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…

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…
Over the past few decades, the world has seen a speedy evolution of mobile generation technology. From ‘only voice’ analog 1G mobile network to the rise of mobile internet experience and focus on wireless World Wide Web (WWW) – the mobile space has surely changed a lot. With that, the way we use our mobile…
Upstream data management is a complicated process and getting it right is critical. Logs and reports composed using raw real-time or static data are constantly being generated and distributed. Unpicking the strands is not a trivial task. Each contractor has their own database which grows minute by minute – throw in duplicate reports and inaccurate…
Achieved excellent gas quality range for carrying out gas analysis by replacing gas extraction equipment The Challenges During a trial with a National Oil Company it was observed that the gas data (chromatography and total gas) received from the surface logging contractor was of questionable quality for performing gas quality analysis which in turn was…
