WellDev is a team in PT XYZ which responsible to directly support oil production by preparing surface facilities for new wells.Since its roles play very important part to PT. XYZ reputation and performance, it is very important for WellDev Team to deliver the projects safely and timely.In general, surface facilities preparation works are divided into two major activities: preparing well pad location to accommodate drilling need and installing oil production facilities,such as piping and electrical facilities, so the newly drilled well can be put in production. WellDev Team’s responsibilities starts from surveying new wells location as requested by AsDev team, designing new surface facilities, estimating and managing project cost, and managing execution of surface facilities construction. Major challenge this team face is the fluctuation of drilling schedule. This caused WellDev team must frequently shift its effort and priority in order to avoid costly drilling rig stand-by. Usually the team could fulfill this by preparing as many as possible well pad to be ready for drilling. However in the situation where resources are limited, this strategy might not be possible. This paper presents the recommendation for WellDev team to improve its performance in order to meet specified target set by company despite limited resources.Lean Sigma methodology is used to identify waste in the team’s workflow process and identify the noise in current work practices. This paper will discuss deeply in Lean Sigma methodology conducted and improvement plan proposed by the initiative.
