The objective of this paper is to summarize some good practices that must be in place to ensure that re- assigned geo-steering jobs run successfully. During recent years the amount of jobs that have been re- assigned to the BHGE from other Service Companies by the Drilling Team have increased significantly and were all executed successfully. This makes a strong statement, that re-assignment of jobs plays an important role in increasing the trust of the client to the services that are provided by BHGE. Job re-assignment typical results in optimized service and delivery not to mention the improved economics. Developed a procedure for collecting data and documented some of the re-assigned jobs we did and found out the keys that can make the tool excel in execution. This good practice will really be needed in order to make successful re-assigned job. The re-assigned job comes in to play due to service provider’s (1) Tool failure, (2) Wellbore instability that causes stuck-pipe and lost in hole, and (3) Inability to provide back-up tool after tool failure or lost in hole. The unsuccessful service and inability to understand the wellbore problems become the most significant contribution in losing the job to another company. Some good practices in executing the re-assigned job will be summarized and concluded in order to get the idea how to provide expected service to client. Integrated study from all aspect in drilling involving geo-steering engineer, geo-mechanic specialist, well planners, geoscientists, application engineers, workshop engineers, geologist, drilling engineer, drilling team and field engineer in location will enhance the ability to understand the situation in the hole and we will be able to provide faster decision how to execute the job successfully. Most of the re-assigned job initiated by wellbore stability issues in the hole, guide to another problem, and were not able to be recognized by the team in time. The second thing is series of tool failure and inability to provide the back-up tool in time. The last thing is the lack of service or unable to provide the service that is needed by the client. Successful execution in re-assigned job will increase the trust of the client to the tool and service, and also will become a good campaign in selling the service and make the client remember about our service quality. These findings will help service provider to learn about how to provide expected service and make a good decision while executing the re-assigned job.
