Leveraging real-time drilling insights is essential for optimizing operations, reducing risks, and maximizing efficiency in the energy industry. By using advanced data acquisition and analytics platforms, drilling teams can make informed, data-driven decisions to enhance performance and safety. But how exactly does live drilling data support decision-making? Let’s explore. 1. What is Real-Time Drilling Data?…
Real-time data exchange is critical for making informed drilling decisions. This is where WITSML (Wellsite Information Transfer Standard Markup Language) plays a crucial role. As the industry-standard data format for wellsite information, WITSML enables seamless interoperability between various drilling applications and service providers. But what makes WITSML the go-to standard for drilling data? And how…
Geosteering is one of the most challenging aspects of drilling. It is mission-critical, and the drilling team must leverage as many tools as possible to stay within the pay zone. Every member of the asset team plays a vital role: geologists analyze offset wells, drilling engineers determine the feasibility of wellbore geometry, and the Directional…
Wireline Viewer The Wireline application allows you to monitor and review data from runs and passes. Every foot of wireline data matters- with tool responses indicating changes in the overburden or reservoir. When paired with real-time LWD and time-based logs the subsurface team is equipped with the data they need to make decisions on the…
The last 18 months have shifted collaboration forever. So how effective has the upstream sector shift been? They say necessity is the mother of invention and the limits of all sectors, including our own, have certainly been tested over the last year. The unprecedent challenges have been many; from restrictions on travel to rig sites,…
Shift your drilling up a gear with Heatmaps! At the rigsite a picture is worth a thousand data points. Your drilling team – engineers, tool pushers and geoscientists often spend too long wading through large volumes of data to decipher patterns, subtle rates of change, and thresholds being breached. It remains a challenge across the…
Drilling Engineering Today Designing, monitoring, analyzing performance and coordinating onshore and offshore drilling teams. These are just some of the tasks required of your drilling engineers to ensure that a well is executed safely. To bridge the gap between the rig and the office; Geoscientists, the drilling teams, and service contractors, must all work together.…
