. and other countries. However,

we still have a cor-porate responsibility not to impact the environment and we will follow the more stringent stan-dard that we have developed.

J.H.: M-I SWACO has their own standards and regulations. The facilities group does administer best prac-tices when building an LMP. For example, all the new LMPs are designed with a back flow pre-venter. Certain remote areas of the world may not understand the value of a back flow pre-venter; however, M-I SWACO wants to ensure that the com-pany-provided drilling fluids do not flow and potentially contaminate the local commu-nities’ water sup-ply so we have the back flow preventer as a standard piece of equipment in our designs.

Momentum:Who makes up the GFEG team?

J.H.: GFEG has five official team members to date: Dean Bidstrup, Harvey Anderson, David Gilligan, Essam Mahrous and myself. Having to service the globe you can understand that

the team relies heavily on qualified regional facili-ties engineers to help build facilities in some areas. The group encourages the local area managers to assign qualified local project man-agers to directly oversee the construction phase of the project. GFEG person-nel are typically involved with several projects at one time and cannot dedicate all their time to a single

project. For example, Brazil has Fabiano Miranda, Mike Pitre in Alaska, Raymond Paterson in West Africa, Vitali Gubenko in Russia and Courtney Girdwood in Australia. The group works closely with these engi-neers to ensure LMP stan-dardization and equipment standards are maintained and are an integral part of the final delivered product.

T he official name, República del Ecuador, liter-ally translates to the Republic of the Equator. The country is one of only 13 countries that the

equator passes through. Its capital city, Quito, was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in the 1970s thanks to its well preserved old city, the finest and least changed in Latin America.

Home to hundreds of unique species of plants and ani-mals, Ecuador is one of 17 countries called a megadiverse country by Conservation International. Although best known for the Galapagos Islands’ unique species of plants and animals first cataloged by Charles Darwin in 1835, the mainland country is home to 1,600 species of birds (15% of the world’s known species), 6,000 species of butterflies, over 100 species of both reptiles and amphibians and over 16,000 species of plants.

Although the landmass only covers 105,037 sq mi (272,046 sq km), it has three distinct geographical regions:

La Costa, or the coast, which is comprised of low-lying land; La Sierra, or high-lands, a high-altitude belt that bisects the country along its N/S axis; and La Amazonía or El Oriente, comprised of the Amazon rainforest areas in the eastern part of the country.

Along with its rich biological diver-sity, Ecuador has been home to numer-ous civilizations since the first humans settled there nearly 10,000 years ago. The region became part of the Inca Empire in 1453 and was conquered by the Spanish by 1534. The Spanish ruled Ecuador until Oct. 9, 1820, when Guayaquil became the first city to gain its independence; on May 24, 1822, all of Ecuador gained inde-pendence. After a war with Peru in the

1940s and subsequent military governments through the 1970s, Ecuador returned to democratic rule on Apr. 29, 1979. There was an attempted coup d’état in September 2010 but the country quickly returned to stability.

M-I SWACO has about 60% of the market in Ecuador, working on 13 rigs of the 22 operating. Most of the rigs are operated by national oil companies, including PetroAmazonas, PetroProduccion, Rio Napo and Andes Petroleum. International operators include Italian Agip and newcomer to Ecuador, Canadian company Ivanhoe Energy.

The last two years of the last decade—2008 and 2009—were strong years for M-I SWACO Ecuador, especially for Wellbore Productivity and their tools. 2010 saw some slowdown in activity, primarily because of the change in the contracts structure and the resulting shifting of con-tract holders.

Although M-I SWACO started operating in Ecuador 24 years ago, it remains a relatively small operation with 170 total employees countrywide including 18 expats. Three of those expats work in the Quito office; 15 work in highly specialized jobs in the field. Colmenares said that tap-ping into local Ecuadoran talent is vital to the company’s success. The Environmental Solutions group, for example, is worked and managed almost entirely by Ecuadorans; one Colombian completes the group. Tapping into the Ecuadorian workforce allows M-I SWACO Ecuador to save service costs, such as travel, hotels and work permits.

“We expect a strong upturn in activity in 2011,” said Colmenares. “We expect more tenders, as well. The big challenge is that all of the wells are in the jungle; therefore

The government of Ecuador recently changed how oilfield contracts work. Previously, the international oil companies (IOC) operating in Ecuador worked under production shared contracts. Now, the contracts are service contracts. The new contracts turn the companies into services providers for the exploration and extraction of hydrocarbons, and now they will received a fee rather than sharing profits.

“The government taking over the blocks is good,” said Ecuador Country Manager Mario Colmenares. “They are investing in and increasing the production of the fields. For a service company, this is just a change of customer, from the IOCs to the NOCs.”

This is a good move for M-I SWACO because the Ecuadorian government wants to maximize production while minimizing costs and recognizes that new technol-ogy, like that offered by M-I SWACO, is vital to meeting their goals.

Working with the NOCs has been a good experience for M-I SWACO Ecuador. They are open to seeing new proposals and new technology because anything that allows them to drill faster means that they can get the same financial return on a well in less time, meaning higher profits.

“The new technology we offer works in our favor because it allows us to drill faster,” said Colmenares. “The challenge is that we work under Master Service Agreements (MSAs), which means the customer can

Calderon. “We show them our certificates, QHSE record, our people. We show them that we do not have problems with the environment. Right now, many customers buy on price but as the environmental regulations get stronger and the NOCs worry more about it, there will be more opportunity.”

Local companies are also starting to offer equipment like shakers and centrifuges but Calderon is confi-dent that the global experience of M-I SWACO will

allow them to maintain their advantage.“It will be hard for local companies to get certifications,”

he said. “Anybody can sell a centrifuge but advanced and new technology is hard. That is the M-I SWACO advantage in the future. And the only way to grow a business in Ecuador is through new technology. M-I SWACO is the only

environmental management is a highly sensitive subject. We need to do a good job on projects like water treatment so as not to contaminate the environment.”

There are no liquid mud plants in Ecuador; none are needed because the water-base drilling fluids, which make up the bulk of the drilling fluids used in Ecuador, are built on site at the rig. Once a well is completed, M-I SWACO takes the mud back and has to separate it. The wastewater, along with the recovered solids, must be properly disposed of. Only ENI (Agip Oil Ecuador) uses oil-base mud in their operations and they own the mud plant located in the CPF area. The fluid is transported by helicopter to the rig site.

