The project scope is a document that defines the parameters that define the project and determine its
behaviour—what work is done within the boundaries of the project and the work that is outside the project
boundaries. The scope of work is typically a written document that defines what work will be accomplished by
the end of the project. The project scope describes what will be done and the project execution plan defines how
the work will be accomplished. Some projects have a very detailed scope of work and some have a short
summary document. The quality of the scope is measured by the ability of the project manager and project
stakeholders to develop and maintain a common understanding of what products or services the project will
deliver. The size and detail of the project scope is related to the complexity profile of the project. A more
composite project often requires a more detailed and comprehensive scope document.

The scope of work is the basis for agreement by all parties. A clear project scope document is also critical
to managing change on a project. Since the project scope reflects what work will be accomplished on the project,
any change in expectations that is not captured and documented creates the opportunity for confusion. One of the
most common trends in projects is the incremental expansion in the project scope, which is called scope sneak.
Scope sneak threatens the success of a project because the small increases in scope require additional resources
that were not in the plan. Increasing the scope of the project is a common occurrence and adjustments are made
to the project budget and schedule to account for these changes. Scope sneak occurs when these changes are not
recognized or not managed. The ability of a project manager to identify potential changes is often related to the
quality of the scope documents. Several events occur during the project phase which may force change in scope
of the project. Changes in the marketplace may require change in a product design or the timing of the product
delivery. Changes in the client‘s management team or the financial health of the client may also result in changes
in the project scope. Changes in the project schedule, budget, or product quality will have an effect on the project
plan. Generally, the later the change occurs in the project, the greater the chance of increase in the project costs.
Establishing a system for managing change during the project that captures changes to the project scope and
assures that these changes are authorized by the appropriate level of management in the client‘s organization is
the responsibility of the project manager. The project manager also analyzes the cost and schedule impacts of
these changes and changes the project plan to reflect the changes authorized by the client. Changes to the scope
can cause costs to increase or decrease.
A functional organization places individuals in departments that focus on precise processes, such as
reservoir engineering, production engineering, or drilling and completion. The matrix organization places overall
management responsibilities in a management group. The management group acquires technical expertise from
the mixture of departments in the company and if necessary, secures the assistance from sources outside of the
company. The most attractive organizational structure for a well control event depends on numerous factors,
together with the severity and complexity of the happening and the availability of technical expertise. For routine
projects, moreover the discipline or functional approach possibly will be suitable. In favour of a complex and
technically difficult project, the matrix organization is preferable. The two structures suggested for well control

events are the functional and matrix organizations. The functional organization disperses the disciplines
surrounded by the departments in a company. Project teams are shaped within the departmental group.
Management is generally accomplished by the team leader or project manager, who also is a member of the
department.On occurrence, a drilling department is called upon to function in the role of project manager to
supervise the blowout control event. This arrangement may possibly be acceptable for smaller, additional usual
projects, however can present some problems in dealing effectively with a major event. A general error in the
management of well controlled projects is an attempt to redirect work within a departmental group after retaining
all of its existing responsibilities. This method dilutes the efforts of the project manager and one or more of his
projects will suffer as an outcome. Well controlled events should be managed by a single person with no other
priorities or responsibilities. Such a person can focus attention exclusively on the multifaceted process of
controlling the event well.

2. Literature Review

In this section, we try to discuss about several articles which are published in various reputed journals on
our current topic.
According to Kherbachi and Yang (2016)[1], For a Global Product Development (GPD) project to
coordinate a change management process that is geographically dispersed in response to a new functionality
requirement or technology, technical communication is a crucial component. Multi-Domain Matrix (MDM) and
Design Structure Matrix (DSM) models are efficacious methodologies for forecasting change propagation and
technical communication, optimizing the organization of GPD, and diminishing the complexity of changes. To
examine the factors that influence communication frequency in GPD, they combine the involvement degree
matrix with the concept of gain factors among distributed teams. In addition, this paper extends previous change
propagation algorithms by presenting a method for calculating the combined change likelihood matrix according
to the order of numerical change propagation paths. In conclusion, an industrial case study is presented to
exemplify the suggested frameworks for forecasting technical communication pertaining to modifications in
products. The outcomes offer a comprehensive managerial perspective on the effects of change propagation on
the technical communication within an organization's team.
In his work, Hartman (2000)[2] examines current thinking and practices in project management and
presents the SMART management framework, which aims to enhance existing project management approaches
by placing a stronger emphasis on efficacy during project delivery. The author emphasizes in his book the
importance of monitoring every aspect of a project and suggests that not all project management tools should be
utilized simultaneously. Rather, their application should be contingent on the project's circumstances.
Furthermore, he suggests that when these tools are combined with SMART management, they can generate
insightful information that can be utilized to mitigate challenges (2000).
In their evaluation of the prior literature on project management, Cleland and Gareis (2006)[3]
discovered that a substantial amount of general information is founded upon foundational principles. To

