Reducing Non-Productive Time (NPT) In The Seven Well Drilling Project On The North Beach Of Javafrom PT Multi Jaya Tehnik

Abstract

Oil and gas as fuel are still the main needs for human needs on energy, and to obtain oil or natural gas, the drilling process should be executed. The drilling process is an expensive investment and requires a very high cost. Drilling cost is critical factor in determining the financial returns from an oil and gas investment. One of the factors that determines the cost efficiency of drilling is reducing the Non-Productive Time (NPT) or downtime. Downtime is an undesirable outcome in any operation. The NPT makes the high cost of drilling process. The higher the NPT,the more expensive the drilling costs will be. Drilling optimization is the key to reduce Non-Productive Time /NPT. There are many factors that cause NPT include natural factors, technical factors, human resources, and availability of equipment. For this reason, this study will examine the NPT in the drilling project undertaken by PT Multi Jaya Tehnik (MJT). This research is a quantitative study with cross sectional method which was carried out on 7 oil drilling projects by PT MJT. The data collection was carried out during the internship in July 2019. The research finds that from the 7 well drilling projects of PT. MJT, the result shows from the total operational time, how of 4.144,76 hours is lost due to NPT, of which 2420,25 hours is NPT ER. By reducing NPT via various means on focus of the equipments which PT. MJT provides, the projects can reduce loss time caused by NPT noticeable while also improving PT. MJT quality of service as an equipment rental company.