Due to the environmental regulations, disposal of solids can be complex. The solids are generally the same through-out the country, but the volumes vary from rig to rig. To dispose of them, operators have two main options: (1) pits or (2) reinjection. For pits, there are two sets of parameters depending on whether the pit is lined or not. With a liner, there are certain parameters that must be met, such as oil on cuttings volume. With no liner, there are more restric-tive regulations.

PetroAmazonas, for example, has a 30,000 bbl capacity in lined pit. Andes Petroleum likewise has significant pits, but have to truck their drilling waste more than 6 mi (10 km) from their primary drilling location.

“That is the potential for M-I SWACO,” said Gabriel Calderon, operations manager in ES, “to take care of the environment and the cus-tomer’s finan-cial interests.”

M-I SWACO provides solids control and waste management equipment including centrifuges, shakers, desanders, desilters, mud cleaners and dewatering equipment. The challenge comes from the fact that most of the rigs are Chinese, and it is difficult to get business with the Chinese because prices are low and there are many local companies that can underbid M-I SWACO.

company who can bring this new technology to Ecuador.”Ecuador ES is working hard to develop new opportu-

nities with projects underway to develop business for high volume centrifuges, like the CD-500* range of high volume centrifuges, a reinjection process and a drill bit recovery unit.

“We are the leaders in the market for fluids and in Environmental Solutions,” Calderon said.

The Pressure Control group, which includes four people from South American Land, is a new and promising area for M-I SWACO Ecuador. They have secured about seven agreements but it has been a hard sell because operators

do not see the immediate need for the equipment. The suc-cessful sales have come as a result of a desire to mitigate any potential problems that may arise in case of kicks.

“But we do not have any kicks,” said Calderon, “because most of the fields are mature reservoirs in depletion pro-cess. We just have a couple of high pressure reservoirs. Our

goal is to convince the operators to put Pressure Control equipment on their rigs because we believe they will begin to see its benefit for safety.”

Most of the wells drilled throughout Ecuador use water-base drilling fluids (WBM), although Agip, the Italian national oil company, uses synthetic-base drilling fluids (SBM) for several wells, including their helicopter rig in the Andes that is drilling several horizontal wells. The SBM is recovered and reused for subsequent wells.

In July 2010, M-I SWACO helped Andes Petroleum, one of the national oil companies, drill a record well, Fanny 18B 125, a 12 1⁄4 in. to 8 1⁄2 in. well with a 9,000 ft (2,740 m) TD,

in just 6.81 days. Andes Petroleum used M-I SWACO water-base drilling fluids to manage the wellbore stabil-ity issues. Another record well was drilling with M-I SWACO fluids to 10,100 ft (3,078 m) in 16 days. This included a 600 ft (183 m) hori-zontal section.

“The success of these wells,” said Alex G., Andes Petroleum, “was a

product of continuous improvement. Our main goal is to drill a good producer, but we are always looking for improvement.”

M-I SWACO has worked with Andes Petroleum for almost four years, and the NOC is planning to develop eight more wells. M-I SWACO Ecuador will provide them with solids control and waste management, in addition to the drilling fluids.

Most of the wells drilled in Ecuador are vertical wells, with a few directional and horizontal wells. They are strictly land-based operations drilling through various formations to approximately 12,000 ft (3,660 m). The

formations include the chalcana (red clay), the orteguaza (shale), tiyuyaco (Shale), tena (clay), Napo (shale, sand) and the Hollin (sand). The Napo formation found in the Yural field is very hard and M-I SWACO provides drilling additives like gilsonite and the black FuRy* liquid gilsonite suspension that is used to stabilize the water-sensitive, microfractured shales when drilling with a water-base drilling fluid.

Rio Napo has been using M-I SWACO drilling fluids but is more interested in a coordinated approach to their wells. They take advantage of the Integrated Project Management (IPM) approach. Starting in May 2010, they drilled five directional, type-S wells using the integrated services from M-I SWACO and Schlumberger. The main challenge was to maintain a high ROP while managing the depleted formations in the area.

“For drilling the Napo formation in the Yural field,” said Pablo Murillo, operations manager for Drilling Solutions (DS), “we use the

black FuRy* liquid gilsonite suspension at 2 ppg to prevent problems. The reservoir is composed of sand so the addi-tives provide the wellbore stability we need.”

The first well was a good project to learn how to drill in the area. It required a lot of back reaming due to tight hole formation. But after completing the first well, they had figured out the formulation for the drilling fluid system and resolved their problems, giving M-I SWACO credit for helping them. The first well was drilled in 44 days; by the fifth well, they were down to 19.54 days to TD.

The last well was a record. The previous well in the field

was set in 2006 and had three sections, all cased. The new record was set with one more section and drilled to a TD of 10,420 ft (3,176 m).

“In the past,” said Edison Chiliquinga, Rio Napo drilling supervisor, “Schlumberger and M-I SWACO had been unsuccessful in drilling the directional section. But now, with virtually the same group as before, M-I SWACO and the Schlumberger IPM group, we were able to drill the formation successfully, and in less time.”

M-I SWACO worked closely with Schlumberger in Ecuador even before the merger and continues to maintain a close relationship with the parent company, whose offices are a 10-minute walk from the M-I SWACO office in Quito.

Several of the M-I SWACO managers participated in a team building program sponsored by Schlumberger. The goal was to climb Cotopaxi, the second highest peak in Ecuador and one of the highest volcanoes in the world at 19,347 ft (5,897 m). Cotopaxi has one of the few equatorial glaciers starting at 16,400 ft (5,000 m) and is graded as an alpine F/PD, which is an easy to not-very-difficult climb.

Most climbers use supplemental oxygen due to the altitude.

Several M-I SWACO employ-ees from the Quito office were invited to join the expedition, including Mario Colmenares and Gabriel Calderon. Team members spent as much as two hours per day training, gaining fitness and learning safe climbing techniques. Bad weather and an avalanche prevented the team from reaching the summit on this attempt, but they are looking forward to mak-ing another attempt later in the year.