supplement this literature, numerous organizations, including the Association for the Advancement of Cost
Engineering International (AACEI), Project Management Institute (PMI), and Construction Industry Institute
(CII), have published substantial quantities of books and manuals on diverse facets of project management.
According to Azzopardi (2010)[4], the field of Project Management emerged from various practical
domains such as construction, engineering, telecommunications, and defense. The 1950s were widely regarded
as the inception of the contemporary era of project management. Before the 1950s, project management was
predominantly conducted ad hoc, utilizing Gantt charts or informal techniques and instruments.
According to Hutt James (2011)[5], a project plan serves as a strategic guide that delineates the precise
means by which a project will achieve its intended objectives. It is recommended that during the project planning
phase, specifically after the project has commenced and obtained preliminary approval and funding, 49 items be
specified for further scoping. Typically derived from the business case, its principal emphasis should be on the
project's progression.
Mohammed K. Barakat (2012) [6], posits that the Work Breakdown A crucial instrument for defining the
project's extent is structure. It establishes the terms and conditions of the delivery agreement between you and
your client. It specifies what may and may not be included.
According to Krahn (2005)[7], the mitigation of problems is predominantly contingent upon effective
management and leadership. The interconnection between these two concepts is commonplace in project and
organizational operations. According to the findings of his exhaustive investigation, a project manager must
possess a lengthy and varied list of leadership abilities, with people-oriented abilities bearing the most
significance. Moreover, project attributes and the proficiencies and capabilities of a project manager are
interconnected. Furthermore, she discerned that the perspectives of project sponsors and administrators regarding
the most crucial skills and competencies are not in agreement.
According to Abudi Gina (2010)[8], Return on Investment (ROI) is a financial metric utilized to assess
the efficacy and efficiency of an organization's investment. Investments include training programs, equipment,
human capital, and financial capital, among others.
Barry (2012) [9] asserts that effective project management necessitates transparent communication
pertaining to objectives, accountability, execution, anticipations, and criticism. An exceptionally high regard is
held for transparency and candor. Additionally, the project supervisor serves as an intermediary between the
team and the organization at large. Assuring the success of the team and the undertaking, the leader must possess
the capacity to negotiate effectively and employ persuasion when required. By means of proficient
communication, project leaders facilitate the accomplishments of both individuals and teams by establishing
unambiguous protocols for achieving the desired outcomes and for the professional growth of team members.

3. Existing Methodology

Several established systems and practices are currently utilized in the oil and gas industries for project
planning and control management. Typically, these systems incorporate communication platforms, scheduling
software, and project management tools to organize, oversee, and regulate diverse aspects of oil and gas projects.
To schedule activities, allocate resources, and manage deadlines, the current system frequently employs
established project management methodologies like the Critical Path Method (CPM) and the Program Evaluation
and Review Technique (PERT).
Constraints of the Current System:
1. The Management of Complexity: A Challenge As an industry, oil and gas operations are intrinsically
intricate, encompassing a multitude of interrelated processes, interests, and external influences. The current
systems may encounter challenges in efficiently overseeing the complexities of projects, resulting in obstacles in
foreseeing and resolving such complexities.
2. Dynamic project environments present a formidable obstacle : Environments in which oil and gas
ventures operate are constantly shifting and dynamic. The inflexibility of current systems to promptly adjust to
unanticipated modifications in regulations, market dynamics, or technological progress may have an adverse
effect on the results of projects.
3. Hazard Mitigation Obstacles: Risk mitigation is an essential component of project planning; however, the
current systems may encounter difficulties in recognizing, evaluating, and efficiently alleviating risks,
particularly when geopolitical unpredictability, environmental issues, and volatile market conditions are factors
to consider.
4. Challenge: "Integration of Advanced Technologies" The swift progression of technologies, including data
analytics, Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI), poses a difficulty for current systems, which
may encounter difficulties in effectively integrating and capitalizing on the complete capabilities of these
innovations to optimize project management and oversight.
5. Ensuring Regulatory Compliance: A Challenge Compliance requirements and regulations governing the oil
and gas sector are intricate. The inability of current systems to adapt to changing regulatory frameworks may
result in compliance complications that have the potential to affect project schedules and financial resources.

6. Stakeholder Communication and Collaboration: The success of a project is heavily reliant on the
collaboration and communication of various stakeholders, such as contractors, regulatory bodies, and project
teams. The current systems might be deficient in robust functionalities that would enable smooth collaboration
and communication, which could result in possible misinterpretations and setbacks.
7. The Integration of Environmental and Social Responsibility: An Obstacle As the importance of
sustainability and corporate social responsibility continues to grow, it may become more difficult for current
systems to effectively integrate and monitor initiatives pertaining to environmental preservation, community
involvement, and holistic sustainability practices.

8. Difficulty: Improving the Project Lifecycle for Maximum Efficiency Pre-existing systems might lack the
capability to offer all-encompassing tools required to optimize the complete project lifecycle, encompassing
conceptualization, planning, execution, monitoring, and closure. Neglecting comprehensive optimization may
lead to suboptimal performance and overlooked prospects.
9. Data security concerns pose a significant challenge : Amidst the escalating prevalence of cyber threats, the
current systems may encounter difficulties in maintaining resilient data security protocols. Safeguarding
intellectual property and confidential project data becomes an imperative consideration.
10. Knowledge management presents a formidable challenge: For continuous development, effective
knowledge management, including the capture and dissemination of lessons learned from previous endeavors, is
indispensable. The current systems might be deficient in advanced knowledge management functionalities,
which could result in the recurrence of errors and the failure to capitalize on opportunities for enhancement. It is
imperative to acknowledge and rectify these constraints in order to optimize the efficiency of control
management and project planning within the oil and gas sectors. It is essential that more advanced, flexible, and
integrated systems be developed in order to satisfy the ever-changing requirements of this dynamic and complex
industry.
