Combining technical knowledge, international experience in Real-Time Drilling Solutions, and management principals to deliver usable wells with improved safety, and efficiency.
We have developed a proven record of successfully lowering drilling costs, reducing NPT & ILT, and improving delivery time. Our enriched experience included deep / ultra-deep-water and ERD wells with geographical coverage over India, Malaysia, Brunei, Middle East, North Sea, North Africa, China, Sakhalin, New Zealand and Australia.
From providing a single well torque, drag, ECD and hole cleaning to building sophisticated Real-Time Operations Centres servicing multiple wells we can help at all phases including; RTOC design and management, Pre-drill Feasibility Studies, Risk Management, Peer Reviews, Well Bore Integrity, Drill String Integrity, Hydraulics Management, Hole Cleaning, Performance Optimization, 24/7 Monitoring and Intervention, Designing Communications Protocols, Post-drill Analysis, Lessons Learned, Process Standardization, Failure Investigations and Root Cause Analysis, and Training.

The need for Real-Time Drilling Monitoring and Optimization
Increasing advancement and complexity in the drilling and completion of oil and gas wells has been associated with increasing risk, cost and criticality which require careful Risk Analysis, Making of Well-informed Decisions and Stringent Quality Control to safeguard operations and increase effectiveness and efficiency which leads to the definition of Drilling Optimization. Real-Time Drilling Monitoring and Optimization improves drilling performance and provides cost-effective and incident free operations.
E&P companies are under intense pressure from shareholders, regulators and communities to maximize productivity, reliability, efficiency, profitability and safety. The cost of poor decision making and performance has become very high, and disasters have occurred. Most oil and gas related disasters were the result of poor Risk Management and Poor Decisions, and yet they could have been prevented. (PSA Norway 2011; Leveson 2011; National Commission on the B. P 2011).
A Well Managed (RTOC) can change real-time data from being a “High Cost” data to a “High Value” information, knowledge, and wisdom necessary for well- informed decisions. A functional RTOC can provide the Right Information, in the Right Format, to the Right Personnel, and at the Right Time to make the Right Decision.

Drilling Optimization – Drilling Efficiency and ROP
Drilling Optimization improves drilling efficiency and drives down operational costs. Drilling Efficiency and performance are sometimes confused with improved ROP. Drilling efficiency could be defined as;
The construction and delivery of a quality well while achieving the lowest cost effect.
To optimize drilling, a holistic approach to analysing Performance Qualifiers should be selected considering NPT and ILT. Performance qualifiers (PQ) include footage drilled per BHA, downhole tool life, vibrations control, durability, steering efficiency, directional responsiveness, ROP, and borehole quality. PQs must be achieved in their ranked order on a project basis. A good strategy to improve drilling efficiency is to give priority to the achievement of operational objectives than mechanical considerations.