While drilling fluids have been the leader for M-I SWACO business in Ecuador, tools have begun to generate interest with the NOCs. New tools, including the MagnosTaR*, heavy duTy RazoR back* and the Well PaTRolleR* jetting tool, are all finding use in Ecuador. The Well coMMandeR* ball activated drilling valve has not been

officially used but was run in on one drill string in case it was needed. It was not, but Colmenares said they see a great future for the tool in Ecuador.

“Customers want new technology,” said Lauro Ponce, technical specialist in Specialized Tools. “But they also want to know that they will get costs savings with the new technology.”

And they are realizing that the tools from M-I SWACO can help them save money by enabling them to com-plete the drilling phase faster and with fewer problems. Operators often struggle with milling and cleaning their wellbores. The heavy duTy RazoR back tool has enabled them to complete this operation without complication.

“The MagnosTaR magnet tool, combined with the heavy duTy RazoR back tool is a popular com-bination,” Lauro said, “because the customers like the amount of debris that the magnet can pick up. The two tools are one of the best combinations in Ecuador.”

Petraproduccion tried out the MagnosTaR and RazoR back combi-nation on a well in late August 2010 and were very happy with the results. Repsol and ENAP-SIPENTROL are also using the combination.

The PUP tools were the first tools used in Ecuador, starting in early 2007 with Petrobras, the Brazilian oil company. Petrobras had trouble with wellbore restrictions and, based

on experience in Brazil with M-I SWACO Specialized Tools, believed the PUP tools could help resolve their problems. After running the tools, they had no more restriction problems and continued to use them on subsequent wells.

PetroAmazonas started using M-I SWACO tools in July of 2007, and since then other companies have seen the

employees from m-i swaco ecuador the often play pickup soccer games with other oil and gas companies in Quito. the friendly competitiveness on the field translates to cooperative business relationships off the field.

benefits of wellbore cleanup using M-I SWACO tools to build better producing wells.

“Operators see the cleanup of the well as important, or they’ll get into trouble,” Ponce said.

Specialized Tools has an Operations manager, Edison Endara ; a project engineer, Santiago Cortez; and three field engineers, Lauro Ponce, and Polo Ceron. A small group to manage the tools business throughout Ecuador, they are beginning to see small, local companies bring out tools.

“But,” said Ponce, “customers see M-I SWACO as the best, so we expect growth this year because our new technology is unlike that of these other companies.”

Specialized Tools maintains one base in Coca to support operations throughout the country. A small jungle town about 185 mi (300 km),

The Coca base serves two PetroAmazonas rigs, a two-hour drive into the Amazon jungle. Most of the roads are paved, allowing quick and safe transport of equipment and supplies to the rigs.

Whether in Quito, on the helicopter rigs high in the Andes Mountains, or at the Coca base and the jungle rigs, M-I SWACO Ecuador has built a strong reputa-tion for providing solutions to the challenges faced by operators like PetroAmazonas, PetroProduccion, Rio Napo and Andes Petroleum, as well as the IOCs who still operate in country. With drilling fluids and wellbore cleanup tools that enable operators to drill known formations faster and therefore more economically, to solids control and waste management that help keep the pristine envi-ronment safe, M-I SWACO works closely with its local partners to make the oil and gas operations in Ecuador successful.

“Operators are very serious about the environment and the people of Ecuador,” said Calderon. “It is a very sensitive environment so we cannot fail.”

SPE European HSE Conference in Oil and Gas Exploration and ProductionBy Joanne Galvan, Global Chemical Regulatory Compliance Manager

The first European Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) Conference in Oil and Gas Exploration and Production was held on Feb. 22–24, 2011, in Vienna,

Austria. The event was themed “HSE Performance Across Europe–From Mature Assets to New Frontiers.” The confer-ence theme reflected the challenges and range of environ-ments within the European E&P sector and how efforts are being made to better understand the performance and how to best learn from leading companies.

Building on a very successful International HSE Conference held in Nice, France, in 2008, this regional event was an excellent way for HSE professionals in the oil and

gas industry to come together and share best practices and bring up issues for future improvement.

Several M-I SWACO members were involved with the event. Dr. Arthur Leuterman, director OH/Environment, and Joanne Galvan, Global Chemical Regulatory Compliance manager, were on the Program Committee and thus were heavily involved with preparations since last year to ensure the event was successful. Diana Wochel, QHSE manager CEU, also attended the event. The group was able to net-work with their Schlumberger counterparts also present at the conference.

Joanne chaired the Management of Chemicals Panel Session with speakers represented by industry as well as one of the regulatory bodies in the North Sea. Paul Henson, Eastern Hemisphere regulatory affairs manager with Baker Hughes, started off the session with a presentation entitled “A Chemical Manufacturer’s Experience of REACH First Phase Registration.” Leo Henriquez, chief inspector/

advisor with the State Supervision of Mines Ministry of Economical Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation in the Netherlands, presented a regulatory perspective on European regulations such as REACH and OSPAR and also covered the OSPAR plan for phase out of discharges of offshore chemicals containing

candidate-for-substitution substances on the basis of the OSPAR Recommendation 2006/3. The final presentation was from Harald Fosshagen, regulatory manager from M-I SWACO in Bergen, who presented “Positive Effects of Strong Environmental Regulations; Opportunities for Chemical Suppliers.” The presentation was from a supplier perspective showing specific substitution cases and how the North Sea and European regulations influence the devel-opment of new chemistry. He also discussed how strong regulations are beneficial to the industry’s stakeholders and ended with discussion on how the precautionary principle is applied. At the end of the presentations, the session was opened for questions and discussion and moderated by Joanne Galvan and John Hall.

Dr. Arthur Leuterman judged the poster presentations along with Leo Henriquez. Overall, the event was a huge success and thus will be repeated biannually.

North Course fountains get cleaned up with new treatment method

The water quality of the Houston North Course M-I SWACO campus center fountain is now being improved and

maintained with new environmentally friendly water management technique known as Mixed Oxidant Solution (MOS).

“The M-I SWACO Environmental Leadership and Awareness Committee (ELAC) came up with the idea to use the MOS solution in the North Course fountain as part of our initiative to ‘green’ the campus,” said Kayli Clements, senior environmental scientist and ELAC member. “We thought it was the perfect showcase for our own products.”

