1 Vision and strategy – the basis of future success
Definition of company vision – - who do we want to be, what are our markets and which products do we want to promote ?
Crafting strategy – what steps do we undertake to realize this vision ? What will it take, how do we arrange it and what will it deliver ?
2 PRE-Sys – Personnel Resource Enhancement System
Competency management – what competencies are needed to deliver the products in the way that the strategy demands ?
What skills are missing ? What is the personnel investment required to realize the strategy ? How to create personnel competency management ROI ? Getting the right people in – temporary personnel sourcing and implementation.
Remote operations – difficult communications, inability to contact suppliers and clients, isolation from technical and engineering developments.
Support and supply – translation and definition of requirements, search for suppliers, establishment of relationships, engineering support for projects, procurement support, logistical and export support.
3 Remote operations - engineering and support

Along-hole depth is the most fundamental subsurface measurement made in wellbores. Along-hole Depth provides background and theory, practical hints and step-by-step guide for this measurement using in oil & gas and geothermal wells. Topics include depth determination methods, wireline and driller’s depth measurements, calibration, corrections, uncertainty determination and practical steps to providing consistent and auditable along-hole measurements. It includes insights into the differences between measurements and what can be done to explain and mitigate these. It also looks at the expected impact of API RP-78. Along-hole Depth is for drillers, wireline and LWD engineers, slickline operators and mud loggers as well as geologists, reservoir engineers, geomodellers, formation evaluation specialists, mud loggers, core analysts, cased hole service providers, production specialists, well data QA-QC personnel, students: basically anyone who deals with subsurface data and services.
