Oil and Gas SOP Writing Services | EDC Technical Writing
Start operating with more gains and fewer losses
Loss of containment. Non-productive time. Large fines.
Whether your team made an honest mistake or has simply outgrown your small-time approach to operations, such costly errors are a sure sign that controls must be put in place to build a safe, error-free work site.
Enter formalized oil and gas standard operating procedures (SOPs)—the keys to safe, scalable operations. EDC’s technical writers have extensive experience in working with senior management, engineers, and field techs to produce compliant and actionable procedures for the upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors.
Stop depending on tribal knowledge
Making use of unwritten, shared knowledge may have worked when you had a small, tight crew. But growth of personnel and operations necessitates formal documentation to ensure consistency and mitigate operational risk.
Our technical writers excel at interviewing subject matter experts (SMEs), such as engineers and veteran field techs, to identify and document tribal knowledge. Then we synthesize this knowledge with any source material, and simplify it for a layman audience to ensure all personnel understand what needs to be done and how.