MOS is added to the water to control algae and bacteria. It replaces dry pool chemicals that were used in the past and only requires five gallons a week to keep the fountain water clean, clear and odor-free.

A small device, the size of a microwave oven, generates the MOS solu-tion from table salt and a small amount of electricity. M-I SWACO ES Applied Research department is developing a larger sized, mobile, containerized MOS generation system that can be used to improve water quality for other oil and gas applications such as frac flowback, iron reduc-tion, water floods and hydrogen sulfide operations to name a few.

Shawn Hann, M-I SWACO solids control technician aboard the Hibernia Platform offshore Newfoundland, Canada, was in the process of injecting displacement fluid from the well. At the same time, a permit was issued to erect scaffolding around the injection unit. Realizing the hazards associated with working near high pressure rotating equipment, he immediately postponed the scaffolding job until the well displacement fluid was injected. He also requested that he be notified of permits in his work area in the future.

He was recognized with a Behaviors Safe/Unsafe Green Catch for his commitment to ensuring safe operations.

There has been quite a lot of integration activ-ity since the merger last year. As of Apr. 6, the Schlumberger Chemical Regulatory Compliance

(CRC) and M-I SWACO Occupational Health and Regulatory Compliance groups have been fully integrated to form the new Global Chemical Regulatory Compliance (GCRC) organization.

Some of the main goals for the integration project include:

• Alignment to a single organization that combines the compliance organizations in M-I SWACO and Schlumberger to support all segments within the Schlumberger company

• Maintain the segments-specific lab support for M-I SWACO (Bergen, Norway) and expand it to include Well Services

• Provide critical mass to the function

• Maintain presence and increase effectiveness with industry and regulatory groups

“I am fully supportive of the new organization and see this as a very positive direction for the future of the GCRC group,” said Brian Hunter, VP QHSE M-I SWACO. “By consolidating the groups, we now have the exper-tise, resources and structure required to support the Schlumberger legacy and merged organization. With the new GCRC organization, we now have a greater resource and can implement the best-of-the-best to build a best-in-class capability. We can also benefit from a consistent approach to chemical regulatory compliance to our customers. In addition to the enhanced functional

Global Chemical Regulatory Compliance Integration UpdateQH

SEcapabilities of these synergies, I expect to see significant cost savings from the merging of these resources.”

The GCRC group will be managed by Global Chemical Regulatory Compliance Manager Joanne Galvan. GCRC will report to Shannon Poskevich Archer, Global Regulatory Compliance (GRC) manager at Schlumberger and to HSE management under Brian Hunter, VP QHSE M-I SWACO and Graeme Anthony, Global WS HSE man-ager at Schlumberger.

“There are huge benefits of partnership with this integration and by working together we are able to achieve synergistic benefits,” said Joanne Galvan. “By combining our groups and expertise we will have a bigger impact.”

With the consolidated GCRC group, the main items supported include:

• Product development—new/existing product review

• Records/documentation/labeling

• Chemical registration/notifications

• North Sea environmental testing (Bergen, Norway lab)

• Global chemical disclosure requirements

• Occupational health program

• Dangerous goods program and training

• Operations/customers

“The support that GCRC can bring to Well Services operations is extremely important,” Anthony said. “While in the past the individual aspects of this support may have been available to us, it was not always clear what exactly was available or how we accessed the information

that we required. With the new organiza-tion, this entire process will be highly visible, streamlined and accessible.

“This is a sensitive matter for our segment. We need to continually develop new products to ensure we maintain our lead in technology, but we need to do so in a manner that is understood and accepted by today’s ever-growing public scrutiny and also be mindful of our responsibility to the environment.”

GCRC takes a very proactive approach in this process to ensure that products being developed are consistent with our overall goals and objectives and can intervene at a very early stage in the process to ensure effectiveness and efficiency. In addition, their understand-ing of the legislation in most countries and the requirements set out by these

Continued on page 31

QHSE 31

countries as to the process of having new products approved for use will greatly improve our ability to ensure we will minimize delays in this process as new products become available.

“I strongly believe that Well Services will see a very positive benefit from the integration of this new team. Please take the time to understand what they can do for you; and of course, they are there to support the field, so let’s use them,” said Anthony.

Some of the main initiatives that the GCRC group will focus on in 2011 include: MSDS integra-tion, Documentation, REACH, Regulatory Impact and Expansion of programs in Schlumberger. GCRC will be working towards alignment of the MSDS software globally, standardizing documentation such as MSDSs and labels to ensure consistency within GCRC as well as centralized manage-ment of documentation. This eliminates delays and duplication of effort with having information at your fingertips.

GCRC will also focus on developing the European Regulatory REACH compliance program for Schlumberger including full integration in the supply chain to control compliance. The group will also be working on integration of the REACH programs and optimizing a strategy for registration and cost savings in the coming years. GCRC has a strong initiative to proactively monitor and implement regulations affecting SLB globally and the team will play a valuable role to achieve this.

“Balancing the realities of operations and manufacturing with that of regulatory compliance is an ongoing challenge for Schlumberger,” Archer said. “From a global regulatory compliance perspective, histori-cally chemicals may not have been as high-profile as radiation compliance, but this is changing at a rapid pace.”

The GCRC group will be critical to the success of the Schlumberger chemical compliance program. The integrated group brings expertise together and draws upon the experience of both Schlumberger and M-I SWACO. This experience, combined with the strong compliance program within the company and the identified goals and initiatives for the group, will bring benefits to Schlumberger, ensuring our continued compliance with the stringent chemical regulations.

“These initiatives address existing and

Continued from page 30

Accident Prevention Week (from the Portuguese SIPAT – Semana Interna de Prevenção de Acidente) took place from May 17–19 in the Botafogo office of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. There were innumer-ous activities offered to the employees, e.g., lectures on life quality and various health topics such as blood pressure, obesity, posture and gymnastics. All the participants received gifts related to the event.

“We promoted an internal election to choose a name for the mascot of the campaign,” said Marcelo Amaral, opera-tions manager in Brazil. “The winning name was ‘SIPATICO’.”

