In November 2017, ExxonMobil Canada Properties (EM) started production from the world-class Hebron development located approximately 340 km offshore St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador (NL), Canada. The Hebron Platform is a standalone concrete single shaft Gravity Base Structure with an Offshore Loading System, Single Integrated Drill Rig, and Topsides production facilities capable of handling 150,000 barrels per day of crude oil.
The Hebron Project was developed from Pre-FEED to Start-Up over the course of eight years in more than a dozen work sites. The project has achieved schedule commitments and liquidated more than 60 million work hours. A large contributor to success was the effective integration and management of engineering, fabrication and commissioning organizations at all work locations. This paper will explore the execution techniques which enabled the organization to successfully manage a complex scope divided amongst diverse work locations and contractors as well as describe some of the leadership and management techniques employed to create productive work behaviors across teams and work locations.
