BAAR, Switzerland,
Sept. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Weatherford International
plc (NYSE: WFT) received two recognitions from Chevron affiliates
highlighting performance at Chevron's operations in Angola and Australia.
The service company achieved a record of 15 years with zero
lost-time incidents (LTI) at Chevron's Malongo Base in Cabinda,
Angola. Additionally, Weatherford
Tubular Running Services recently completed a large-scale deepwater
development campaign for Chevron Australia with zero nonproductive
time (NPT). These quality, health, safety, security and environment
(QHSSE) achievements follow the Company's recognition of 2015 as
the safest year in its history.
Weatherford has a robust Operational Excellence and Performance
System (OEPS) and offers several technologies that mitigate risks
to the health and safety of rig personnel. For example, the
Weatherford mechanized casing-running system enhances safety and
efficiency by making up stands of casing offline and racking them
back in the derrick, all without manual handling. The mechanized
casing-running system with 14-50 and 7.6-30 power tongs was
instrumental in executing a nine-well campaign for the
Chevron-operated Wheatstone Project in Western Australia. The campaign involved
making up 6,923 tubular connections during 68 casing and completion
operations, and was completed without NPT.
"The recent accomplishments in Angola and Australia are representative of how
Weatherford has purposefully and systematically developed a culture
of safety and service quality with a global reach," said
John Raine, Vice President of QHSSE
at Weatherford. "We passed a milestone in 2015, and we are
continuing to improve on our record-setting safety performance in
2016."