The employee who suggested the elected name also won a special gift. Throughout the event, two very healthy breakfasts were offered to motivate a better integration of the team. To close the event, everybody had the chance to assist the play called “Secretary.”

Quality Reporting: beginning to improve the Quality of our products and servicesBy Alan McLean, VP Quality

As M-I SWACO strives to lead the industry and outpace the

competition, it is critical that we establish quality metrics for our services and products that will result in improved quality delivery to our customers. In 2011, we will establish Quality metrics for Service and Product Quality by reporting and classifying severity, and identifying the cost or red money of quality failures. By determining the baseline for quality perfor-mance, we can then work to improve our quality both in products and services.

Schlumberger began its journey to improve quality and work towards Excellence in Execution over three years ago, and we will leverage their tools and processes to begin our journey to report and improve quality.

The Schlumberger QHSE Standard S002 (SQ and PQ Incident Reporting and Management Standard) defines how to report and classify quality incidents. Like other Schlumberger business segments, we have created an SQ PQ Reporting Guideline for the standard that guides quality reporting for M-I SWACO.

We will use Quest, which was rolled out Apr. 1 for M-I SWACO use, to report client-facing quality incidents and M-I SwaCARE to report internal or nonclient facing product quality incidents. M-I SWACO has also adopted the Schlumberger Q-Stop (Quality stop) and Excellence in Execution initiatives.

The Quality Reporting System was formally rolled out in May and every M-I SWACO employee now has the ability and the responsibility to recognize and report Quality failures. The Q-Stop system allows any employee to stop poor quality work whenever and wherever they see it.

To help employees learn and use the Quality Reporting System, we have created a Quality Hub e-collaboration site on the M-I SWACO intranet. It is available to all employees at http://qhse.web.miswaco.com/QReporting/default.aspx.

Identifying and eliminating service and product quality failures is critical to our success. Establishing a “No Blame Quality Culture” that strives to do the job right the first time, every time is critical to Excellence in Execution.

Taking on the newly created roll of Vice President of

Quality, I will lead quality improvement initiatives and manage the quality processes for M-I SWACO. In addition,

Quality Subject Matter Experts (QSME) positions have been cre-ated within each business line: Drilling Solutions, Environmental Solutions, Well Bore Productivity, Pressure Control, Production Testing (North America) and Production Technologies.

The QSMEs will continue report-ing directly to their current manager and will now report functionally to me. The QSMEs in each of the busi-nesses segments will be responsible for rolling up the quality statistics for each business, support operations in reporting quality incidents, partici-pate in quality incident investiga-tions when required, identify and initiate Continuous Improvement

events when needed and help operations create standard operating procedures or processes to ensure quality deliv-ery. Quality support resources have also been identified within the R&E and HSE Organization that will assist and support the quality function within the company.

While M-I SWACO has always prided itself on providing the highest levels of customer service and product quality, it is an area that we must continue to examine and strive to improve so that we will always be the first company that our customers think of when they think of Quality.

Every M-I SWACO employee now has the ability and the responsibility to recognize and report Quality failures. The Q-Stop system allows any employee to stop poor quality work whenever and wherever they see it.

On Apr. 1, M-I SWACO successfully rolled out QUEST to our population. This transition was a huge benefit for the M-I SWACO population, and will

now enable us to report our QHSE data in the same way data is being reported by Schlumberger. QUEST has also provided us with additional functionality and reporting capabilities that far exceed our previous IMPACT system.

what is Quest?QUEST was developed to meet the strong need for a common QHSE data capture and reporting tool. Prior to the implementation of QUEST, there was a number of different data capture systems being utilized within the various business segments of Schlumberger. QUEST was developed to remove the unstructured, duplicated systems that existed between segments. QUEST is an important and necessary business tool because:

• It acts as a central, easily accessible storage point for key QHSE Management system records.

• It is used for statistical analysis of QHSE performance.• It used for tracking QHSE data for legislative compli-

ance issues.• It allows remote and/or local tracking and monitoring

of QHSE Management System implementation and performance.

• It notifies employees of QHSE-related activities or incidents that have occurred.

• It tracks the closure of Remedial Work Plans.See Figure 1.

QUEST rollout successfulhoc reportingOver the past few years, HOC reporting has increased significantly with over 200,000 being submitted and closed in 2010. Twenty percent of those were issues where an individual intervened and the job was physically stopped to ensure that risks were adequately controlled before proceeding. In order to build on this momentum, we have updated QUEST to include most of the functionality of the Hazard Observation Card. The paper copy HOC has also been updated and distributed. Help with reporting using our new HOC can be found in the document “Helpfile – Adding HOC to QUEST” on our QHSE Pod, in the QUEST Files 2011, as seen in Figure 2.

user trainingAdvanced user training was completed in March for an estimated 250 designated QUEST Champions. The next step was to ensure that all M-I SWACO users complete basic QUEST training in order to ensure that everyone is familiar with the system. The first action for M-I SWACO users is to take the introductory training – M-I SWACO IMPACT to QUEST Transition – which is available in the Schlumberger training catalogue. As of May 31, 81% of the M-I SWACO population had completed this training. Once that training has been completed, all M-I SWACO users with access to a company computer should take the QUEST 1 training. This can also be found in the Schlumberger training catalogue. Also as of May, 76% of the M-I SWACO population required to complete this

The VSAT Team: Strategy + education = continued brand recognition and business growthBy Bobby Farmer, Screen Sales Manager

R ecently ConocoPhillips engineering executives reached out to the M-I SWACO VSAT Team and asked what role M-I SWACO might play in their new initia-

tive to gain optimization of their equipment, longevity of screen life as well as train-ing for rig personnel when operating shale shakers and handling of screens. The VSAT Team was advised of 13 rigs in South Texas that COP was tar-geting. COP’s major concerns were costs associated with conditioning mud, screen life and shaker maintenance best practices.

The VSAT Team conducted a team strategy meeting and developed a plan that included conducting a vibratory sys-tems analysis and test on all 13 rigs. This type of testing consists of inspecting the shakers and removing screens to conduct an adequate inspection of screen mounting surfaces and consumable parts. In addi-tion, the use of a data acquisition unit, USB cable, acceler-ometer and laptop was employed as one of the tools used in such vibratory systems inspections. This portion of the test will identify many numeric ranges of motion inclusive of angle of inclination, phase angle, G-force and RPMs, etc.

