Loss control is a process safety strategy widely applied across industries such as aviation, automotive, transportation, rail, and maritime operations. In drilling operations, loss and waste often result from technical, procedural, or human factors. This course challenges participants to examine physical, procedural, and human evidence in order to identify what goes wrong and why. The objective is to enable participants to evaluate root causes and develop effective corrective and preventive actions.
The program includes structured discussions and practical exercises focused on reviewing, analyzing, identifying, and investigating drilling project hazards and risks that contribute to lost time events. Participants will learn how to optimize drilling resources proactively to minimize loss and waste, thereby improving overall wellbore performance and operational efficiency.
Real case studies are incorporated to demonstrate practical methods for achieving drilling excellence. Using adult learning principles, the course introduces MLT™ concepts, methods, and performance metrics that can be integrated into existing management systems and daily drilling practices. The application of structured loss control elements—such as clear instructions, standards, measurements, evaluation, and success criteria—provides a SMART, performance-focused alternative to traditional Non-Productive Time (NPT) tracking approaches.

Peter Aird, C.Eng, CMarEng, FIMarEST, has over 40 years of experience as a drilling, well engineering, and operations specialist. He began his career with Shell International (1980–1987) as a drilling supervisor, later moving into staff-based engineering roles with Shell and BP between 1987 and 1993. From 1993 to 2005, he expanded his expertise through global consultancy assignments, working on deepwater, HPHT, exploration and appraisal frontier wells, and complex deepwater horizontal development drilling projects. His international experience spans Southeast Asia (Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and China), the North Atlantic (West of Britain, Norway, Faroe Islands, and Greenland), the Black Sea, the South Atlantic, the Mediterranean, the Red Sea, and West Africa. From 2005 onward, he held senior staff, consultancy, and advisory leadership roles in specialist drilling engineering with operating companies including Kerr-McGee, Maersk, Marathon Oil, Cairn Energy (UK), ONGC (India), Centrica (Norway), and Providence Resources (Ireland). During this period, he further refined his expertise across subsea, horizontal, platform infill, HPHT, deepwater, and ultra-deepwater drilling projects.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The objectives of this workshop are to enable participants to:
o Recognize and analyze the true and evident extent of the physical ‘loss and waste’ that exists within well operations.
o Determine and evaluate what the benefits are by applying the ‘knowledge and managing lost time’ delivery approach can achieve.
o A primary objective is to change the way people approach challenges, using the MLT methods and metrics
o SEE (Safe, Effective, Efficient), the CAN-DO change that can result (based on case studies presented) using MLT™ metrics, management and controls as advocated within this course.
