Choose the right perspective
Match the person's asset type to your question, since onshore shale, offshore and midstream operations face different constraints. Check whether their relevant role is current or past, and ask which basins, fields or facilities they ran directly.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you set production and lease operating cost targets for a field, and what do you do when a team misses them?
- 02Where do handoffs between drilling, completions and production teams cause delays or lost output, and how did you fix them?
- 03Which field technologies or service vendors changed how your operations teams work, and how did you decide to adopt them?