When analysis and testing were completed on 10 of the 13 scheduled rigs, COP engineering executives contacted the VSAT Team and asked us to build a presentation based on our findings thus far. Present were superintendents from COP, Nabors Industries Ltd., Trinidad Drilling Ltd., Precision Drilling Corp. and H&P Oil Field Service Inc. While the presentation focused on shaker maintenance best practices and the benefits of the use of composite frame screens, the presentation sparked many valid concerns regarding dam-aged consumable parts from the use of metal frame screens as well as costs associated with reconditioning mud due to solids bypass caused by damaged consumables and inad-equate screens.

Upon completion of the 13 rigs, 400-plus pages of reports were written identifying key and specific areas of concern, plus hours of rig personnel training. COP contacted the VSAT

Team yet again asking that we present our total findings to their engineering department. Present at this meeting were 12 COP engineers. Discussed were the common opportuni-ties for improvement observed as well as the level of train-

ing provided to rig personnel while out on location.

The strategy of the VSAT Team was to develop and build a relationship with COP, to aggressively target aiding COP in reaching their goals of equipment optimization while providing shale shaker and screen technology educa-tion, identifying opportuni-ties to exploit our composite screens and grow the busi-ness. We have established a rapport that goes beyond the norm and recognize this

by the continuous correspon-dences where COP shows that

they rely on us heavily even when dealing with competi-tive shakers.

As of late, COP engineering executives have asked the M-I SWACO VSAT Team to build a training binder that would be shaker specific regarding best practices and asked for pricing to conduct training.

In approximately seven weeks the VSAT Team was able to generate significant income in screen sales, just shy of their goal, which is merely a stepping stone to our target of a minimum of 50-60% of the COP rigs in South Texas. The forecast is approximately 16 by the end of the year. When we achieve this goal we will recognize a minimum of nearly half a million dollars revenue by the close of 2011.

If you have any interest in this project or wish to gain more information regarding the VSAT Program, contact Bobby Farmer, screen sales manager, at bfarmer@miswaco.slb.com or Jeff Russo, VSAT team leader, at jrusso01@miswaco.slb.com.

ECUTEC Barcelona S.L. now business unit of M-I SWACO and wins multimillion dollar contractBy Joe Roettle, ECUTEC Global Sales Manager, Barcelona, Spain

The system supplier ECUTEC Barcelona S.L., who was a business unit of SWECO, is now directly a business unit of the M-I SWACO Mineral Division under VP

Bob Bailey.M-I SWACO bought ECUTEC in 2007 and made it a busi-

ness unit of SWECO due to the similar industrial business area of the two companies. In the last two years, more and more oilfield applications came up for ECUTEC (e.g., dry production of WARP* fluids technology, bentonite quality improvement, calcium carbonate coating, etc.) and so it made more sense to incor-porate ECUTEC directly into the Minerals Division of M-I SWACO.

ECUTEC also helps to improve existing machine designs and develops with M-I SWACO new machines for oilfield applications.

The whole ECUTEC team is excited to be part of the M-I SWACO Mineral Division and is looking forward to working with M-I SWACO staff on future projects.

In fact, the group is proud to announce that at the end of 2010, CE Minerals, which is a

member of the Imerys Group, placed an order for a complete grinding and classifying plant for the produc-tion of Metakaolin worth several million dollars. This is so far the biggest order ECUTEC has received and was born out of a long relationship with Imerys. Imerys has ordered ECUTEC equipment and systems since 2004, which shows the confidence in ECUTEC technology and know-how.

The final customer for the proppant produced at this plant is Schlumberger and so the whole business stays within the family.

The ECUTEC part of this plant consists of a 900 kW (1,200 HP) ball mill working together with three big turbo-classifier systems. All peripheral equipment, ductwork and convey-ing equipment is also part of the ECUTEC design work.

The project department is in the process of designing the whole grinding and classifying part as a 3D model to be able to consider all details for installation and operation. With the 3D technology, the project team is able to walk through the entire plant to analyze and find out if there is any interference with walkways, maintenance access or any other areas that could create trouble to the process.

The target for the final commissioning of this project is late summer 2011. More updates to this project will come with the next issue of Momentum.

l Call ATC: Seeing is believing

By Steve Hamlett, Project Manager, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Over the past year M-I SWACO Brazil has had great suc-

cess using the auToMaTic Tank cleaneR* (ATC) for the first ever unit to work in the country. For many years Brazil has had good success utilizing semiau-tomatic systems with Devon and Shell.

In an effort to introduce the ATC to a broader range of cus-tomers, it was decided to have a two-day demonstration at one of the M-I SWACO liquid mud plants and use one of the mud tanks for a cleaning demonstration. Invitations were sent out to all of the oil company HSE, Logistics and Operations personnel.

Apr. 6 and 8 were chosen to hold the demonstration at the Briclog plant, which is the base of operations for OGX. On the first day of the demonstration, 14 people attended. On the second day of the demonstration, another 12

attended. Companies represented each day were Devon, Anadarko, Repsol, Chevron, OGX, Petrobras and shore bases Briclog and Brasco.

Most had heard of the ATC or had seen a presentation in the past. The purpose of the demonstration was to let everyone see the unit actu-ally working and to do a hands-on explanation of the functionality of the unit.

All of the attending people men-tioned a common problem: They

all had tank cleaning problems that resulted in the gen-eration of excess waste and required the need for extend-ing confined space entry time for cleaning personnel.

All attendees were very interested in the fact that the ATC was designed specifically to reduce excess waste generation through recycling, and reduce or in some case eliminate confined space entry by personnel.

Waste Injection subsurface assurance service workshop – advancements in subsurface assurance tools and techniquesBy Talgat Shokanov, Pressure Monitoring Manager for Waste Injection, Houston, TX

The Waste Injection business line (WI) organized the subsurface assurance service workshop from Feb. 28–Mar. 11 at the M-I SWACO Houston headquarters for regional WI subsurface engineers and key R&E geome-chanics experts. The main objective of the workshop was to upgrade and advance the tools and techniques used for WI subsurface services and analyses that are critical to ensure the drilling waste subsurface contain-ment and assurance at any WI project.

