Creative management for continuous economic growth: Lost Hills Alliance, Kern County, California
Alliances are increasingly becoming an integral part of everyday business. Health and longevity of a true alliance depend on the ability to implement a progressive management style putting aside traditional operator-contractor relationships. Alliance efforts must emphasize teamwork and technology. This synergetic approach guarantees success, economic growth and profit for the alliance partners. This paper illustrates the strategies that allowed the fracturing alliance between Chevron and Dowell, to evolve from low-cost, due to increasingly rising discounts, to an alliance based on dynamic implementation of management and technology. These strategies focus on a comprehensive engineering approach, cost effective application of technology, logistic optimization and combined management to achieve both the operator and service company economic goals.
