Wireline QA/QC

The Wireline Quality Assurance Quality Control process focusses on monitoring the deliverables on a already established contract.

It basically takes a Technical Procurement process half way and does not optimize the contract for minimized exposure and cost, and guaranteed appropriate G&G answers.



The overall process covered

  • Review already established contract requirement and potential Company explosure.
  • Plan Wireline logging operations as per Services Proposed by Contractor in the contract
  • If required, audit supplier compliance to contract
    • Audit Supplier base (HSE, maintenance facility, …)
    • Audit equipment availability and maintenance
    • Audit proposed personnel qualification and verify and validate expertise and experience
    • Validate that the proposed equipment is able to deliver the required data and services. 
  • Perform a risk assessment of data acquisition program and optimize the tool selection and combinations based on well design and hole condition
  • Design and communicate the Project Operation Protocol and the associated subcontractor Quality Assurance Plan.
  • Monitor the operations to ensure the team is performing according to the program and the original requirements are fulfilled. Evaluate acquired Data Quality
  • Continously perform gap analysis between acquired dataset and requried one to solve new ongoing technical chalenges, and propose technical solutions to address these challenges. 
  • Negotiate technology upgrades with Contractors as required
  • Flolow up on any equipment damaged in hole in order to minimize cost exposure to Company. Like an insurance company would do. 
  • Draft lessons learned, if any
  • Review and approve wireline logging invoices
  • Feedback into Company process improvement