In addition, as a result of Smith-Schlumberger integration process, additional training sessions were held on the latest development in hydraulic fracturing and well testing pressure analysis using Schlumberger MiniFallOff software, which is now the backbone for WI Pressure Monitoring service, and Schlumberger Techlog petrophysical software, used by Schlumberger DSC segment and would be implemented for petrophysical evaluation during WI Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) studies.

The workshop also provided a unique opportunity to share regional experience and expertise in the subsurface engineering and assurance field that definitely facilitates the regional knowledge sharing and best practices to increase the quality of subsurface support provided globally. The knowledge and information obtained during this workshop will be used to build next-generation WI subsurface assurance services that will maintain and crystal-lize M-I SWACO leadership position in WI technology in the future. The workshop was seen as a great success and a unique opportunity for M-I SWACO to increase its capability of the WI assurance-based product line.

STEM – Standard Equipment Maintenance Program RolloutBy Tony Clarke, Project Manager STEM Program, and Eric Heath, Senior Engineering Manager

Centrifuges, shakers and other equipment—part of the millions of dollars in M-I SWACO assets around the world—are working on rigs both offshore and

on, providing world-class services to our customers and helping them achieve their drilling, completion and produc-tion goals faster and cheaper than they could without that equipment. Other equipment is in our workshops and yards, strategically located to provide what the customer needs when they need it.

In order to maintain our inventory of equipment and provide our customers with the products and services they require, when and where they need it, we have to make sure that every piece, whether on a rig or at a yard, performs at the highest level at all times. To achieve this goal on a global basis, the Standard Equipment Maintenance (STEM) Program was rolled out in May.

STEM is a systematized program for maintaining company assets to the highest level. It was created to give the more than 80 workshops around the world a standardized method to provide best-in-class maintenance service every time. By providing workshops with a straightforward process to fol-low, the maintenance shops and crews have a standard workflow to inspect, repair and maintain equipment on the rigs and when they return to the yard.

The program’s aim is to allow M-I SWACO to successfully main-tain our assets in the field, work-shop and storage yards to give customers the fit-for-purpose equipment they need, when they need it, where they need it, anywhere in the world. It provides a distinction between corrective maintenance, or repair, with preventative maintenance. Preventative maintenance ensures the customer that the equipment is in prime condition and will not break down, causing expen-sive downtime while repairs are completed.

The program will eliminate nonproductive time, improve return on assets, increase customer satisfaction and reduce HSE incidents. It provides the workshops with the tools and knowledge to be successful. The people will be trained, will have the right tools to do the job and have daily, weekly, monthly and annual schedules to maintain the assets.

Key elements of the program that will make it success-ful are leadership, structure and accountability, and will evolve into a program that will address failure modes that result from the specific application and environment of the individual asset. A pump used in the deserts of Saudi Arabia

will require different maintenance than an identical pump used on the North Slope of Alaska.

The STEM program has four tiers, or levels of excellence, starting with the most basic and going to the highest level of quality, training and achievement:

Tier 4: Basic workshop standardsTier 3: Basic workshop controlsTier 2: Standardized processes and controlsTier 1: Best of the best – achieve and maintain standards

of excellenceThe plan is to have, by December 2011, 50% of all mainte-

nance personnel trained in the STEM process and 100% of the workshops to STEM Tier 2. By December 2012, 100% of all maintenance personnel will be trained and 100% of the shops will be at STEM Tier 1. STEM is a mandatory program that is

initially being rolled out for centrifuges but will then go out to manage the maintenance programs for all major assets.

Within the first quarter of the STEM rollout, the trainers plan to visit workshops in North America, Latin America, Asia, Caspian and Africa geomarkets. Plans are already in progress to visit the remaining geomarkets to provide the necessary training. Training is being tailored to meet the needs of global operations. While it is mandatory and the deadlines for achievement are set, training is being com-pleted to meet the needs and schedules of the field. This is to ensure that operations will be able to continue providing the services that the customers require.

The training program takes a combined classroom and hands-on approach. First the trainees are introduced to the program in a one-day classroom session. Then they have an opportunity to perform the maintenance schedules and use the tracking tools in a series of hands-on workshops. The training program has been crafted to be successful and sus-tainable while holding people accountable. It is designed so

that, whatever it takes, no one will fail.While shepherded from North Course by both Tony Clarke

and Eric Heath, the STEM program was put together by the global reliability group and global operations. These groups stepped up to the plate, recognized the opportunity to take their level of maintenance service to a new level of perfor-mance and embraced the opportunity.

The STEM initiative, although supported by corporate, is not owned by corporate. It was designed with direct input from global operations to ensure the program is a perfect fit with the way we do business. It is the responsibility of operations to implement the program and ensure that every workshop and every maintenance crew member is trained and follows the specific, step-by-step program for each and every asset.

This is a way of doing business, a systematic approach for maximizing the life of our assets, giving our customers best-in-class service and equipment, and creating a common culture focused on service and product quality.

The people will be trained, they will have the right tools to do the job and have daily, weekly, monthly and annual duties to maintain the assets. It is, at its simplest, a maintenance schedule to look after the company’s assets.

l Call STEM rollout in Tyler, TX

By Roger Ross, District Manager for Oklahoma

The initial rollout for the Standard Equipment Maintenance (STEM) program was held at the M-I SWACO ES facility in Tyler, TX, May 23–26. The

purpose of this program is to further and more com-pletely train our shop and field personnel to perform scheduled maintenance and repairs to our fleet of rental equipment thereby ensuring our customers receive the

best equipment possible for their projects as well as extend the useful life of our equipment.

This program is championed by Tony Clarke and Eric Heath, and it was apparent a lot of thought and prepara-tion was put into this rollout. The presentations, materials and workshops inspired a lot of classroom participation

and generated much enthusiasm for the program by the attendees.

The process starts in the shop where equipment is read-ied for upcoming projects. Equipment-specific checklists are used to verify that all equipment is within specs and serviced completely before it is allowed to be sent to a cus-tomer’s site. The checklists are completed and signed off on by shop personnel performing the repairs to verify the work has been performed. With this completed, the shop supervisor will review the checklists and again inspect the equipment before he confirms and signs off that the equipment is ready for use.

