Once again, Jonathan has hurt himself. He fell down the stairs. You could have sworn he’s done this before – didn’t the guys on site call him “Lumpy” for a year after giving himself a welt on his forehead? – but there’s no time to figure that out right now. This fall was bad, and now you’re calling your HR department, telling someone onsite to drive Lump–uh, Jonathan–to the hospital, and wondering how much paperwork you have to fill out. Not to mention you’ll have to explain to your customer why production was paused and there’s potential to miss your deadline.
Jonathan has hurt himself before. Multiple times. He’s a klutz but maybe this time it wasn’t his fault. Ask anyone onsite and they’ll tell you how those stairs are always slicker than they should be and they’re moving quickly and don’t hold on to the handrail. Now you have a guy in the hospital, slowed production, and all of it could have been prevented. You didn’t utilize Behavioral Based Safety Observations.
Someone should have reported those slick stairs and added grips. What if you had a record of your employees not holding the handrail regularly? You could have made that part of your briefing this morning, maybe Jonathan would have thought twice, and this entire mess would not have happened.

Why are cloud-based solutions like Wellsite Report so great?
Information Age addressed this question, saying: “The cost-of-entry to the cloud is very low and typically based on pay-as-you-go, with charges directly relating to specific compute and storage requirements. Oil and Gas companies, especially smaller independents and service companies, can benefit from access to sophisticated, scalable and secure IT infrastructure for very little outlay, as well as transparent operational monthly costs and less overall impact on the balance sheet.”

As we’ve met more companies and gotten to know their processes, the same question comes up: Is your company utilizing analytics? The answer varies from company to company but there is a consistent pattern to all their answers. While many companies are using some kind of analytics, they’re not using the right analytics; or worse, they aren’t even collecting the proper data in order to make their analysis beneficial. As big data sweeps into the oil and gas industry, it’s clear that those companies who are slow to incorporate data and analytics into their process will be the companies who fall behind.As the only millennial in the WSR office, I get it — us millennials get a bad reputation in the workplace. But it’s closing in on the time when companies (and yes, even oil companies) need to embrace the millennial worker. In fact, you have fewer than three years to accept that millennials are here to stay: by 2020, 50% of the workforce will be the millennial generation, and there will be no avoiding us after that.
What is it about the word “millennial” that makes businesses worry? It might be that 51% of businesses report that millennials are the most costly individuals to hire and train. That fact, coupled with knowing that 60% of millennials are open to new job opportunities at any given time, causing millennial turnover to cost the US $30.5 billion each year, means that companies need to figure out retention strategies — and fast.
For oil and gas, that means utilizing technology to retain young, skilled employees. 21% of millennials say technology that improves the work process can give them more reason to stay at a job. That means less turnover and less money being spent training new employees. Here at Wellsite Report, we are all about process, user-friendly technology, and giving employees the tools needed to make their job easier and faster.
The one complaint I hear over and over from my millennial friends (and to be honest, a complaint I’ve had at previous jobs), was the lack of process, accountability, and follow-up in a workplace’s set-up. Everyone hates wasted time, but we’re willing to leave a company for less money to improve quality of life. Embrace process technology now and be ready for when your company is half-millennial, because whether you like it or not, it’s coming faster than you think.
Wellsite Report is here to streamline your process, simplify the training process, and retain millennials for the oil and gas industry.
Strategy firm Clareo and the Kellogg Innovation Network (KIN) reported on the E&P industry and its growing desire to create new digital solutions to increase production and reduce costs. Their paper, “The Oil & Gas Industry’s New Normal: Rethinking Innovation Priorities in the Age of Low Prices,” encourages the fast growth of innovation, commenting that digital solutions are one of the largest opportunities for the industry.
Sure, Goliath can pour all their money into Silicon Valley. But not everyone is a Goliath, and not everyone can turn to developers to create customized digital strategies. What’s the little guy supposed to do to stay not only in the black but still embrace digital solutions?
Companies can start with the basics: safety and management. Compared to re-designing your entire drilling system, implementing a new way to report incidents and manage projects is minimally invasive while still resulting in increased efficiency and savings. Goliath is utilizing data services, so why can’t you?
The beauty of Wellsite Report (besides its intuitive mobile app, easy-to-use incident management, and customizable forms) is its scalability. You pay based on users and the features you need. No fluff, just efficiency. Starting with a digital safety management program that puts the data into your hands and gives you simple ways to supervise incidents – oversee an entire project from beginning to end.

I recently found a discussion on LinkedIn discussing Behavior Based Safety (BBS) reporting. Players in the Oil and Gas industry debated back and forth on its legitimacy, asking, does it actually work or is it a waste of time? As I read through the replies, one thing became clear: people underestimate BBS reporting. Here at Wellsite Report, we have a strong opinion on BBS, so much so that we’ve made it a pillar in our software. But why? Why is safety reporting of all types, including BBS, crucial to minimizing onsite incidents?
Safety is not a, “If you build it, they will come” scenario. A culture of safety beings with expectations and only becomes successful once embraced by a team. That’s the difficult part — getting your team to hold safety at as high a standard as their production. And if you already have one difficult part to manage, why add unnecessary complications?
Enter Wellsite Report with our intuitive observational reporting. We break down the patterns in your company that will lead to minor, major, or catastrophic incidents. Once you see how easy it is to report an observation you’ll be amazed at how much you’ll learn about your employees’ behaviors. Find the patterns in the root cause of incidents and you can start to save some major bucks.
