  the safe and efficient operation of the platforms
  without the distraction of a heavy planned
  maintenance workload.
• Increased efficiency of planned maintenance
• Maturing Asset determines a requirement to
  reduce OPEX
• Campaign maintenance a part of an overall project
  to reduce OPEX.
• Introduction of multi skilling / tasking within
  the platform core team.

NEW STRUCTURE

• Smaller multi skilled / tasked platform core
  teams operating the platform and carrying out
  frontline maintenance and breakdowns.

PLANNING

• The preparation of an appropriate schedule and
  plan for the year 2001 is critical to the Field
  Campaign teams success .
• The PMR man-hours for each Platform were assessed
  and this along with Platform activity determined
  the size of the team, route and length of time to
  be spent on each Platform during the year 2001.
• This equated to 23 weeks on the Alpha Platform ,
  17 weeks on Bravo and 12 weeks on East .

11
PLANNING cont

• All known Construction activities were added to
  the overall plan and the hours plotted against
  the Campaign Team manning.
• Activities have been planned such that the Field
  Campaign Team will remain together for each
  Platform tour . It is essential to their success
  that they are not fragmented throughout the field

PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED

• HUMAN FACTORS
• Repetitive work.
  - Positions
  will be rotated with Platform core team posts
• Reduced morale.
  - Ensure equality
  of conditions with Platform Core Teams
• PMR deferment.
  - During the
  first year some PFEER and Cat A PMRs will fall
  into backlog on two of the three platforms. Each
  of these PMRs has been risk assessed by a
  Technician, checked by platform supervision and
  approved by the SHE group.

PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED cont

• - Platform priorities.
  -
  Platform Supervisors reluctant to release
  personnel to the team leading to delays in
  setting up team.
• Integration of Construction and Maintenance
  Personnel
• - New methods of working
• - All personnel will be Task Supervisors,
  no Chargehands or Foreman.