When the equipment is sent to the customer’s job site, there will be a waterproof box attached to each piece of equipment containing documents and checklists specifi-cally for that piece of equipment. These checklists are for use by the field personnel who maintain the equipment on the job site. The checklists are waterproof and outline daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly inspections and services to be performed while on the job site. This information is then transferred to a log book to record the history of that specific piece of equipment. This log is routinely delivered to the office where the records are archived and stored safely for future reference.

Utilizing these more intensive service regimens along with increased documentation and accountability, we will be able to more closely monitor our equipment to avoid expensive major repairs and downtime for our customers and keep us out of the “Red Money” category.

the stem rollout in tyler, tX, was well received by the mainte-nance crews who see it as a way to improve their processes and give a better product to the customer.

Standard Equipment Maintenance Program—a standardized approach to asset managementBy David Paterson, VP of Marketing and Technology

M-I SWACO is recognized in the industry as a leader, for our fluids and for our equipment. In order to maintain this industry position, we have created a new maintenance program that will allow us to ensure our customers that no matter where in the world, they will receive the same, best-in-class preventative maintenance on the M-I SWACO equipment—from centrifuges to shakers and beyond.

This program, the Standard Equipment Maintenance (STEM) program, is a mandatory, standardized program for our more than 80 maintenance workshops around the world. By creating a standardized program, we can keep the promise we make to our customers that we are accountable for the condition of whatever kind of equipment they buy or rent from M-I SWACO.

It is all too easy to allow complacency to seep into how we manage our assets. The STEM program provides an easy path to follow, with daily, weekly, monthly and annual tasks that keep us on task. The entire executive staff of M-I SWACO, including myself, is behind this initiative and fully support it. Whenever we travel to visit our locations around the world, we will be stopping in to the maintenance workshops, not to check up on the crews but to show them that we support the work they do.

Like everything we do in this business, there is always room for improvement and the STEM program is one more way M-I SWACO supports its people and its customers.

ing Training in Western Canada

By Joshua Whitehead, Supervisor Technical Training, Houston, TX

As an oilfield service company, M-I SWACO is fully dedicated in providing its customers with the highest level of quality service around the world

through advanced technology and competent person-nel. I recently transferred into the Career Development and Training Department from the Rotational Pool and it really became obvious to me on how dedicated our company is to strive in being the leader in oilfield service through quality products and services, advanced technology and competent personnel.

Competency is only achieved through knowledge and attitude, and in order to excel in the business markets today a company has to have both. The attitude of M-I SWACO personnel and the training is what puts us in the lead in providing world-class quality service and products. But, in order to achieve this, we must start with the basics and build upon it.

“ The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be ignited.”

-Plutarch

It’s this type of logic that shows in Western Canada, where students from all over Alberta came to Spruce Grove to learn the basics in a Solids Control and Centrifuge workshop. Students were instructed on performance parameters for solids control equipment,

such as shakers, hydroclones and centrifuges, as well as basic drilling fluid rheology changes pertinent to solids control and solutions to counter problems with solids in the drilling fluid.

During the course, students were able to help assemble three Mongoose* PT shakers and inspect, go over common troubleshooting techniques and perform maintenance for the units. Students performed tasks on the 518* standard centrifuge, CD-500* HV centrifuge, 1850* centrifuge and the HH Model 5500 BrakeSmart^ centrifuge with a basis to show operating variables, test points, maintenance procedures and troubleshooting for each centrifuge. Students tested and adjusted a GS cou-pling, installed end bearings assemblies and conveyor on a rotating assembly and saw the sample points and maintenance requirements on each machine.

A lab was held in order to help students see real world applications when calculating the performance of the machine. Students were instructed on how to evaluate the equipment by conducting a Retort, and then calcu-lating the Retention of Oil on Cuttings (ROC) and mud on cuttings (MOC) as well as determining the API solids control efficiency (SCE) over an interval.

Students learned the definition of electricity as well as the measurable components of electricity, OHMS Law, how to size conductors, electrical motors and high volt-age and low voltage wiring, and control circuits.

HH Model 5500 BrakeSmart centrifuge is a mark of HutchisonHayes, L.P.

Awards and Anniversaries

Dutch M-I SWACO employees Rick Tiebie, mudplant manager; Mario van Renswoude, operator; Ralf Hamersma, operator and Sabine Meijers, lab technician/operator, received President’s Awards for their tremendous efforts and contributions at the liquid mud plant in Den Helder, Holland.

Ninety percent of all the drilling fluids requirements in Holland are handled through this fully automated plant located at the quay side in Den Helder at the North of Holland. In 2009, the plant handled record volumes of oil-base drilling fluids, water-base drilling fluids, completion fluids and dry bulk products, all achieved without any recordable LTA/LTIs since the opening of the plant five years ago:

• 144.275 cbm (907,345 bbls) of fluids were processed (mixed, delivered and received).

• 22.199 MT of dry bulk materials were loaded for mixing on site.The setup of this LMP, with its air-operated valves and computerized

mixing, delivering and circulation features, allows M-I SWACO Holland to operate these volumes at the facility with just the four employees and one third-party employee.

The mud plant, with its total storage capacity of 5.250 cbm (33.000 bbls) and four 50 cbm mixing tanks, is not only high tech in its operational setup, but also “typically Dutch” within its design, since the silos are placed on the (former) seabed (8 meters below sea-level) and fluids need to be pumped up into the boat.

The President’s Awards were presented by David Paterson, VP of marketing and technology, who expressed his admiration over the exceptional achievement, particularly in combination with the efficiency of operations and exceptional housekeeping that is maintained at all times.

“The Den Helder plant sets the standard for M-I SWACO liquid mud plants throughout the Eastern Hemisphere in terms of design, construction, automation, efficiency and safety,” said Paterson. “Rick Tiebie and his small team, working in conjunction with our Dutch Operational team, do an outstanding job providing the highest level of LMP support to our Dutch customers such as GdF/Suez, Wintershall, TOTAL and Shell. This mud plant is a clear example for other LMP facilities around the world; and as we build new LMPs and upgrade our existing LMP infrastructure internationally, many of the key features of the Den Helder LMP will be incorporated in these projects.”
