The course involves the simultaneous execution of production and drilling activities at a single phase and location. Typically, the combination of drilling and production activities is considered to pose a relatively high level of risk to personnel and property, discouraging their simultaneous implementation. However, there are specific situations where maintaining production while drilling may be financially advantageous, as it helps avoid potential production losses or delays.
