Èpeus was asked to identify and analyse the risk profile of the entire project including both the operator sponsored upgrades and the drilling contractor work. Then determine whether the contractors’ project team could achieve its targets and begin transit to Africa in time to meet the contract start date.

The Findings
The review was conducted at the beginning of December 2004 and revealed that due to the risks that the project faced the planned transit start date of 26th April reflected a 10% probability of target achievement with a more likely end date being the 3rd of May 2005 instead.

Project Outcome
The rig left the dock to begin transit on the 3rd May 2005 reflecting the predicted outcome from the Success Ènabler study conducted during the planning phase of the project.

Success Ènabler has been designed specifically to enable you to more accurately plan projects and take account of previously unidentified events and impacts increasing your chances of successful outcome to your project.
